27 Although higher mortality seen in patients with CKD did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.2161), patients with chronic kidney disease showed lower median survival time during their time at hospital and, similarly to what happens with diabetic patients, this may reflect a greater susceptibility to develop an acute kidney failure. 25 , 27 Acute renal impairment had an important interference in patient evolution in this study as already proposed by previous studies. 25 Active malignant neoplasia was also associated with lower median survival time.
