  1. Notes: *Data in this table is collected at the time of initial dialysis treatment for chronic renal failure.
  2. †This is an adaptation of the Charlson Index for ESRD patients; it assigns each of the 14 comorbid conditions a value of 1 to 10.
  3. ‡Includes cases where diabetes was reported as the primary reason for dialysis or as a co-morbidity.
  4. **Number of follow up patients differs from the number of prevalent patients reported in the CORR Annual Report (75% reported data and excludes patients < 18 years of age).
