Background

Peritonitis is a common cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique failure as well as a major contributing cause of death in PD patients. Early prediction of treatment outcomes can be major potential subsequent management for PD-related peritonitis. To date, existing evidences regarding the prognostic factors for treatment failure are scarce. We therefore determine factors predicted treatment failure among PD-related peritonitis.

Methods

A multicenter, retrospective observational study was based on the PD registry database of patients aged ≥ 18 from three PD center in Thailand. Baseline sociodemographics and laboratory examination characteristics were collected between January 2006 and December 2016. Treatment failure was defined as catheter removal or peritonitis-associated death. Predictors related to treatment failure were investigated by univariable and multivariable logistic regression.

Results

A total of 902 PD-related peritonitis episodes were included, 224 (24.8%) of which had treatment failure. Of those, 157 (17.4%) required Teckhoff catheter removal and 67 (7.4) had peritonitis-associated death.

Conclusion

In order to make a decision, four key predictors from this study may potentially help to identify patients at risk of treatment failure. Early establishment of the severity of PD-related peritonitis may offer opportunities to improve treatment outcomes.
