Abstract
RESultS: The mean age at the start of PD was 51.9 ± 17.6 years and the mean PD duration was 27.5 ± 27.1 months (median: 20, range: 3–166). Hypertension was the most common cause of ESRD (36.1%), followed by diabetes mellitus (31.3%). Among these 313 patients, 58 (18.5%) died. Patients’ survival rates were 93.3%, 85%, and 72.4%, at one, three, and five years, respectively. A higher educational level (p=0.045), lower age (p=0.002), higher baseline creatinine (p=0.045), and higher baseline albumin level (p=0.003) were found to affect patients’ survival. Technique survival rates were 89.1%, 84%, and 74.1% at one, three and five years, respectively. Technique failure was associated with peritonitis rate (p=0.03).
