Comparison of patient survival and technique survival between continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automated peritoneal dialysis.

The mortality risk was not significant between CAPD and APD patients. APD is associated with a lower risk of technique failure than CAPD, particularly for male patients, and patients aged 50-65 years, with diabetes, without CVD, with high or high average peritoneal permeability, or initiating PD in an earlier era.
