Risk factors of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in the Japan Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is a major complication of PD. Wide variations in peritonitis prevention, treatment strategies and consequences are seen between countries. These between-country differences may result from modifiable risk factors and clinical practices.

Methods

A total of 1225 Japanese PD patients were included and prospectively followed in the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study phase 1 (2014-2018) and phase 2 (2018-2022). Associations between PD-related peritonitis and various risk factors were assessed by Cox proportional hazards survival models.

Results

During follow-up (median 1.52 years), 539 peritonitis episodes were experienced by 364 patients. The country crude peritonitis rate was 0.27 episodes/pat
