  1. N = 43 for all variables listed, except race (N = 39) and years on dialysis (N = 41)
  2. BADL basic activity of daily living, ESRD end-stage renal disease, IADL instrumental activity of daily living, IQR interquartile range, LSA Life-Space Assessment (scale, 0–120, higher scores greater community mobility), PF physical functioning subscale (scale 0–100, higher scores better perceived functioning), PPPC Patient Perception of Patient-Centeredness (scale, 1–4, lower scores more patient-centered), SPPB Short Physical Performance Battery (scale, 0–12, higher scores better performance)
  3. *By paired t test. Note the statistical significance threshold, accounting for multiple testing overall and across subscales, would be 0.0125, by conservative (Bonferroni) correction
