Key result
Continuous ambulatory/cyclic peritoneal dialysis was associated with lower mortality compared to hemodialysis in as-treated (RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.69-0.77) and intent-to-treat (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.87-0.99) analyses.

Does CAPD/CCPD improve mortality compared to hemodialysis in patients initiating renal replacement therapy?
Relative Risk: 0.73 (95% CI 0.69–0.77)
CAPD/CCPD is associated with a lower short-term mortality rate compared to hemodialysis in patients initiating renal replacement therapy.
Schaubel et al. (1998) conducted a cohort in Renal replacement therapy (n=14,483). Continuous ambulatory/cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CAPD/CCPD) vs. Hemodialysis (HD) was evaluated on Mortality rate (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.69-0.77). Continuous ambulatory/cyclic peritoneal dialysis was associated with lower mortality compared to hemodialysis in as-treated (RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.69-0.77) and intent-to-treat (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.87-0.99) analyses.
