Mortality hazard ratios (HRs) for different medical insurance (NCMS vs. UBMI) in maintenance hemodialysis patients using Cox model, adjusted for age, gender, primary diseases, complications and type of vascular access. UBMI: the Urban Basic Medical Insurance; NCMS: New Cooperative Medical Scheme; BMI: body mass index; DN: diabetic nephropathy; HTN: hypertensive nephropathy; PKD: polycystic kidney disease; DM: diabetes mellitus; CVD: cerebrovascular diseases.
