Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the outcome of peritoneal dialysis when "standard" or "biocompatible" solutions are used. Primary end-point is: peritonitis rate. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary Endpoints: · Patients using physiological solutions will have better preservation of residual kidney function. · Patients using physiological solutions will have smaller changes in peritoneal membrane function assessed by PET than control · Patients using physiological solutions will have reduced composite end-point of mortality and PD failure defined by transfer to HD · Patients using physiological solutions will have better quality of life assessed by SF-36 ;Primary end point(s): Primary aim is to compare peritonitis. However, some patients may have more than 1 episode | — |
