Effect of different dialysis duration on the prognosis of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: a single-center, retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is a serious complication observed in peritoneal dialysis patients. Herein, we investigated the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of PD peritonitis in patients with different PD durations.

Methods

All peritonitis episodes from January 2007 to December 2020 at Peking University People's hospital PD center were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the long-dialysis duration (≥60 months, LDD) and short-dialysis duration (<60 months, SDD) groups. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between these groups. The risk factors for treatment failure were analyzed using a logistic regression model.

Results

During 14 years, 156 patients had 267 peritonitis episodes. There were 83 (31.1%) p
