  1. 1 Lifetime dose of analgesic use: medium = tertile1 and 2; high = tertile 3 vs. referent = no or very low analgesic use (exposure to less than one tablet or unit dose of any phenacetin-free analgesic compound per month across all 12-months periods in the observed lifetime) at index date 3 (5 years before first dialysis). The category "other" means: other analgesics than those considered in the specific sub-analysis. The numbers don't add up because participants were classified into the category "other" analgesic, which is not exclusive.
  2. 2 Unmatched analysis; adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Adjustment for age group, sex, country, family history chronic renal diseases, exposure with welding/soldering fumes, solvents, and education
