Key result
High anxiety and depression scores were an independent risk factor for peritoneal dialysis peritonitis in Chinese patients (OR 3.17; 95% CI 1.27-7.93; P=0.01).
Why the study?
Does high emotional distress (anxiety/depression) increase the risk of peritonitis and hospitalization in Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients?
Population
132 Chinese patients newly started on peritoneal dialysis (PD) between 1 September 2012 and 31 December 2014
Comparison
High score group on Hospital Anxiety Depression… vs Low score group on Hospital Anxiety Depression…
Design
Cohort

Supports screening for psychological distress in PD patients; leaves open whether treatment reduces peritonitis risk.

Anxiety and depression are common in Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients and are independently associated with a higher risk of peritonitis.
Chan et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in End stage renal failure on peritoneal dialysis (n=132). High anxiety and depression scores (HSG) vs. Low anxiety and depression scores (LSG) was evaluated on Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis (OR 3.17, 95% CI 1.27-7.93, p=0.01). High anxiety and depression scores were an independent risk factor for peritoneal dialysis peritonitis in Chinese patients (OR 3.17; 95% CI 1.27-7.93; P=0.01).
