Objective Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection is a common cause of catheter loss and
the main reason for PD drop-out. Exit-site infection (ESI) is a pathway to developing tunnel …

Aims and objectives To investigate whether the type of dressing used (occlusive vs. semi‐
occlusive) impacts on exit‐site infection. Background The exit‐site infections are a major …

Objective Prevention of exit-site infection (ESI) is of paramount importance to peritoneal
dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of …

Background Catheter-related exit site infection is a major risk factor for the development of
peritonitis and can contribute to failure of treatment maintenance in peritoneal dialysis (PD) …

Materials and Methods: This historical cohort study carried out on 72 patients under
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis treatment, 54 with dressing versus 18 patients …

Exit-site infections (ESIs) increase the risk of developing peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis
and PD technique failure. There are no clear guidelines on how to monitor exit site (ES) after …

Objective We evaluated the effectiveness of local application of mupirocin ointment at the
catheter exit site in preventing exit-site infection and peritonitis attributable to gram-positive …

Exit-site care starts prior to surgery. One gram of vancomycin is recommended prior to
surgery to prevent early exit colonization by skin flora. Sterility of the operating field and …

Background: Exit-site infection (ESI) is a common complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD)
patients. Clearly understanding the risk factors may be useful for the prevention of ESI. This …

Objective The objective of our research was to summarize and review evidence supporting a
causal relationship between exit-site infection and peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) …
