Abstract
Introduction: Peritonitis is a common and serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) that leads to its discontinuation and death. Icodextrin (ICO) improves peritoneal ultrafiltration and its early use reduces mortality. However, its effectiveness in reducing PD-associated infections remains to be elucidated.
Methods: This retrospective observational study enrolled patients who underwent PD between September 2011 and March 2020. The patients were classified into two groups: those who received ICO at the initiation of PD therapy (early ICO) and those who received ICO later or not at all (late/no ICO) and were followed up from PD induction until PD cessation, death, or 3 years had passed.
Results: Of the 82 patients (age, 61 [53-72] years), 21 received early ICO. During follow-up (36 [14-36] months), the incidence of PD-associated peritonitis was 0.17 episodes per patient-year. Log-rank tests indicated that PD-associated peritonitis and tunnel infection (TI)-free survival rates were significantly better with the early use of ICO than with late/no ICO (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively). The early use of ICO remained significantly associated with decreased incidence of both peritonitis and TI (hazard ratio [HR], 0.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06-0.69 and HR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.01-0.78, respectively) using Cox regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders.
Conclusion: Beginning ICO administration at the initiation of PD shows promise for mitigating the risks of PD-associated peritonitis and TI.
期刊介绍:
Practical information on hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis and apheresis is featured in this journal. Recognizing the critical importance of equipment and procedures, particular emphasis has been placed on reports, drawn from a wide range of fields, describing technical advances and improvements in methodology. Papers reflect the search for cost-effective solutions which increase not only patient survival but also patient comfort and disease improvement through prevention or correction of undesirable effects. Advances in vascular access and blood anticoagulation, problems associated with exposure of blood to foreign surfaces and acute-care nephrology, including continuous therapies, also receive attention. Nephrologists, internists, intensivists and hospital staff involved in dialysis, apheresis and immunoadsorption for acute and chronic solid organ failure will find this journal useful and informative. ''Blood Purification'' also serves as a platform for multidisciplinary experiences involving nephrologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians in order to expand the level of interaction between different disciplines and specialities.
