Key result
Diabetic patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had significantly worse survival compared to non-diabetics, with a 2.13 times higher relative risk of death (P<0.001).

Diabetes linked to higher CAPD mortality warrants vigilant CV/infection management; leaves open whether alternative modalities improve outcomes.
Cohort (n=1,990)
Yes
Does diabetes worsen survival and technique outcomes in patients undergoing CAPD compared to non-diabetics?
Relative Risk: 2.13
p-value: p=<0.001
Diabetic patients on CAPD have significantly worse survival compared to non-diabetics, largely due to cardiovascular and infectious causes, despite similar technique survival.
Viglino et al. (1994) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease requiring continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=1,990). Diabetes mellitus vs. Non-diabetic patients was evaluated on Death (survival) (RR 2.13, p=<0.001). Diabetic patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had significantly worse survival compared to non-diabetics, with a 2.13 times higher relative risk of death (P<0.001).
