Figure 1 Renin angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) prescription by region, Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) phase, and time on dialysis. “Other” includes any patients prescribed a RAASi other than an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). A/NZ, Australia/New Zealand. *DOPPS phase 2: 2002–2004; phase 3: 2005–2008; phase 4: 2009–2011; phase 5: 2012–2015; **Incident, on dialysis ≤120 days at study entry; prevalent, on dialysis >120 days at study entry.

Figure 2 Associations between antihypertensive medications and mortality in (a) incident dialysis patients and (b) prevalent dialysis patients. ACEi, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ARB, angiotensin receptor blockers; CCB, calcium channel blocker; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio. *Incident, on dialysis ≤120 days at study entry; prevalent, on dialysis >120 days at study entry.
