2. Fig 1
Adjusted relative risks of death and first hospitalization by quintile of scores for HRQOL component summary scores. Relative risks of death (■) and first hospitalization (▵) by quintile of scores for each component of HRQOL, adjusted for demographic factors and comorbid conditions, including albumin, stratified by country and diabetes. The highest quintile is used as the reference group. For all 6 lines, there was a statistically significant trend (each P < 0.001) in the risks of both outcomes to increase.6 Reprinted from Mapes et al6 with the permission of Blackwell Publishing. © 2003 by the International Society of Nephrology.

3. Fig 2
Adjusted relative risk of death (A) and first hospitalization (B) according to level of depression assessed by the following questions: (1) How much of time have you felt so down in the dumps that nothing could cheer you up? (■) and (2) How much of the time have you felt downhearted and blue? (▵). “None of the time” is the referent (Ref) group. The dotted lines represent the RR expected under the null hypothesis (RR = 1). The models were adjusted for years on dialysis, sociodemographic factors, laboratory variables, and comorbid indicators. Statistically significant RRs (P < 0.05) are identified with an asterisk.10 Reprinted from Lopes et al10 with the permission of Blackwell Publishing. © 2002 by the International Society of Nephrology.
