The incidence (A–C) and between-group difference (D–F) in all-cause death across three BMI categories among 14,007 PD patients vs. 28,014 HD patients matched based on BMI, age, sex, race/ethnicity, ESRD reason, Charlson comorbidity index, and dialysis vintage. Patients were followed up even after changing modality to either PD or HD. The curves were truncated at 4 years given <5% patients remaining at risk. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HD, hemodialysis; PD, peritoneal dialysis.
