Mortality in dialysis patients with diabetes
The cumulative survival after censoring for renal transplantation
was reduced in dialysis patients with diabetes,
independent of the cause of renal failure, compared to
dialysis patients without diabetes, as seen in Figure 2
(Kaplan-Meier plot with separation after 12-months). A
total of 299 patients were included in the analysis with
34 events in the diabetic group (n = 78) and 69 events in
the non-diabetic group (n = 221). In addition separate
analysis was also done in patients with more than 2-
month observation period (n = 278).
