Implication

Supports closer cardiovascular surveillance in pediatric peritoneal dialysis; leaves open causal links and intervention effects.

Structured PICO

P
Population
59 pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients (mean age 14.2 +/- 4.5 years) and 36 healthy subjects
C
Comparator
36 healthy subjects
O
Outcome
Echocardiographic parameters (left ventricular mass index, relative wall thickness, myocardial performance index) and cardiovascular risk markers (lipid/lipoproteins, homocysteine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, carotid intima-media thickness)surrogate

Pediatric patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis exhibit significant structural and functional cardiac abnormalities and elevated atherosclerotic risk factors, highlighting the need for targeted cardiovascular risk management.
