Prevalence, microbiology, and outcome of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients in vietnam: a multicenter study
The prevalence of peritonitis among PD patients in Vietnam increased from 2019 to 2021. Lower literacy positively correlated with peritonitis, regardless of the type of PD. The high prevalence of culture-negative peritonitis cases indicated gaps in diagnostic procedures or the presence of unusual pathogens. These outcomes highlight the need for improved education, diagnostic practices, and interventions to reduce peritonitis risks and enhance patient care in PD programs in Vietnam.
