Project description:BackgroundGut dysbiosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients causes chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders which result in a series of complications, probably playing an important role in PD technique failure. The reduction in gut microbial diversity was a common feature of gut dysbiosis. The objective was to explore the relationship between gut microbial diversity and technique failure in PD patients.MethodsThe gut microbiota was analyzed by 16s ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify association between gut microbial diversity and technique failure in PD patients.ResultsIn this study, a total of 101 PD patients were enrolled. During a median follow-up of 38 months, we found that lower diversity was independently associated with a higher risk of technique failure (hazard ratio [HR], 2.682; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.319-5.456; p = 0.006). In addition, older age (HR, 1.034; 95% CI, 1.005-1.063; p = 0.020) and the history of diabetes (HR, 5.547; 95% CI, 2.218-13.876; p < 0.001) were also independent predictors for technique failure of PD patients. The prediction model constructed on the basis of three independent risk factors above performed well in predicting technique failure at 36 and 48 months (36 months: area under the curve [AUC] = 0.861; 95% CI, 0.836-0.886; 48 months: AUC = 0.815; 95% CI, 0.774-0.857).ConclusionGut microbial diversity was independently correlated with technique failure in PD patients, and some specific microbial taxa may serve as a potential therapeutic target for decreasing PD technique failure.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Our objective was to assess whether clusters of centers with similar peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter related practices were associated with differences in the risk of technique failure. METHODS:Patients on incident PD in French centers contributing to the French Language PD Registry from 2012 to 2016 were included in a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Centers with similar catheter cares practices were gathered in clusters in a hierarchical analysis. Clusters of centers associated with technique failure were evaluated using Cox and Fine and Gray models. A mixed effect Cox model was used to assess the influence of a center effect, as explained by the clusters. RESULTS:Data from 2727 catheters placed in 64 centers in France were analyzed. Five clusters of centers were identified. After adjustment for patient-level characteristics, the fourth cluster was associated with a lower risk of technique failure (cause specific-HR 0.70, 95%CI 0.54-0.90. The variance of the center effect decreased by 5% after adjusting for patient characteristics and by 26% after adjusting for patient characteristics and clusters of centers in the mixed effect Cox model. Favorable outcomes were observed in clusters with a greater proportion of community hospitals, where catheters were placed via open surgery, first dressing done 6 to 15 days after catheter placement, and local prophylactic antibiotics was applied on exit-site. CONCLUSION:Several patterns of PD catheter related practices have been identified in France, associated with differences in the risk of technique failure. Combinations of favorable practices are suggested in this study.

Project description:BackgroundTechnique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be due to patient- and procedure-related factors. With this analysis, we investigated the association of volume overload at the start and during the early phase of PD and technique failure.MethodsIn this observational, international cohort study with longitudinal follow-up of incident PD patients, technique failure was defined as either transfer to haemodialysis or death, and transplantation was considered as a competing risk. We explored parameters at baseline or within the first 6?months and the association with technique failure between 6 and 18?months, using a competing risk model.ResultsOut of 1092 patients of the complete cohort, 719 met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for this analysis. Being volume overloaded, either at baseline or Month 6, or at both time points, was associated with an increased risk of technique failure compared with the patient group that was euvolaemic at both time points. Undergoing treatment at a centre with a high proportion of PD patients was associated with a lower risk of technique failure.ConclusionsVolume overload at start of PD and/or at 6?months was associated with a higher risk of technique failure in the subsequent year. The risk was modified by centre characteristics, which varied among regions.

Project description:Unlike hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a continuous therapy and does not induce myocardial stunning. Yet, the death risk in HD and PD patients is similar. This study tested the hypothesis that serum potassium abnormalities contribute more to the death risk in PD patients than in HD patients.Data from patients treated in DaVita facilities between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006 (n=10,468 PD patients; n=111,651 HD patients) were used to determine association of serum potassium with mortality.PD patients were significantly more likely to have serum potassium < 4 mEq/L, with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.30 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 3.05, 3.56). There was a U-shaped relationship between time-averaged serum potassium and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality of PD patients, with adjusted hazards ratios of 1.51 for all-cause mortality for potassium < 3.5 mEq/L (95% CI, 1.29, 1.76) and 1.52 for potassium ? 5.5 mEq/L (95% CI, 1.32, 1.75). The population-attributable risks for all-cause mortality for serum potassium < 4.0 and ? 5.5 mEq/L were 3.6% and 1.9%, respectively, in PD patients, and 0.8% and 1.5%, respectively, in HD patients.Abnormalities in serum potassium contribute disproportionately to the high death risk in PD patients. This may, in part, account for the equivalent cardiac risk seen with the two therapies.

