Kaplan-Meier analysis for patients with chronic kidney disease. The graphs show patients who underwent kidney transplantation (green line), patients who continued in the chronic hemodialysis program (CHP) (purple line), patients who migrated to continue ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (blue line), patients on intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) (red line), and patients on intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) (orange line). The survival of the entire population (760 patients) was 45.8% in the final analysis. According to the type of replacement therapy, the average survival rates were 100%, 61.9%, 72.5%, 8.2%, and 11.4% for patients who underwent a kidney transplantation, CHP, CAPD, IHD, and IDP, respectively (P < 0.001). RT, renal transplant.
