Prognostic value of transthoracic echocardiography score for the prognosis of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We devoted ourselves to proving that the initial transthoracic echocardiography score (TTES) had predictive significance for patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

Methods

In this retrospective analysis, 274 CAPD patients who had PD therapy were recruited sequentially. TTE exams were performed three months following the start of PD therapy. All patients were divided into two groups based on the strength of their TTES levels. TTES's predictive value for CAPD patients was then determined using LASSO regression and Cox regression.

Results

During a median of 52 months, 46 patients (16.8%) died from all causes, and 32 patients (11.7%) died from cardiovascular disease (CV). The TTES was computed as follows: 0.109 × aortic root diameter (A
