Fig. 3 — Comparison of cumulative incidences of technique failure, transplantation, and death according to sex, age groups, DM, or health security system among PD patients.

DM, diabetes mellitus; MA, Medical Aid; NHI, National Health Insurance; PD, peritoneal dialysis.

(A) There was no significant difference in the cumulative incidences of technique failure between male and female patients (P = 0.362). (B-D) Cumulative incidence of technique failure was significantly higher in younger patients than in elderly patients (< 65 years vs. ≥ 65 years, P = 0.041), and in diabetic patients than in non-diabetics (P < 0.001). In addition, MA beneficiaries had higher cumulative incidence of technique failure compared to patients covered by NHI (P = 0.002).
