— Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of survival status, comparing cumulative survival rate (survival time, months) based on hemodialysis groups (transfer and no-transfer). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 89.7%, 60.2%, and 43.1% in the no-transfer group, and 80.0%, 53.7%, and 27.6% in the transfer group. The cumulative survival between did not reach significance between the groups (log-rank p = 0.278).
