Late attendance in peritoneal dialysis training predicts higher peritonitis risk. This behavioral measure helps identify patients needing more support to improve adherence and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Dialysis Therapy
  • Patient Adherence Research

Background:

  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) training adherence is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Behavioral compliance, like punctuality in training, is a measurable factor.
  • Understanding the impact of training non-adherence on PD patients is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical impact of failing to adhere to a PD training program.
  • To assess the relationship between late attendance during PD training and subsequent peritonitis risk.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 159 incident PD patients was studied.
  • Behavioral compliance was quantified by the percentage of late arrivals for scheduled training sessions.
  • Patients were categorized based on late attendance (>20% vs. <=20% of sessions).

Main Results:

  • 44% of patients (70/159) were late for >20% of training sessions.
  • Late attendance was associated with a significantly shorter peritonitis-free time (30.9 vs. 41.8 months).
  • Late attendance (>20%) independently predicted increased peritonitis risk (adjusted HR 1.56, P=0.04).

Conclusions:

  • Late attendance for PD training is a significant predictor of peritonitis.
  • This behavioral metric can identify patients at higher risk for poor adherence and adverse outcomes.
  • Monitoring training punctuality offers a practical strategy for early intervention in PD patients.
