Results stratified by diabetes and era of dialysis initiation
| Patient Subgroup | HD-CVC versus PD |
HD-AVF/AVG versus PD |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P | HR (95% CI) | P | |
| Diabetes | 1.0 (0.9, 1.1) | 0.6 | 0.8 (0.7, 0.8) | <0.0001 |
| Nondiabetes | 1.3 (1.2, 1.4) | <0.0001 | 0.9 (0.8, 1.0) | 0.04 |
| Era 2001 to 2004 | 1.1 (1.0, 1.2) | 0.02 | 0.8 (0.8, 0.9) | <0.0001 |
| Era 2005 to 2008 | 1.3 (1.2, 1.5) | <0.0001 | 0.9 (0.8, 1.0) | 0.02 |
The values are adjusted for age, race, gender, era of dialysis initiation, end-stage renal disease comorbidity index, primary renal diagnosis, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, province of treatment, and late referral.
