a Kaplan-Meier curve for ESI-free survival according to the timing of initiation of peritoneal dialysis: early start versus late start. No significant difference between groups (log-rank P = 0.38). b Kaplan-Meier curve for peritonitis-free survival according to the timing of initiation of peritoneal dialysis: early start versus late start. No significant difference between groups (log-rank P = 0.95). c Kaplan-Meier curve for catheter survival according to the timing of initiation of peritoneal dialysis: early start versus late start. No significant difference between groups (log-rank P = 0.78). Early = break-in period < 7 days, Late = break-in period ≥ 7 days
