  1. Table 4 shows the results of the machine learning model using sociodemographic/clinical variables and network statistics. Sociodemographic variables included age, sex, Black race, marital status, education, employment status, self-reported health, dialysis vintage, whether they would accept a living donation, and whether they would accept a deceased donation. The network variables included degree centrality, eigenvector centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and clustering. The model measure are reported and there standard deviations are reported as percentages
