Association of peritonitis with hemodialysis catheter dependence after modality switch.
This study characterized vascular access use after switch to hemodialysis and its effect on patient mortality. The researchers found that patients using a permanent vascular access 180 days after switching from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis had better adjusted survival during the ensuing year than those using a catheter. They concluded that among patients who switch, prior peritonitis is associated with a higher rate of persistent hemodialysis catheter use, which, in turn, is associated with lower patient survival.
