This scoping review maps research on predictive models for peritoneal dialysis outcomes. It aims to identify validated tools for personalized patient care in chronic kidney disease management.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology and Clinical Epidemiology
- Development and validation of predictive models for patient outcomes
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 840 million globally; peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a key home-based therapy.
- Personalized prognosis is crucial as individual patient outcomes may favor specific dialysis modalities.
- Current clinical practice often relies on experience over evidence-based prediction models, necessitating an evaluation of available tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically map existing research on predictive models for clinical and patient-reported outcomes in peritoneal dialysis.
- To identify and evaluate the development, validation, and clinical applicability of these predictive models.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review methodology will be employed, including extensive database searches (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus) and gray literature.
- Two independent reviewers will screen titles/abstracts and assess full texts against predefined eligibility criteria.
- Data extraction and synthesis will utilize established frameworks (CHARMS, TRIPOD+AI, PROBAST, PROGRESS-Plus, SON-PD) for a descriptive quantitative and narrative analysis.
Main Results:
- The review will identify and categorize predictive models for PD-relevant outcomes.
- It will assess the validation status, clinical accessibility, and identify gaps in research and population representation.
- Outcome mapping and predictor database development will be key components of the synthesis.
Conclusions:
- This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of predictive models in peritoneal dialysis.
- It aims to guide the clinical implementation of validated tools to enhance personalized patient care and decision-making in CKD management.
- Identifying research gaps will inform future development of robust prediction models for peritoneal dialysis patients.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
