The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the patient characteristics, technique survival, and patient survival in a single centre. Methods: The retrospective review included 1,015 adults (47.3% female, 72.6% Chinese, mean age 58±12.4 years, mean follow-up 39.7±27.7 months) initiated on PD at the Singapore General Hospital from January 2000 to December 2008. Baseline characteristics, including cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), comorbid conditions, and endpoints (ie. death, transfer to HD or transplantation, renal recovery or until last follow-up on 31 December 2010) were collected. Demographic variables and patient and technique survival rates were analysed. Results: The main causes of ESRD were diabetes mellitus (DM) (58.0%), glomerulonephritis (GN) (23.3%) and hypertension (15.4%). The 1, 2, 5 and 10-year patient survival rates were 88.7%, 77.7%, 39.8% and 15.4%, respectively. Causes of death were related to infection (43.1%) and cardiac (37.8%). Patient survival rates were significantly better in PD patients with ESRD due to GN, compared with DM (5-year survival rates of 70.2% versus 22.3%, P | Source Title: | Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/124855 | ISSN: | 20101058 |
