Aim: Recent reports suggest that immediate-start peritoneal dialysis (ISPD) initiated immediately after catheter insertion demonstrates better long-term outcomes. However, the survival rate of ISPD versus haemodialysis (HD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare survival rates between ISPD and HD using a matched-pair cohort.

Background: To prevent loss of peritoneal function caused by persistent abdominal inflammation, the guidelines recommend early extubation in patients with refractory peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis (rPDAP). In attempt to pinpoint high-risk patient cohorts that did not respond to treatment for refractory peritonitis, we created a model to predict the effectiveness of peritonitis treatment.
Methods: This observational cohort study included PD patients from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2020.
Among the recent advancements in Peritoneal Dialysis, the guidelines on the prevention and treatment of peritonitis, published in March 2022 by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD), are of particular importance. The ISPD periodically updates these guidelines, with the previous update dating back to 2016. Peritonitis, despite its decreased incidence, remains a significant challenge in PD as it continues to be a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and dropout from the modality.

Introduction: Different initial manifestations of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) may depend on the type of pathogenic organism. We investigated the association between the clinical characteristics of PDAP and susceptibility to vancomycin and investigated the possibility of using vancomycin monotherapy alone as an initial treatment regimen for some PDAP patients to avoid unnecessary antibiotic exposure and secondary infection.
Methods: Patients with culture-positive PDAP were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: peritonitis with only cloudy effluent (PDAP-cloudy) or with cloudy effluent, abdominal pain and/or fever (PDAP-multi).
