Key result
A previous history of heart failure in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients was associated with a lower 4-year survival probability compared to those without (37.4% vs 64.7%, P<0.0001).
Observational (n=220)
Absolute Event Rate: 37.4% vs 64.7%
p-value: p=<0.0001
Heart failure is highly prevalent in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients and is associated with significantly reduced 4-year survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Prior heart failure identifies peritoneal dialysis patients at high mortality risk; leaves open whether targeted management improves survival.
Wang et al. (2011) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease on long-term peritoneal dialysis (n=220). Previous history of heart failure vs. No previous history of heart failure was evaluated on 4-year survival probability (p=<0.0001). A previous history of heart failure in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients was associated with a lower 4-year survival probability compared to those without (37.4% vs 64.7%, P<0.0001).
