Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) enables people to have a home-based therapy, permitting greater autonomy for individuals along with enhanced treatment satisfaction compared with in-center dialysis care. The burden of treatment on PD, however, remains considerable and underpins the need for person-centered care. This reflects the need to address the patient as a person with needs and preferences beyond just the medical perspective. Shared decision making is central to the recent International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis recommendations for prescribing PD, balancing the potential benefits of PD on patient well-being with the burden associated with treatment. This review considers the role of high-quality goal-directed prescribing, incremental dialysis, and remote patient monitoring in reducing the burden of dialysis, including an approach to implementing incremental PD. Although patient-related outcomes are important in assessing the response to treatment and, particularly life participation, the corollary of dialysis burden, there are no clear routes to the clinical implementation of patient-related outcome measures. Delivering person-centered care is dependent on treating people both as individuals and as equal partners in their care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis provides several benefits for patients and should be offered as first line kidney replacement therapy, particularly for fragile patients. Limitation to self-care drove assisted peritoneal dialysis to evolve from family-based care to institutional programs, with specialized care givers. Some European countries have mastered this, while others are still bound by the availability of a volunteer to become responsible for treatment. METHODS A group of leading nephrologists from 13 European countries integrated real-life application of such therapy, highlighting barriers, lessons learned and practical solutions. The objective of this work is to share and summarize several different approaches, with their intrinsic difficulties and solutions, which might helpperitoneal dialysis units to develop and offer assisted peritoneal dialysis. RESULTS Assisted peritoneal dialysis does not mean 4 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis exchanges, 7 days/week, nor does it exclude cycler. Many different prescriptions might work for our patients. Tailoring PD prescription to residual kidney function, thereby maintaining small solute clearance, reduces dialysis burden and is associated with higher technique survival. Assisted peritoneal dialysis does not mean assistance will be needed permanently, it can be a transitional stage towards individual or caregiver autonomy. Private care agencies can be used to provide assistance; other options may involve implementing PD training programs for the staff of nursing homes or convalescence units. Social partners may be interested in participating in smaller initiatives or for limited time periods. CONCLUSION Assisted peritoneal dialysis is a valid technique, which should be expanded. In countries without structural models of assisted peritoneal dialysis, active involvement by the nephrologist is needed in order for it to become a reality.

Abstract
Health inequity refers to the existence of unnecessary and unfair differences in the ability of an individual or community to achieve optimal health and access appropriate care. Kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, are the epitome of health inequity. Kidney disease risk and outcomes are strongly associated with inequities that occur across the entire clinical course of disease. Insufficient investment across the spectrum of kidney health and kidney care is a fundamental source of inequity. In addition, social and structural inequities, including inequities in access to primary health care, education and preventative strategies, are major risk factors for, and contribute to, poorer outcomes for individuals living with kidney diseases. Access to affordable kidney care is also highly inequitable, resulting in financial hardship and catastrophic health expenditure for the most vulnerable. Solutions to these injustices require leadership and political will. The nephrology community has an important role in advocacy and in identifying and implementing solutions to dismantle inequities that affect kidney health.

