About this study

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: The aims of this study were to evaluate patient and technique survival rates, investigate peritonitis rates and evaluate factors affecting mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients over a period of 20 years at Istanbul Faculty of Medicine Peritoneal Dialysis Unit.

METHODS: Two hundred seventy seven patients have received PD as renal replacement therapy (RRT) over a period of 20 years. After exclusion of patients with follow-up shorter than 3 months and patients whose data were not available, 250 patients were examined retrospectively. Data for sex, age, primary disease, comorbidities, follow up duration, cause of death, and cause of technique failure were collected from medical records.

Read the detailed description

Material and Method All patients 18 years of age and older who were treated with PD at the Istanbul Medical Faculty from October 1994 to October 2014 were included in the study. Patients exclude which follow-up shorter than 3 months and patients whose data were not available. From the day PD was started, all peritonitis data were collected prospectively in a large database. The data include Socio-demographic data, type of peritoneal dialysis, starting time and duration of every peritonitis episode, causative organisms and outcome of the peritonitis, which could be cure, change of PD catheter, transfer to hemodialysis, or death. The time in months from PD start to the first episode of peritonitis was computed.

Primary kidney disease was classified into 9 main categories according to the codes of the European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association. Peritonitis in PD was defined as a peritoneal dialysate effluent containing >100 white blood cells/mL, of which >50% were polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Patients with two or more pathogens isolated from the cultures in a peritonitis episode were considered to have polymicrobial peritonitis. A relapse of peritonitis was defined when the same organism or a culture-negative peritonitis episode was identified within 4 weeks of completing appropriate antibiotic therapy for a previous episode.

Socio-demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics, medium (standard deviation for continuous variables) or median (25th and 75th percentages); number for categorical variables (rate) were calculated. Cox regression analysis applied to examine the impact of demographic and clinical features of periton dialysis patients . Chi-square test for categorical variables used. Univariate and multivariate analyzes calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney test method. P-value was <0.05 for as long as it is considered statistically significant. The evaluation of the results obtained using SPSS 21.0 software.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Therapeutic Procedural Complication, run by Istanbul University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient survival (time frame: 5 - 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2016.
