Figure 1. — Survival curves of the patients in the cohort. Comparison of observed, expected, and net survival times.

Note. The figure compares survival observed, expected, and net survival curves. The median global survival time was 4.88 years (95% CI 4.72-5.05) and a net survival at 5 years of 0.53 (95% CI 0.52-0.54) in the dialysis chronic kidney disease cohort. The difference between the two survival measures at 5 years indicates that dialysis patients die 4% more from causes other than those related to dialysis. CI = confidence interval.
