Effect of an Oral Adsorbent, AST-120, on Dialysis Initiation and Survival in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Table 6

The 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rate of pair-matched patients. The 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates from administration of AST-120 were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method with a log-rank test. Survival rates at 3-, 5-, and 10-years were not significantly different in the AST-120 and non-AST-120 groups.

Survival	3-year	5-year	10-year	𝑃 value
AST-120	79.0	63.8	29.8	0.0664
non-AST-120	78.1	65.6	44.0
