Influencing factors for residual kidney function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Residual kidney function (RKF) impacts patients' survival rate and quality of life when undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically identify risk and protective factors associated with RKF decline and loss.

Methods

We searched three English and one Chinese databases from inception to January 31, 2023, for cohort and cross-sectional studies exploring factors associated with RKF decline or loss. The random effects model was employed to aggregate risk estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from multivariate analysis. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed to explore the heterogeneity among the studies.

Results

Twenty-seven studies comprising 13549 individuals and 14 factors were included in the meta-a
