: The interpretation and reporting of these data are the responsibility of the authors and the authors report no conflict of interest.
: The Renal Epidemiology Information Network registry was approved by the relevant French committees, the Comité consultatif sur le traitement de l’information en matière de recherche (CCTIRS N°03-149) and the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL N° 903188). For population-based registries requiring exhaustiveness, French regulations require that patients be informed by the clinic that they can choose not to participate (opt-out). Patients’ data were anonymized and de-identified before extraction for analysis. Access to the databases used in the present study was obtained from the Renal Epidemiology Information Network scientific committee and the CCTIRS (N°15-1046) and CNIL (N° 916072). No consent to participate was required due to the retrospective nature of this study.
