Why the study?
Left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with adverse outcomes among peritoneal dialysis patients, but its prognostic impact and relationship with baseline peritoneal transfer characteristics needed evaluation.
Does baseline left ventricular hypertrophy predict all-cause mortality in incident peritoneal dialysis patients?
Population
151 incident peritoneal dialysis patients
Comparison
Groups based on baseline dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio at 4 h (low, low average, high average, high)
Design
Multicentric retrospective cohort study
Follow-up
Median 33 months (range, 16–48 months)

Baseline LVH may aid risk stratification in incident PD patients; leaves open its link to peritoneal transfer characteristics.
Does baseline left ventricular hypertrophy predict all-cause mortality in incident peritoneal dialysis patients?
Baseline left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in incident peritoneal dialysis patients, and may be aggravated by fast peritoneal solute transport rates.
