Chronic Kidney Disease and Mortality in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Recipients
Figure 1
Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival analysis based on stages of kidney dysfunction. The Log Rank statistic for the K-M Survival analysis was 25.71 (). For patients with GFR 60 mL/min (), mean survival time (SE) was months (CI 51.0, 69.5) and median survival time was months (CI 37.7, 60.7). For patients with GFR 60 mL/min (), mean survival was months (CI 77.4, 94.3); since survival rate did not drop below 50% during the observation period, no median could be calculated. For ESRD patients on hemodialysis (), mean survival was months (CI 22.8, 52.8) and median survival was (CI 15.6, 22.7).
