Abstract
Objective To study the prevalence and associated factors of peritoneal dialysis-related staphylococcus peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.Methods One hundred and ninty-two CAPD cases with peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in our peritoneal dialysis (PD) centers were retrospectively analyzed.The associated factors of peritoneal dialysis-related staphylococcus peritonitis were investigated through Logistic regression analysis.Results The prevalence of peritoneal dialysis-related staphylococcus peritonitis was 16(8.3％).The major strain was staphylococcus spidermidis (50.0％,8/16),and the cure rate was 75.0％ (12/16).One case died.Among those with peritoneal dialysis-related staphylococcus peritonitis,older age (OR =1.35,95％ CI 1.16-7.68,P =0.026),diabetes (OR =3.34,95％ CI 1.90-6.54,P ＜ 0.001),lower hemoglobin (OR =1.68,95％ CI 1.21-6.48,P =0.022) and lower albumin (OR =1.04,95％ CI 1.02-1.07,P =0.036) were independently associated with increased risk of peritoneal dialysis-related staphylococcus peritonitis.Conclusions Staphylococcus epidermidis peritonitis has higher incidence rate in CAPD patients.Older age,diabetes,lower hemoglobin and lower albumin are independently associated with increased risk of peritoneal dialysisrelated staphylococcus peritonitis.
