Infection Incidence and Risk Factors for Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients, Detudom Crown Prince Hospital

Abstract

Purpose : To study the incidence of infection and risk factors for peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Study design : Case-control study

Materials and Methods : The sample group is Patients with end-stage kidney disease receiving kidney replacement therapy with peritoneal dialysis. Detudom Crown Prince Hospital Aged 20 years and over, a total of 125 cases. Data were collected retrospectively from October 2022 - March 2023 by collecting clinical data. Infection rates the tools used include: General data recording form and Treatment data recording form. The IOC value is 0.84. The statistics used for data analysis are Descriptive statistics and comparing data between groups using the chi-square test.

Main findings : 125 of patients were receiving peritoneal dialysis treatment, with 20 infected persons, accounting for an infection rate of 0.20 times/case/year. And Patients with albumin values ​​than < 3.5g/dL higher risk than those with albumin values ​​less than ³ 3.5g/dL is 3.74.

Conclusion and recommendations : The research results should be used for development. Create a concrete model for preventing peritoneal infection in patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy with peritoneal dialysis so that it can be practically used to be effective in preventing further peritoneal infection.
