dialysis (PD) patients. Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study based on data from …

Peritonitis is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and excess health care costs in peritoneal
dialysis (PD)[1–4] and is the predominant factor limiting the uptake and retention of patients …

Background Previous studies have reported significant variation in peritonitis rates across
dialysis centers. Limited evidence is available to explain this variability. The aim of this study …

Introduction This study was carried out to investigate the center effect on the risk of
peritoneal dialysis (PD) failure within the first 6 months of therapy using a multilevel …

Peritonitis is the most important therapy-related complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Unfortunately, many PD centers around the world do not accurately record peritonitis rate …

Background Peritonitis is a common cause of technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Dialysis center− level characteristics may influence PD peritonitis outcomes independent of …

Background Results concerning the association between peritoneal dialysis-related
peritonitis and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients are inconclusive, with one potential …

Peritonitis is a critical complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Investigators have reported
the risk of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) versus …

Background Peritonitis is the most important complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), and
early peritonitis rate is predictive of the subsequent course on PD. Our aim was to calculate …
