Abstract

Resumen: Antecedentes: Este estudio se centra en la principal complicación asociada a diálisis peritoneal, la peritonitis. Su relevancia deriva de su elevada morbilidad, el efecto negativo que provoca en el peritoneo como membrana de diálisis y de coste económico que ocasiona. Métodos: Estudio observacional de cohortes, analítico, no intervencionista, cuyo objetivo principal es el análisis de las peritonitis en pacientes en diálisis peritoneal, en Andalucía en el periodo: 1 de enero de 1999 a 31 de diciembre de 2017, con un total de 2.904 peritonitis. La base de datos utilizada es la del Sistema de Información de la Coordinación Autonómica de Trasplantes de Andalucía (SICATA). Objetivos: Conocer la evolución de la tasa de peritonitis en nuestra comunidad, analizar datos descriptivos relacionados con los pacientes y las peritonitis, conocer la evolución de estas complicaciones infecciosas y analizar los factores que influyen en estas peritonitis y en su evolución: germen, hospitalización y fecha. Resultados: La tasa de peritonitis ha disminuido progresivamente durante el periodo de estudio desde 0,7 peritonitis por paciente en 1999 hasta 0,33 al final del periodo. La mayoría de las infecciones se tratan de manera ambulatoria (72,5%). Los gérmenes más frecuentes fueron los grampositivos (55,9%), y entre ellos, los estafilococos coagulasa negativos (28,1%). La mayoría de las peritonitis evolucionan a la curación (77,8%). Los factores que influyen de manera significativa en la necesidad de hospitalización y en la evolución de la peritonitis son el germen causal y la presencia de infección del orificio de salida asociado. Conclusiones: En nuestra población, la tasa de peritonitis ha disminuido progresivamente durante el periodo de estudio, alcanzando las recomendaciones de las guías. Abstract: Background: This study focuses on the main complication associated with peritoneal dialysis, peritonitis. Its relevance derives from its high morbidity, the negative effect it has on the peritoneum as a dialysis membrane and its financial cost. Methods: Analytical, non-interventional, observational cohort study, whose main objective is the analysis of peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis in Andalusia from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2017, with a total of 2,904 peritonitis cases. The database used is the Andalusian Autonomous Transplant Coordination Information System (SICATA). Objectives: To ascertain how the rate of peritonitis is evolving in our community, analyse descriptive data pertaining to patients and peritonitis, ascertain the course of these infectious complications and analyse the factors that influence these cases of peritonitis and their outcomes: germ, hospitalisation and date. Results: The rate of peritonitis decreased progressively during the study period, from 0.7 peritonitis per patient in 1999 to 0.33 at the end of the period. Most infections were treated on an outpatient basis (72.5%). The most common germs were Gram-positive (55.9%), including coagulase-negative staphylococci (28.1%). Most cases of peritonitis progressed to healing (77.8%). The factors that significantly influence the need for hospitalisation and peritonitis progression were the causative germ and associated exit site infection. Conclusions: In our population, the rate of peritonitis decreased progressively during the study period, meeting guideline recommendations.

