¹Demographic characteristics = age at KRT start; sex, income, and education based on CRIC baseline data. Insurance data are from CRIC baseline data and supplemented with updated data reported at time of KRT start to the USRDS (CMS-2728 form) if available.

²Other co-morbidities = tobacco use, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, MI or revascularization, PVD, stroke, HF, and cancer using most recent CRIC data available prior to KRT start and supplemented with updated data reported at time of KRT start to the USRDS (CMS-2728 form) if available.

³Demographic characteristics = age, sex, income, and education at baseline CRIC enrollment. Insurance data are from CRIC baseline data.

⁴Other co-morbidities = tobacco use, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, MI or revascularization, PVD, stroke, HF, and cancer at baseline CRIC enrollment.
