Geographic location of the 18 ESRD Networks. The networks are regional ESRD surveillance systems under contract to the Health Care Financing Administration. They are responsible for quality assurance. Data collected by the networks are transmitted to the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) for compilation of the USRDS annual data report.

Facility-specific unadjusted (•) and crude case-mix adjusted (▴) relative risk for death by dialysis facility. Unadjusted and adjusted estimates of the risk for death are relative to those of the largest facility. Estimates are ranked by adjusted mortality (bars indicate CI adjusted relative risk). The adjusted rates were controlled for age, race, diabetic renal failure, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, nutritional status and functional status. Figure reprinted with permission from13.
