The cumulative survival after censoring for renal transplantation
in patients diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy
was reduced compared to the rest of the dialysis
cohort. Nineteen events occurred in the diabetic nephropathy
group (n = 41), and 84 events occurred in the
other 256 dialysis patients, which included patients without
diabetic nephropathy (log rank χ2 =3.8, p = 0.051).
