Fig. 2: Likelihood of renal transplantation by race and diabetic status, adjusted for age, sex, cause of ESRD, diabetes mellitus, mode of dialysis, dialysis centre, era effect, socioeconomic status and location of residence (urban or rural), expressed as the cumulative hazard ratio. A: All patients commencing dialysis treatment; these data are also adjusted for comorbidity. B: Younger patients without major comorbidity (age less than 60 years without known coronary disease, chronic heart failure, stroke, chronic lung disease, peripheral vascular disease, malignant or other serious medical illness that would be expected to reduce life expectancy). In both analyses, Aboriginal patients were significantly less likely to receive renal transplants (p < 0.001).
