eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HD, hemodialysis; KRT, kidney replacement therapy; PD, peritoneal dialysis; US, United States.

^aThe most recent eGFR within 6 mo of KRT initiation; value reported in median [interquartile range], frequency.

^bThe number of patients who received a transplant was 10 in Brazil, 81 in France, 7 in Germany, and 27 in the US.
