Abstract
Introduction: Good peritoneal access is essential for performing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our PD unit uses a technique for pre-surgical marking of the peritoneal catheter. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of pre-surgical marking on complications related to post-PD catheter placement.
Materials and Method: This is a cohort study. We included patients over 18 who underwent peritoneal catheter placement in 2018, corresponding to the cohort without marking, and in 2022, corresponding to the cohort with marking. The variables analysed were age, sex, complications, and solutions to complications. Using logistic regression, we calculated the Odds Ratio (OR) of complications for the labelled group and its 95% confidence interval.
Results: 107 patients were analysed. The mean age was 65.6±12.2 years, and 73.8 % were male. Of the 56 patients without tagging, 33 suffered complications compared to 18 in the cohort with tagging. OR 0.36 (95% CI 0.16 to 0.79). 38.9% of complications had resolution in the tagging group vs 24.2% in the non-tagging group.
Conclusions: Patients with pre-surgical marking have a 64% lower risk of complications. This effect does not lose magnitude when adjusted for age and sex (OR 0.39 (95% CI 0.17-0.86). Complications in the marked cohort were resolved more frequently than in the unmarked cohort. We conclude that pre-marking the catheter reduces post-surgical complications.
