Overestimation of the probability of death on peritoneal dialysis by the Kaplan-Meier method: advantages of a competing risks approach. Beuscart, J., Pagniez, D., Boulanger, E., Foy, C. L. d. S., Salleron, J., Frimat, L., & Duhamel, A. BMC Nephrology, 13(1):31, May, 2012.
Overestimation of the probability of death on peritoneal dialysis by the Kaplan-Meier method: advantages of a competing risks approach [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In survival analysis, patients on peritoneal dialysis are confronted with three different outcomes: transfer to hemodialysis, renal transplantation, or death. The Kaplan-Meier method takes into account one event only, so whether it adequately considers these different risks is questionable. The more recent competing risks method has been shown to be more appropriate in analyzing such situations
