Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All exit-site and tunnel infections (composite endpoint)12 months after exit-site formation (peritoneal dialysis initiation)

All exit-site and tunnel infections (composite endpoint)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
First occurrence of exit-site and tunnel infections with competing risks12 months after exit-site creation

The first occurrence of exit-site and tunnel infections within 12 months after exit-site creation (peritoneal dialysis initiation), with catheter removal not due to infection and death considered as competing risk factors.

Exit-site and tunnel infections within 30 days30 days after exit-site creation

Exit-site and tunnel infections occurring within 30 days after exit-site creation (peritoneal dialysis initiation).

All cases of peritonitis after catheter insertion

All cases of peritonitis occurring after catheter insertion.

Refractory or recurrent infections

Refractory or recurrent exit-site infections, tunnel infections, and peritonitis.

Colony formation and culture results12 months after exit-site creation or at catheter removal within 12 months

Presence of colony formation at the exit site and culture results at the end of observation (12 months after exit-site creation or at the time of catheter removal within 12 months).

Technique failure

Technique failure (transition to hemodialysis for more than 30 days, or death) *Note: Kidney transplantation is censored.

All exit-site and tunnel infections within 12 months12 months after exit-site creation

All exit-site and tunnel infections occurring within 12 months after exit-site creation (peritoneal dialysis initiation), with catheter removal not due to infection considered and death.

First occurrence of exit-site and tunnel infections within 12 months12 months after exit-site creation

The first occurrence of exit-site and tunnel infections within 12 months after exit-site creation (peritoneal dialysis initiation).

Catheter removal after insertion

Catheter removal after catheter insertion (regardless of the reason for removal).

Catheter removal due to infection or complications30 days after catheter insertion

Catheter removal due to infection, exit-site or tunnel infections requiring surgical intervention, subcutaneous cuff extrusion, and death within 30 days due to peritonitis after catheter insertion.

Catheter patency

Catheter patency.

Allergic reactions after catheter insertion

Allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis, eosinophilia, and eosinophilic peritonitis after catheter insertion.

Transition to hybrid therapy

Transition from peritoneal dialysis to hybrid therapy (combination of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis).
