- This observational study evaluated the outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in Japan to see if they align with the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis guidelines.
- The study tracked 409 adult patients who underwent PD catheter placement, finding a low rate of catheter patency failure (6.2%) and a technique failure rate of 15.3% after 12 months.
- Factors influencing technique failure included lower serum albumin levels and type of catheter used, while diabetes increased the risk of perioperative infections; however, overall complications met ISPD audit standards.
