Fig. 3 Graph shows Kaplan-Meier analysis for cumulative stability of
catheter according to catheter placement method.
= long tapered
catheter placement method, censored cases;
= conventional method,
censored cases; X = fixed-catheter-tip method, censored cases. Stability rates
in patients treated with long tapered catheter placement method were
significantly higher than those for patients treated with conventional method
(p = 0.0208 using log-rank test) but were similar to rates for those
treated with fixed-catheter-tip method.
