Early-Onset Peritonitis and Outcomes of Peritoneal Dialysis: A Cohort Study with Data from the RDPLF

EOP is associated with a greater risk of PD cessation due to transfer to haemodialysis, especially within the first year after peritonitis occurrence, and with a persistent effect in the long term. Reducing or delaying EOP, notably through its systematic reporting and monitoring as a KPI to help in the implementation of QIPs, could have a favourable impact on patient-level outcomes.