Project description:Background and objectivesThere is conflicting evidence comparing peritonitis rates among patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). This study aims to clarify the relationship between peritoneal dialysis (PD) modality (APD versus CAPD) and the risk of developing PD-associated peritonitis.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis study examined the association between PD modality (APD versus CAPD) and the risks, microbiology, and clinical outcomes of PD-associated peritonitis in 6959 incident Australian PD patients between October 1, 2003, and December 31, 2011, using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. Median follow-up time was 1.9 years.ResultsPatients receiving APD were younger (60 versus 64 years) and had fewer comorbidities. There was no association between PD modality and time to first peritonitis episode (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] for APD versus CAPD, 0.98; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.91 to 1.07; P=0.71). However, there was a lower hazard of developing Gram-positive peritonitis with APD than CAPD, which reached borderline significance (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.00; P=0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in the risk of hospitalizations (odds ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.35; P=0.22), but there was a nonsignificant higher likelihood of 30-day mortality (odds ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.88; P=0.11) at the time of the first episode of peritonitis for patients receiving APD. For all peritonitis episodes (including subsequent episodes of peritonitis), APD was associated with lower rates of culture-negative peritonitis (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.94; P=0.002) and higher rates of gram-negative peritonitis (IRR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.46; P=0.01).ConclusionsPD modality was not associated with a higher likelihood of developing peritonitis. However, APD was associated with a borderline reduction in the likelihood of a first episode of Gram-positive peritonitis compared with CAPD, and with lower rates of culture-negative peritonitis and higher rates of Gram-negative peritonitis. Peritonitis outcomes were comparable between both modalities.

Project description:BackgroundHigher serum β2-microglobulin (B2M) concentrations are associated with higher mortality in the general population, non-dialyzed chronic kidney disease patients and patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). However, this relationship among patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) has not been validated.MethodsWe collected baseline data for 3,011 prevalent PD patients from a nationwide dialysis registry in Japan at the end of 2010. Clinical outcomes for 9 years were then evaluated using the registry at the end of 2011 to 2019. All-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality was assessed using Cox regression analysis and competing-risks regression analysis, respectively. We used multiple imputation to deal with missing covariate data.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 87 months, 2,054 patients transferred to combined therapy with PD and HD or HD directly. A total of 3,011 patients, 1,235 (41.0%) died, including 437 patients (14.5%) from CV causes. Among them, 612 patients died after transfer to other dialysis modalities. Univariate analyses revealed no significant association between serum B2M and mortality, whereas higher serum B2M was independently associated with both all-cause and CV mortalities in adjusted models. However, the significant association between serum B2M and CV mortality disappeared in analysis treating serum B2M as a categorical variable. The effect of serum B2M on all-cause mortality was significantly higher among patients with higher urinary volume and a significant interaction was evident.ConclusionsUsing a large-scale registry, we found that serum B2M contributes tenuously but significantly to worse outcome and residual kidney function significantly affects this relationship. On the contrary, serum B2M per se had no predictive value for patient outcome in prevalent PD patients.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have revealed that increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with decreased mortality among hemodialysis patients. However, few studies have dealt with the association between BMI and mortality among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) and even fewer studies have focused on the Asian PD patients. The reported studies were often non-conclusive and some even yielded contradictory results. This paper, to our best knowledge, registers the first attempt to systematically review the current literature and summarize new results on the association between BMI and mortality among the Asian PD population.MethodA systematic literature review was performed in Medline and EMBASE to identify relevant cohort studies on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality stratified by BMI categories tailored to Asians among the Asian PD population. We meta-analyzed individual results based on a random effect model, strictly complying with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis.ResultsThe paper reviews seven cohort studies with a total of 3,610 Asian PD patients. Obese group (BMI = 25-29.9 kg/m2) was associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.46, 95%CI [1.07-1.98]; p = 0.02) and CVD mortality (HR = 2.01, 95%CI [1.14-3.54]; p = 0.02), compared to the normal group (BMI = 18.5-22.9 kg/m2). The underweight group (BMI<18.5kg/m2) was also associated with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 2.11, 95%CI [1.46-3.07]; p<0.001). No significant associations between BMI with all-cause mortality were found among the overweight group (23-24.9 kg/m2) (HR = 1.00, 95%CI [0.76-1.32]; p = 0.9). The association between BMI and CVD mortality risk among the underweight and overweight groups was found nonsignificant (p = 0.5 and 0.6 respectively).ConclusionObesity is associated with increased mortality in Asian PD patients. The study indicates a "V-shaped" trend in the association between BMI and mortality in these patients.

