Risk of blood stream infection (BSI) and death in the total study population and after first-time BSI. Results from the adjusted time-dependent Cox proportional hazard analyses. IR: Incidence rate per 100 patient-years; HR: Hazard ratio for the risk of BSI and all-cause mortality, as well as subsequent BSI episodes and post BSI mortality after first-time BSI. Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) are used as reference. AVF: arteriovenous fistula; TC: tunneled catheter; NTC: non-tunneled catheter; BSI: blood stream infection. Error bars illustrate 95% confidence intervals
