  • Title: Demographic factors associated with dialysis technique failures among patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Rubin J, Kirchner K, Ray R, Bower JD.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1985 Jun; 145(6):1041-4. PubMed ID: 4004428.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated factors that would predict a successful outcome on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. We found that poverty, the need for a helper to carry out the dialysis, and physician allocation to therapy was associated with a poorer technique success. Neither age, education, marital status, sex, rural home, nor the presence of diabetes were important risk factors by themselves.
