This study aims to evaluate and compare inflammatory indices from complete blood counts to predict peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Retrospective cohort study enrolling 2,036 PD patients from 10 centers.
Analyzed associations between inflammatory markers and peritonitis risk using restricted cubic splines.
Determined optimal cut-offs and assessed survival differences using Kaplan-Meier curves.
147 patients (7.22%) developed peritonitis during follow-up.
Adjusted hazard ratios for risk were 2.004 (PIV), 2.144 (SII), and 2.063 (PLR).
C-indices showed moderate discriminative ability: 0.67 (PIV), 0.70 (SII), and 0.70 (PLR).
