  1. Data expressed as hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals, p-value). SHR- subdistribution hazard ratios. CAPD – continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. APD – automated peritoneal dialysis.
  2. #There was a significant interaction between age and causes of technique failure and the outcome of all cause mortality in the first 2 years post PD technique failure (p < 0.001).
