RODRIGUEZ-GARCIA, Adán. Prevalence of peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis in the Central Military Hospital. Rev. sanid. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.77, n.2, e03.  Epub 29-Sep-2023. ISSN 0301-696X.  https://doi.org/10.56443/rsm.v77i2.307.

The definition of the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is the decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, for 3 or more months, accompanied by structural or functional abnormalities. Mexico reports an incidence of 467/1,000,000 cases of CKD. The most used dialysis modality is peritoneal dialysis, and the most common complication is peritonitis. We obtained the prevalence of peritonitis in patients with peritoneal dialysis in HCM in 2021, to determine the comorbidities associated with CKD, the difference between automated and continuous ambulatory dialysis, its outcomes, and overall mortality. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Patients with peritoneal dialysis attended during 2021 in HCM nephrology. Data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to determine the prevalence of peritonitis and the differences between the modality of peritoneal dialysis and the episodes of peritonitis. The prevalence of peritonitis was 0.2625 peritonitis/patient/year, and the comorbidities were hypertension (70.5%) and diabetes mellitus (65.19%), between the groups of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis there was no difference, and the overall mortality was 6.48%. Peritonitis is the main complication in peritoneal dialysis, the prevalence of HCM is below the country and world average of 26.25%. International Guidelines recommend maintaining a prevalence below 0.5 episodes of peritonitis per patient per year.
