RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patient and technique survival, and to analyze factors influencing survival in a large Thai CAPD program. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A single center, retrospective, observational cohort study was carried out to examine the baseline factors affecting patient and technique survival. RESULTS: From January 1995 to December 2005, 322 incident CAPD patients were recruited for study. One hundred and thirteen patients (35.1%) died during the study period of 7,706 patient-months. Median patient survival time was 46.4 months. The major cause of death was related to infection. In multivariate analysis, only age at enrollment and baseline serum albumin were strong risk factors of death. Median technique survival was 41.2 months. The major cause of technique failure was peritoneal dialysis related infection. History of peritonitis, baseline serum albumin, and dialysis commencement in recent era were technique failure predictors. A neutral effect of self and caregiver performer was observed in the present study. CONCLUSION: Patient survival in the presented institute is similar to that reported in Western countries. Age and baseline serum albumin were the strongest predictors of death.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Peritonitis is a major complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Information on the specific risk of peritonitis is important in reducing this common complication. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A single center retrospective cohort study was done to assess time to first peritonitis event and risk factors in Thai CAPD population. RESULTS: Between January 1995 and December 2005, 322 incident CAPD patients were recruited for the present study. During the study period of 4,281 patient-months, 198 episodes of first peritonitis were recorded. The median peritonitis-free time was 13.7 months. A Cox regression model showed that an increase in level of baseline albumin and hematocrit by 1 g/dL and 1% would decrease risk of peritonitis by 27% and 3%, respectively (hazard ratio (95%CI): 0.73 (0.59-0.91) and 0.97 (0.94-1.00)). A neutral effect of self and caregiver performer was observed in the present study. CONCLUSION: The present study confirmed the susceptibility of hypoalbuminemia and anemia to peritonitis. Awareness of particular risk groups should be achieved to prevent peritonitis.