Project description:ObjectivesUric acid (UA) is the product of purine or nucleotide metabolism via the pathway of xanthine oxidase or xanthine dehydrogenase. Although epidemiological studies assessing the role of UA in cardiovascular disease or mortality have produced inconsistent results, the correlation between UA and technique failure in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) remains to be assessed.DesignA retrospective cohort study.SettingPatients starting CAPD between 2001 and 2009 in a single centre in Taiwan.ParticipantsA total of 371 patients on CAPD.Primary outcome measuresAll-cause and peritonitis-related technique failure.ResultsA cohort of 371 participants (43.9% male) was enrolled in the study with a mean age of 55.7±15.9 years at the start of CAPD. During the study period, technique failure occurred in 41 (34.4%) patients in the hyperuricaemia group compared with 49 (19.4%) in the normouricaemia group (p=0.003). In the multivariate Cox regression models, hyperuricaemia at baseline was significantly associated with both a higher risk of technique failure (HR 1.24; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.42, p=0.001) and peritonitis-related technique failure (HR 1.29; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.57, p=0.008).ConclusionsUA was shown to be associated with all-cause and peritonitis-related technique failure in our study. Patients on CAPD with hyperuricaemia should be closely monitored and strategies of increasing survival on CAPD should be taken.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic value of pulmonary hypertension at the start of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patient survival is unclear.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of incident patients who initiated PD therapy from January 2007 to December 2011, and followed up through June 2013. Pulmonary hypertension was defined as an estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) of ≥ 35 mm Hg using echocardiography. Clinical parameters and laboratory findings were compared between patients with and without pulmonary hypertension and a logistic regression model was elaborated. Patient outcomes (all-cause and cardiovascular mortality) were recorded during follow-up. Survival curves were constructed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the influences of pulmonary hypertension on outcomes were analyzed by Cox regression models.ResultsPulmonary hypertension was prevalent in 99 (16.0%) of the 618 patients studied. The independent risk factors for pulmonary hypertension were female (odds ratio [OR] = 2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29 - 3.46), left atrial diameter (OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.20), left ventricular ejection fraction (OR = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95 - 0.99), and serum sodium (OR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89 - 0.99). Over a median follow-up of 29.4 months, 93 patients (15.0%) died, 59.1% of them due to cardiovascular disease. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with pulmonary hypertension had worse overall rates of survival and cardiovascular death-free survival than those without pulmonary hypertension. After multivariate adjustment, pulmonary hypertension was independently associated with increased risk for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 2.10 (95% CI: 1.35 - 3.27) and 2.60 (95% CI: 1.48 - 4.56), respectively.ConclusionsThe prevalence of pulmonary hypertension at the start of PD was common and associated with increased risk of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in incident PD patients.

Project description:Changes in the DNA methylation (DNAm) landscape have been implicated in aging and cellular senescence. To unravel the role of specific DNAm patterns in late-life survival, we performed genome-wide methylation profiling in nonagenarians (n=111) and determined the performance of the methylomic predictors and conventional risk markers in a longitudinal setting. The survival model containing only the methylomic predictors was superior in terms of predictive accuracy compared with the models containing the conventional predictors body mass index and mini-mental state examination. At the 2.55-year follow-up, we identified 19 mortality-associated (false-discovery rate <0.5) CpG sites that mapped to genes functionally clustering around the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) complex. Interestingly, none of the mortality-associated CpG sites overlapped with the established aging-associated DNAm sites. Our results are in line with previous findings on the role of NF-κB in controlling animal life spans and demonstrate the key role of this complex in human longevity.
