Abstract
- Background and Aims The knowledge of the impact of peritoneal dialysis (PD) program in terms of hospitalization rate can provide solid guidance for nephrologists for management purpose. In a historical cohort of adult PD patients, we examined the hospitalization rates and causes of hospital admissions. Method One hundred ninety-one consecutive PD patients between January 1st 2000 to December 31st 2018 were enrolled. The maximum follow up was 194 months. Their mean age was 65±15 years, 110 were males, 56 had co-morbidities and 67 were diabetics. The median PD vintage was 35 months (interquartile range 20-63 months). Results During the follow-up, 163 out of 191 patients (85%) underwent hospital admission for a total of 356 hospitalizations [57 hospitalizations per 100-person-years]. The most frequent cause of admission was infection (20 hospitalizations per 100-person-years) mainly due to peritonitis (12 hospitalizations per 100-person-years) followed by cardiovascular diseases (17 hospitalizations per 100-person-years). Hospitalizations due to miscellaneous causes were 21 per 100-person-years. In the whole group, high NYHA score [Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR): 1.52, 95%CI 1.21-1.89, P65 years) (IRR 1.26, 95%CI 1.02-1.56, P=0.03) and were associated to all-cause hospitalizations. In an analysis by hospitalization type, the factors related to admission for infection diseases was malnutrition (IRR: 1.91, 95%CI 1.16-3.03, P=0.005) and high NYHA score (IRR: 1.52, 95%CI 1.03-2.22, P=0.02). As expected, hospitalizations due to cardiovascular causes were strongly related to older age (>65 years) (IRR 2.02, 95%CI 1.35-3.03, P Conclusion Analyzing the causes and the rate of hospitalization in PD patients allows more accurate management of these high risk category of patients and contributes to a more efficient organization of a renal department.
