ABSTRACT
Contexto la falla de la técnica en diálisis peritoneal puede ocurrir de manera no planificada, afectando los costos en salud y la calidad de vida del paciente. Objetivo estimar la incidencia de falla de la técnica y mortalidad y determinar los factores de riesgo asociados con el tiempo a la falla de la técnica, por causas médicas en el primer año de la terapia de reemplazo renal. Metodología estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que incluyó 2192 pacientes incidentes en diálisis peritoneal, utilizando los registros de centros de terapia renal Baxter en Colombia, durante el periodo entre enero del 2016 y diciembre del 2017. Asimismo, se estimó la tasa de incidencia y la tasa de mortalidad y se usó el análisis de regresión de Cox multivariado para determinar los factores de riesgo para falla de la técnica. Resultados se estimó una tasa de incidencia de falla de la técnica de 8,8/100 personas/año. La tasa de mortalidad fue de 7,9/100 personas/año. El modelo de regresión de Cox multivariado mostró que los factores de riesgo fueron hipertensión arterial (HR: 1,59; IC 95 % 1,01-2,48) y género masculino (HR:1,62; IC 95 % 1,03-2,56) y los factores protectores fueron el Kt/V > 1,7 (HR: 0,41; IC 95 % 0,25-0,65) e incrementar 1 gr/dl la albúmina (HR: 0,61; IC 95 % 0,43-0,87). Conclusiones la tasa de incidencia de falla de la técnica en el primer año de diálisis peritoneal en Colombia fue baja y la disfunción mecánica fue la principal causa. Los factores de riesgo asociados con el tiempo a la falla de la técnica fueron hipertensión arterial y género masculino.
Background The technique failure in peritoneal dialysis can occur in an unplanned way, affecting health costs and the patient's quality of life. Purpose The aims of this study were to estimate the incidence of technique failure and mortality; and to determine the risk factors associated with time to failure of technique due to medical causes in the first year of renal replacement therapy. Methodology Retrospective cohort study that included 2192 incident patients on peritoneal dialysis using the records of Baxter renal therapy centers in Colombia, during the period January 2016 and December 2017. The incidence rate and mortality rate were estimated. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine risk factors for technique failure. Results An incidence rate of failure of the technique of 8.8/100 person-years was estimated. The mortality rate was 7.9/100 person-years. The multivariate Cox regression model showed as risk factors arterial hypertension (HR: 1.59; 95% CI 1.01-2.48) and male sex (HR: 1.62; 95% CI 1.03-2.56); and the protective factors were Kt / V> 1.7 (HR: 0.41; CI95% 0.25-0.65) and increase 1 gr / dl of albumin (HR: 0.61; CI95% 0.43-0.87). Conclusions The incidence rate of technique failure in the first year of peritoneal dialysis in Colombia was low and mechanical dysfunction was the main cause. The risk factors associated with time to failure of the technique were arterial hypertension and male gender.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem worldwide. In Brazil, approximately 100,000 patients (January 2012) receive renal replacement therapy. Nevertheless, data on dialysis incidence in the Brazilian population are scarce. This study aims to analyze the incidence of patients starting dialysis therapy in São Paulo City, the largest Brazilian metropolis. METHOD: This cohort study analyzed data from 9,994 patients starting hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis funded by the Brazilian Public Health System during a 5-year period (2007-2011). Patient data for this study (recorded as electronic files) were obtained from the São Paulo City's Dialysis Regulatory Bureau, which regulates the allocation of patients requiring dialytic therapy. RESULTS: The dialysis incidence rates were 178, 174, 170, 185 and 188 per million population for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The incidence rates increased with age. Hypertension and diabetes were the main etiologies diagnosed. Hemodialysis was the chosen dialysis modality in the majority of patients (92.6%), whereas the percentage of patients referred for peritoneal dialysis decreased from 10.1% to 5.5%. CONCLUSION: The incidence of patients starting renal replacement therapy from 2007-2011 in São Paulo was stable but higher than the projected incidence for the entire country. The authors emphasize the need for further studies of the incidence of dialysis in the Brazilian population and for the creation of a Brazilian registry of dialysis patients, which would be a valuable tool for developing healthcare policies and renal replacement therapy strategies. .
