Key result
Symptomatic vascular disease was present in 47% of CAPD patients and was associated with higher median systolic blood pressure (162 vs 150 mmHg, p=0.026) and cholesterol.
Why the study?
What is the prevalence of symptomatic arterial disease and its associated risk factors in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis?
Population

Symptomatic vascular disease in CAPD patients associates with higher SBP and cholesterol; leaves open need for prospective studies before guiding practice.
Case-Control (n=70)
What is the prevalence of symptomatic arterial disease and its associated risk factors in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis?
Absolute Event Rate: 162% vs 150%
p-value: p=0.026
Symptomatic vascular disease is highly prevalent in CAPD patients and is significantly associated with elevated systolic blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia.
Webb et al. (1993) conducted a case-control in Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=70). Symptomatic vascular disease vs. No symptomatic vascular disease was evaluated on Median systolic blood pressure (p=0.026). Symptomatic vascular disease was present in 47% of CAPD patients and was associated with higher median systolic blood pressure (162 vs 150 mmHg, p=0.026) and cholesterol.
