Brazilian Peritoneal Dialysis Multicenter Study (BRAZPD): from conception to execution of a national peritoneal
Abstract:
Systematic data collection of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy is critical to the epidemiological and clinical understanding of the treatment. These data may allow more rational use of economic resources and identify interventions to improve treatment and decrease the morbidity and mortality of these patients. The Brazilian Peritoneal Dialysis Multicenter Study (BRAZPD), an observational cohort study of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in Brazil, aimed to collect monthly demographics, clinical, laboratory and outcome data of PD patients treated in 114 dialysis clinics around the country, was started in December 2004 and ended in September 2011. BRAZPD has been generating solid and important information, which is very useful as a reality check of the PD therapy for all Brazilian PD centers.
