Data are presented as number of events (percentage of group with event) and adjusted HR (95% CI). Adjustments were made for age, sex, selected comorbidities, and medications.

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CRR, Fine and Gray competing‐risk regression; PD, peritoneal dialysis; HD, hemodialysis.
