Fig 3. Pre- and postoperative renal function in propensity score-matched patients.
No significant differences were observed in pre- and postoperative renal function after the 5-year follow-up (a). The proportion of patients with pre- and postoperative stage 3 CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.72 m2) was not significantly different between the groups (Fisher’s exact test) (b). A waterfall plot showed no significant differences in 5-year eGFR decrease rates after urinary diversion between the groups (unpaired t-test, P = 0.6499) (c). The proportion of patients with preoperative stage 3B CKD (eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.72 m2) was not significantly different between the groups; however, a significant difference was observed in the proportion of patients with postoperative stage 3B CKD in the incontinent group (Fisher’s exact test) (d).
