Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is increasingly used for long-term management of Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS). We compared outcomes in incident PD patients according to their baseline heart failure status.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study evaluated all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in incident PD patients with different heart failure status (non-CRS, acute heart failure [AHF], type II CRS, type IV CRS) who started PD between 2006 and 2016 in the Peking University Third Hospital.

Results

Of 748 patients included in the study, there were 466 (62.3%), 214 (28.6%), 27 (3.6%), and 41 (5.5%) patients in the non-CRS, AHF, type II CRS and type IV CRS groups, respectively. Patients with CRS were older (p<0.001), with more diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), coronary hea
