Fig. 5. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and comparisons of survival rates by log-rank test in subgroups stratified by age categories and the presence of diabetes. (A) In non-diabetic patients aged less than 65, the survival rate of PD patients was higher than that of HD patients (p<0.001). (B) In non-diabetic patients aged 65 or older, the survival rate was not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.377). (C) In diabetic patients aged less than 65, the survival rate of PD patients was similar to that of HD patients (p=0.974). (D) In diabetic patients aged 65 or older, the survival rate of HD patients was higher than that of PD patients (p=0.004). PD, peritoneal dialysis; HD, hemodialysis.
