  1. RACE X Age interaction P < 0.0001 by both COX and competing risks methods.
  2. Across each age category, Caucasians were the referent.
  3. Adjusted for sex, co-morbidity, BMI, albumin, distance, cause of ESRD, PD, pre-dialysis care, region.
  4. HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, N cohort size.
