Factores de riesgo de mortalidad en pacientes que presentaron peritonitis en diálisis peritoneal crónica en el Hospital Militar Central de Bogotá

Abstract

In Colombia, chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) is one of the most common forms of onset of chronic renal replacement therapy. Complications associated with therapy are low, however, peritonitis associated with CPD has been associated with subsequent change of treatment modality to chronic hemodialysis and with increased rates of hospitalization. We performed a control and case study in order to assess the mortality associated risk factors in patients who developed peritonitis in CPD between january 1, 2010 and december 31, 2012. Risk factors identified for development of peritonitis and mortality were not statistically significant. Cases of peritonitis attributed to caregiver fatigue had a higher risk of recurrence and relapse of peritonitis. Regarding the risk of mortality, we found that the probability for this outcome was 1.75 times higher in men, 1.6 times higer in male, 2.2 times higher in patients older than 75 years, 3.5 times higher in diabetics and 5.6 times higher in hypertensive patients.
