Abstract:Abstract: Objective To evaluate the survival rate of the patients having continuous peritoneal dialysis and to explore the associated factors for survival rate. Methods The clinical data of 338 cases who started to have continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) at the Second Xiangya Hospital from June 2010 to May 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the patients' survival rate. Cox regression model was used to define the prognosis risk factors. Results By the end of December 31, 2015, 235 patients had continuous peritoneal dialysis (69.5%), 18 had kidney transplantion (5.3%), 32 turned to have hemodialysis (9.5%), 42 died (12.4%), 11 were lost to follow-up (3.3%). The 6-month, l-year, 2-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rate was 92.9%, 86.3%, 76.5%, 73.6% and 70.4% respectively. The risk factors for the survival of peritoneal dialysis patients were serum albumin, residual renal function (RRF) and peritoneal infection (P < 0.05). Conclusions The early survival rate of the patients receiving continuous peritoneal dialysis in the Second Xiangya Hospital is similar to those in the domestic reports, but the 5-year survival rate is higher. Serum albumin, RRF and peritoneal infection are the main risk factors for survival of the peritoneal dialysis patients.
