Impact of peritoneal dialysis strategy on technique and patient survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of peritoneal dialysis (PD) strategy on technique and patient survival.

Methods

This was a retrospective, single-center study conducted on consecutive patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent PD between January 2009 and December 2019. The study sample was stratified into four different groups according to PD technique [automated (APD) or manual (CAPD)] and icodextrin use (yes versus no). The primary endpoints were survival of both technique and patient.

Results

A total of 531 patients were included in the analysis. Mean ± standard deviation age was 60.6 ± 14.6 years, 68.4% (363) were men and 34.8% (185) had diabetes. The median technique survival time was 19 (15) months. A total of 185 (34.8%), 96 (