Abstract

Background There is scarce evidence on the fourth dose of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccines in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We evaluated the humoral response and effectivity of the fourth dose in the CKD spectrum: non-dialysis CKD (ND-CKD), haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Methods This is a prespecified analysis of the prospective, observational, multicentric SENCOVAC study. In patients with CKD who had received a complete initial vaccination and one or two boosters and had anti-Spike antibody determinations 6 and 12 months after the initial vaccination, we analysed factors associated with persistent negative humoral response and higher anti-Spike antibody titres as well as the efficacy of vaccination on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity. Results Of 2186 patients (18% KT, 8% PD, 69% HD and 5% ND-CKD), 30% had received a fourth dose. The fourth dose increased anti-Spike antibody titres in HD (P = .001) and ND-CKD (P = .014) patients and seroconverted 72% of previously negative patients. Higher anti-Spike antibody titres at 12 months were independently associated with repeated exposure to antigen (fourth dose, previous breakthrough infections), previous anti-Spike antibody titres and not being a KT recipient. Breakthrough COVID-19 was registered in 137 (6%) patients, 5% of whom required admission. Admitted patients had prior titres Conclusions A fourth vaccine dose increased anti-Spike antibody titres or seroconverted many CKD patients, but those with the highest need for a vaccine booster (i.e. those with lower pre-booster antibody titres or KT recipients) derived the least benefit in terms of antibody titres. Admission for breakthrough COVID-19 was associated with low anti-Spike antibody titres.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The use of remote monitoring programs in peritoneal dialysis (RMAPD) has been related to favorable clinical events, as well as possible reductions in healthcare costs, although the medical literature is scarce. METHOD Prospective, multicenter, longitudinal 2-year study of cohorts to evaluate the number of significant interventions: face-to-face consultations and unscheduled teleconsultations, number of kilometers (km) saved, as well as clinical consequences (hospitalizations, peritonitis) in a cohort of patients in automated peritoneal dialysis with and without exposure to RMAPD. The data are presented in terms of mean, standard deviation and percentage. RESULTS The results of the first 3 months of analysis are shown, in descriptive terms, of incident patients in RMAPD versus No RMAPD, corresponding to 10 Spanish centers participating in the study. The data are shown in the Tables 1 and 2. CONCLUSION In this first quarterly exploratory analysis, despite its limitations, it is evident: Although these results are promising, they still need to be confirmed during the follow-up of the patients over time and checked whether they are also related to other clinical and therapy parameters: time in therapy, technique abandonment rate, dialysis dose, peritonitis rate, hospitalizations and quality of life of the patient.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Telemonitoring (RM), applied in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), has shown both clinical and quality of life (QoL) benefits, although current evidence is limited. The aim of this study is to analyse the number of significant interventions in a 3-month period (unscheduled consultations and teleconsultations, ) as well as clinical consequences (hospitalizations) and QoL, measured by the EuroQol-5D questionnaire in cohort of RMAPD patients. METHOD Retrospective multicenter exploratory cohort study analysed three cohorts of patients in RMAPD: incident (3 months in technique) versus prevalent with 6 months to 1 year in technique versus prevalent with more than 1 year in technique. Both the baseline characteristics of the patients and the number of significant interventions in a 3-month period were analysed: (unscheduled consultations and teleconsultations,) as well as clinical consequences (hospitalizations) and QoL, measured by the EuroQol-5D questionnaire. The variables have been expressed as mean and standard deviation, as well as an ANOVA test to make comparisons between variables, as well as non-parametric for non-normal variables. RESULTS Analysis of 100 patients in RMAPD from 10 different Spanish centers, classified as: incident (group 0), prevalent 6 months to 1 year (group 1), prevalent >1 year (group 2), the variables analysed are presented in the form of table (Fig. 1): From the results analysed, no significant differences were found between the variables analysed, except in the number of unscheduled teleconsultations, significantly higher in group 0 compared to group 2 (P Interestingly, the patients manifested a good perceived QoL in all groups (M: 0.88, EUROQol-5D). CONCLUSION Despite the limitations of this study, the results allow us to consider telemonitoring as a useful technique in patients in APD since

Abstract

Background: Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology has been a rising field in recent years worldwide. Catheter insertion, renal biopsy, renal ultrasound, and peritoneal dialysis catheter or permanent dialysis catheter insertion are vital to our specialty. At present, many of these procedures are delegated to other specialties, generating long waiting lists and limiting diagnosis and treatment. Methods: An online survey was emailed to all Nephrology departments in Spain. One survey response was allowed per center. Results: Of 195 Nephrology departments, 70 responded (35.8%). Of them, 72.3% (52) had ultrasound equipment, 77.1% insert temporary jugular catheters, and 92.8% femoral. Up to 75.7% (53 centers) perform native renal biopsies, of which 35.8% (19) are real-time ultrasound guided by nephrologists. Transplant kidney biopsies are done in 26 centers, of which 46.1% (12) by nephrologists. Tunneled hemodialysis catheters are inserted in 27 centers (38.5%), peritoneal catheter insertion in 18 (31.6%), and only 2 centers (2.8%) perform arteriovenous fistulae angioplasty. In terms of ultrasound imaging, 20 centers (28.5%) do native renal ultrasound and 16 (22.8%) transplanted kidneys. Of all units 71.4% offer carotid ultrasound to evaluate cardiovascular risk, only in 15 centers (21%) by nephrologists. AVF ultrasound scanning is done in 55.7% (39). Conclusion: Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology is slowly spreading in Spain. It includes basic techniques to our specialty, allowing nephrologists to be more independent, efficient, and reducing waiting times and costs, overall improving patient care. Nowadays, more nephrologists aim to perform them. Therefore, appropriate training on different techniques should be warranted, implementing an official certification and teaching programs.
