Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is a significant source of morbidity, dialysis-related treatment costs, and is the leading cause of permanent transfer to hemodialysis (HD). Here, we sought to understand if the risks of peritonitis and peritonitis-related outcomes differ by country and to identify patient and clinic/facility predictors of peritonitis.
