Fig 6. Forest plot of the case fatality rate of COVID-19 in ESRD patients with RRT.

Fig 6

The figure summarizes the number of COVID-19 deaths in ESRD patients with RRT and the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in ESRD patients with RRT in 31 eligible studies. The forest plot represents the estimated case fatality rate of COVID-19 in ESRD patients with RRT for each study (black boxes), with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI; horizontal black lines). The estimated pooled case fatality rate (red diamond) was 18.06% (95% CI 14.09–22.32). The global case fatality rate (vertical red line) was 4.98%. The meta-analysis used a random-effects model with the exact method for confidence interval estimation. ES, effect size. I2, test for heterogeneity.
