All-cause mortality stratification analysis by age at dialysis initiation, sex, race, vascular access type, and comorbidity status at dialysis initiation. Estimates (HRs per 10 µg/m3 increase) of association between average daily PM2.5 (Lag 0–1) exposure and all-cause mortality among HD patients, 2011–2016.(30). HR = Hazard Ratio, DM = Diabetes Mellitus, COPD = Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Effect estimates reported for age at dialysis initiation groups were adjusted for: temperature, relative humidity, DOW, season, race, employment status, and geographic region. Effect estimates reported for race groups were adjusted for: temperature, relative humidity, DOW, season, age at dialysis initiation, employment status, and geographic region. The rest estimates were obtained from models that adjusted for: temperature, relative humidity, DOW, season, age at dialysis initiation, race, employment status, and geographic region
