Key result
In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, metabolic syndrome was not associated with differences in overall, cardiovascular, or technique survival compared to those without metabolic syndrome.

Does not support using metabolic syndrome for prognostication in peritoneal dialysis; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective confirmation.

Does metabolic syndrome affect survival in peritoneal dialysis patients?
In peritoneal dialysis patients, metabolic syndrome does not significantly impact overall, cardiovascular, or technique survival after adjusting for diabetic status.
Szeto et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Peritoneal dialysis (n=329). Metabolic syndrome vs. No metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Overall survival, cardiovascular survival, and technique survival. In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, metabolic syndrome was not associated with differences in overall, cardiovascular, or technique survival compared to those without metabolic syndrome.
