ABSTRACT
The peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient population has grown rapidly in the past few years with concern over poor early outcomes. We report 6-month outcomes of incident PD patients in an experienced program with a strong focus on quality care. We analyzed data from an Institutional Review Board (IRB)- approved registry of all incident PD patients from January 1, 1991, to December 31, 2013, with follow-up to June 30, 2014. Time at risk began on the first day of training. Age, gender, race, diabetes mellitus (DM), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and albumin were collected at PD start. Exit-site infection (ESI), peritonitis, hospitalizations, and reasons for stopping PD were recorded. Multivariate analysis was done to examine outcomes.
