Abstract
【Abstract】Objective To determine the influence of non-medical factors to the survival rate of Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients. Method 90 continue ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients had been investigated. Their cultural level, salary income per month and active ability had been investigated. Anxiety and depression status had been evaluated with Hamilton anxiety scale and Hamilton depression scale. This group of patients has been traced for 22 months and their clinic outcome has been recorded. Result 2 years survival rate of these patients was 86.3%, and 5 years survival rate was 49.9%. Patients with high cultural level had high survival rate (P<0.05), and patients with high active ability had high survival rate too (P<0.01). Patients with high salary per month were accompanied by high survival rate (P<0.05). No relationship had been found between Hamilton anxiety score or Hamilton depression score and survival rate (P>0.05). Conclusion Non-medical factors, such as cultural level, active ability and financial state, have influence to long-survival of peritoneal dialysis patients.
