THE EFFECT OF CIGARETTE SMOKING AND PREVIOUS HYPERTENSION ON THE SURVIVAL OF PATIENTS TREATED BY CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

Peter J.T. Drew, John Cunningham, Stephen J. W. Evans, Frank P. Marsh and Frank J. Goodwin

From the Department of Nephrology, The London Hospital, London and the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, The London Hospital Medical College, London.

Life-table survival curves, computed for 107 patients undergoing CAPD at The London Hospital between July 1979 and March 1983, showed that patient survival at two years was 68% and overall treatment survival was 46%. However, when we excluded satisfactory outcomes of CAPD treatment, such as renal transplantation, as causes of treatment failure, the technique survival at two years was 62.5%. Age, cigarette smoking, and a history of severe hypertension had statistically significant and independent effects on survival and most deaths were due to causes not directly related to CAPD.

KEY WORDS: CAPD; survival; smoking; hypertension.
