a

Interaction terms were generated to account for interaction between independent predictors. Only the interaction terms found significantly interacting with each other (at p <0.05) were included in the model. In the above table, only interaction terms with the primary predictor variable CKD or ESRD are reported.

b

Interaction not found significant on univariate analysis with primary predictor variable ESRD and hence the interaction term was not included in that model.
