“…Moreover, 7 of 22 peritonitis episodes were culture negative, which indicated that our lab did not achieve the target no-growth rate of 20% recommended by the ISPD (4). A no-growth rate below this target has also been reported by U.S. and Korean authors (17,30). It is possible that our tests were not sensitive enough to detect the gram-positive organisms.…”

“…A review of registry data and published literature demonstrates that peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique survival rates in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) are lower than in other parts of the world (Table 1). 1–27 Moreover, the median technique survival in Australia (1.8 years, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.6–1.9 years) is significantly lower than that observed in New Zealand (NZ) (2.4 years, 95% CI 2.1–2.6 years) (Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry, unpubl. data, 2007).…”

Peritoneal dialysis practice in Australia and New Zealand: A call to action

et al. 2010

Peritoneal dialysis technique survival in Australia and New Zealand is lower than in other parts of the world. More than two-thirds of technique failures are related to infective complications (predominantly peritonitis) and 'social reasons'. Practice patterns vary widely and more than one-third of peritoneal dialysis units do not meet the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis minimum accepted peritonitis rate. In many cases, poor peritonitis outcomes reflect significant deviations from international guidelines. In this paper we propose a series of practical recommendations to improve outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients through appropriate patient selection, prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications, investigation of social causes of technique failure and a greater focus on patient education and clinical governance.

“…Several twin-bag systems are commercially available and each has minor operating differences. These minor variations in connectology can potentially translate into marked differences in peritonitis rates (117,118).…”
