Evolution of peritoneal dialysis technique failure from 2002 to 2017 in France. RDPLF data

English AbstractIn France, 6 to 7 % of patients with end stage renal failure are treated by peritoneal dialysis (1). Despite the annual augmentation of treated patients, it’s still under public health goal. Peritoneal dialysis technique failure is one restraint of technique growth in France. The RDPLF collect data about technique survival and infections since 1986. Technique failure width is on restraint of PD growth. We used available data to describe trends in the different causes of technique failure to identify areas with feasible improvement to increase technical survival. Methods: This retrospective study includes public data from RDPLF over the 2002-2017 period.Results: More than 30% of treated patients experience technique failure each year and transfer to hemodialysis count for 33%. Main causes of HD transfer are inadequate dialysis, peritonitis, catheter dysfunction and fluid inadequacy. The study of technique failure causes trends shows a decreased mortality form 51% in 2002 to 38% in 2017 (p
