Effectiveness of a Customized Peritoneal Dialysis Training Program in Reducing Infection and Dropout Rates: Insights From a Singapore Hospital.

Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an essential home-based treatment for end-stage kidney disease, known for enhancing patients' quality of life and being more cost-effective compared to hemodialysis. However, in Singapore, PD education lacks of standardization, with each unit adopting varied methods based on their own experiences and resources. To address this, our hospital developed a tailored four-day PD training program guided by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis guidelines, adapted to meet local needs and resource availability.
