Factors used in the propensity score matching are patients’ age, gender, body weight, chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) as an underlying disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), and number of comorbidity, hypertension (HTN), and patient’ hematocrit. A cohort consists of 2548 peritoneal dialysis and 10192 propensity score matched hemodialysis patients without diabetes was generated. The risk for new onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) was analyzed using logistic regression for early type NODM (patients who developed NODM < = 6 months after dialysis) and Cox proportional hazards regression for late type NODM (patients who developed NODM>month after dialysis).
