TABLE 4.

Outcome analysis of mortality and hospitalization by times axis in hemodialysis patients.

	Transitioned from PD vs. HD-only
			All-cause death		All-cause hospitalization
Partition of time axis	Events of Death (%)#	Events of Hospitalization (%)#	aHR* (95%CI)	P	aHR* (95%CI)	P
≤5 _months	177/150	266/964	2.61	< 0.001	0.91	0.184
	(46 vs. 11)	(39 vs. 31)	(2.04–3.35)		(0.80–1.05)
5–24 _months	93/495	299/1446	0.87	0.218	1.05	0.585
	(24 vs. 38)	(44 vs. 46)	(0.69–1.09)		(0.91–1.17)
2–5 _years	88/507	102/634	0.85	0.164	0.91	0.37
	(23 vs. 39)	(15 vs. 20)	(0.67–1.07)		(0.73–1.12)
> 5 _years	27/158	13/101	0.73	0.145	0.71	0.269
	(7 vs. 12)	(2 vs. 3)	(0.48–1.11)		(0.39–1.30)

*Multivariable adjusting model was the same as that in Table 2.

^#The portion of deaths in the different time axis by total deaths.

HD, hemodialysis; PD, peritoneal dialysis; HR, hazard ratio; aHR, adjusted hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
