Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curve showing freedom from fluid overload for the PDC group (PDC+) and the non-PDC group (PDC−). By postoperative day 2 (fifth shift after surgery), only 17% of patients with a PDC had 10% or higher fluid overload compared with 50% from the control group (P = .002). PDC, Peritoneal dialysis catheter; PDC+, peritoneal dialysis catheter placed during surgery; PDC−, no peritoneal dialysis catheter.

Figure 2 Bar plot showing difference in outcomes between the 2 groups. *All comparisons in the bar plot are significant (P < .05). PDC, Peritoneal dialysis catheter; POD, postoperative day; FB, fluid balance; PDC+, peritoneal dialysis catheter placed during surgery; PDC−, no peritoneal dialysis catheter.
