Quality of Life in Automated and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract: The clinical and social characteristics of the 64 APD and 486 CAPD patients were slightly different at baseline. In the crude analysis, the pattern of the mental summary score differed between the modalities (p = 0.03, adjusted p = 0.06), because of a different pattern for role function emotional (p = 0.03, adjusted p = 0.05). The pattern of the physical summary score was not different between the groups. Scores on dialysis staff encouragement had a different pattern over time (p = 0.01), because of an inequal… Show more

“…Third, information about dialysis adequacy or additional dialysis modalities such as hemodiafiltration or automated PD was not collected in our study. However, previous studies did not show significant differences between automated PD and continuous ambulatory PD, or between hemodiafiltration and HD [3842]. Dialysis adequacy also influences clinical outcomes.…”

“…Such temporal change is not only related to formal clinical indications (e.g. high transporters) but also to a common belief, although not confirmed in some studies, of a better quality of life (15)(16)(17).…”

“…This is a matter of concern as CAPD and APD treatments are complementary in terms of quality of life [28,[41][42][43]; also, they are both offered to assisted PD patients. The fact that nurse-assisted PD is associated with a lower risk of transfer to HD must be considered when assistance modality is presented to end-stage renal disease patients, and should be reconsidered during the course of PD.…”
