Key Points

  • To identify risk factors associated with multidrug-resistant organisms in peritonitis and their effects on outcomes.
  • Multicenter prospective observational design
  • Analysis of peritonitis episodes from the PDOPPS-Korea cohort
  • Evaluation of independent risk factors for MDRO infections
  • 14.0% of peritonitis episodes caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
  • Independent risk factors for MDRO-peritonitis included prior hospitalization, diabetes, and recurrent episodes.
  • Causative organism characteristics had a more significant impact on treatment outcomes than MDRO status.

Abstract

Nearly one in seven peritonitis episodes (14.0%) was caused by MDROs. Prior hospitalization, diabetes mellitus, and recurrent peritonitis were independent risk factors for MDRO-peritonitis. Regarding peritonitis cure, characteristics of causative organisms tended to have a greater impact than did MDRO status itself.
