  1. ERI erythropoietin resistance index, HR hazard ratio, CI confidential interval
  2. Propensity score analysis was performed using a multivariate logistic regression model, including confounding variables (age, sex, dialysis facility, diabetes, history of cardiovascular disease, dialysis duration, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, intact parathyroid hormone, transferrin saturation, ferritin, use of angiotensin receptor blocker or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and Kt/V)
