Risk Factors for and Outcomes of Catheter-Associated Peritonitis in Children: The SCOPE Collaborative.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The Standardizing Care to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric ESRD Collaborative is a quality improvement initiative that aims to reduce peritoneal dialysis-associated infections in pediatric patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis. Our objectives were to determine whether provider compliance with peritoneal dialysis catheter care bundles was associated with lower risk for infection at the individual patient level and describe the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes for peritonitis in the Standardizing Care to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric ESRD Collaborative.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We collected peritoneal dialysis characteristics, causative organisms, compliance with care bundles, and outcomes in children with peritonitis betwe
