— Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of technique status (failure or success), comparing cumulative survival rates (survival time, months) based on hemodialysis groups (transfer and no-transfer). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 86.4%, 56.3%, and 36.0% in the no-transfer group, and 74.2%, 41.1%, and 18.1% in the transfer group. The cumulative survival rate did not reach significance between the groups (log-rank p = 0.076).
