Patient baseline characteristics by serum potassium variability during the first year of PD treatment.

Note: Values expressed as mean ± SD, number (percent), or median (interquartile range). Conversion factors for units: albumin and hemoglobin in g/dL to g/L, × 10; FBG in mg/dL to mmol/L, × 0.05551. No conversion necessary for serum potassium in mEq/L and mmol/L.Abbreviations: CVSP, coefficient variation of serum potassium; SDSP, standard deviation of serum potassium; and other abbreviations as listed in Table 1.