Abstract
Individuals with kidney failure undergoing maintenance dialysis frequently report a high symptom burden that can interfere with functioning and diminish life satisfaction. Until recently, the focus of nephrology care for dialysis patients has been related primarily to numerical targets for laboratory measures, and outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and mortality. Routine symptom assessment is not universal or standardized in dialysis care. Even when symptoms are identified, treatment options are limited and are initiated infrequently, in part because of a paucity of evidence in the dialysis population and the complexities of medication interactions in kidney failure. In May of 2022, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) held a Controversies Conference-Symptom-Based Complications in Dialysis-to identify the optimal means for diagnosing and managing symptom-based complications in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis. Participants included patients, physicians, behavioral therapists, nurses, pharmacists, and clinical researchers. They outlined foundational principles and consensus points related to identifying and addressing symptoms experienced by patients undergoing dialysis and described gaps in the knowledge base and priorities for research. Healthcare delivery and education systems have a responsibility to provide individualized symptom assessment and management. Nephrology teams should take the lead in symptom management, although this does not necessarily mean taking ownership of all aspects of care. Even when options for clinical response are limited, clinicians should focus on acknowledging, prioritizing, and managing symptoms that are most important to individual patients. A recognized factor in the initiation and implementation of improvements in symptom assessment and management is that they will be based on locally existing needs and resources.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Greater prognostic understanding is associated with higher quality care at the end of life. We undertook a scoping review to explore how long dialysis recipients expect to live. Study Design Scoping Review. Setting & Study Populations People with kidney failure over 18 years old. Search Strategy & Sources Studies were identified by searching Medline, Embase, APA PsycINFO, HMIC, and ProQuest database for terms related to "life expectancy", "self-estimated", and "end stage kidney disease". Data Extraction Search strategies reported 349 unique, potentially eligible studies, with 8 studies meeting the inclusion criteria after screening. Results Significant mismatches between dialysis recipients and their health care provider's estimations of prognosis were reported, with patients predicting significantly higher life expectancies than health care professionals and almost no agreement between patient and nephrologist's estimates of 1-year survival. Documented cognitive impairment did not affect 1-year or 5-year prognosis estimates, nor did gender, age, time on dialysis, or discussing perceived life expectancy. Dialysis recipients who thought they were on the transplant list or who self-identified as African American reported higher perceived life expectancy, whereas people who were 75 years or older, or with fair or poor self-reported health status reported a lower perceived life expectancy. Those with a lower perceived life expectancy preferred care focusing on relieving pain and discomfort, whereas people who thought they had a higher chance of survival were significantly more likely to prefer life-extending care. Limitations There is a marked paucity of research in this area, with most studies conducted in North American cohorts. Conclusions Optimistic patient prognostic expectations persist in dialysis recipients. Given the effects of perceived life expectancy on treatment choices and subsequent quality of life, it is important that transparent discussions regarding prognosis are conducted with people receiving dialysis and their families. Plain-Language Summary Understanding illness severity and prognosis allows people to make decisions and prioritize areas of their lives that are important to them. We undertook a scoping review to explore how long dialysis recipients expect to live. We found significant mismatches between the perceived life expectancy of people treated with dialysis and their health care providers. Perceived life expectancy influenced treatment choices; thus, those who thought they would die sooner prioritized care focusing on relieving pain and discomfort. Those who thought they had a higher chance of survival were more likely to prefer life-extending care (with potential effects on quality of life). It is important to have frank discussions about prognosis with people receiving dialysis, to empower individuals and help them make informed decisions about their care.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter-related infections are important risk factors for catheter loss and peritonitis. The 2023 updated recommendations have revised and clarified definitions and classifications of exit site infection and tunnel infection. A new target for the overall exit site infection rate should be no more than 0.40 episodes per year at risk. The recommendation about topical antibiotic cream or ointment to catheter exit site has been downgraded. New recommendations include clarified suggestion of exit site dressing cover and updated antibiotic treatment duration with emphasis on early clinical monitoring to ascertain duration of therapy. In addition to catheter removal and reinsertion, other catheter interventions including external cuff removal or shaving, and exit site relocation are suggested.

Abstract
Home dialysis modalities (home hemodialysis [HD] and peritoneal dialysis [PD]) are associated with greater patient autonomy and treatment satisfaction compared with in-center modalities, yet the level of home-dialysis use worldwide is low. Reasons for limited utilization are context-dependent, informed by local resources, dialysis costs, access to healthcare, health system policies, provider bias or preferences, cultural beliefs, individual lifestyle concerns, potential care-partner time, and financial burdens. In May 2021, KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) convened a controversies conference on home dialysis, focusing on how modality choice and distribution are determined and strategies to expand home-dialysis use. Participants recognized that expanding use of home dialysis within a given health system requires alignment of policy, fiscal resources, organizational structure, provider incentives, and accountability. Clinical outcomes across all dialysis modalities are largely similar, but for specific clinical measures, one modality may have advantages over another. Therefore, choice among available modalities is preference-sensitive, with consideration of quality of life, life goals, clinical characteristics, family or care-partner support, and living environment. Ideally, individuals, their care-partners, and their healthcare teams will employ shared decision-making in assessing initial and subsequent kidney failure treatment options. To meet this goal, iterative, high-quality education and support for healthcare professionals, patients, and care-partners are priorities. Everyone who faces dialysis should have access to home therapy. Facilitating universal access to home dialysis and expanding utilization requires alignment of policy considerations and resources at the dialysis-center level, with clear leadership from informed and motivated clinical teams.

Abstract
Background Older people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are vulnerable to frailty, which impacts on clinical and experiential outcomes. With kidney transplantation in older people increasing, a better understanding of patient experiences is necessary for guiding decision making. The Kidney Transplantation in Older People (KTOP):impact of frailty on outcomes study aims to explore this. We present a secondary analysis of the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and its relationship with patient experience scores. Methods The KTOP study is a single centre, prospective study, which began in October 2019. All ESKD patients aged ≥60 considered for transplantation at Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre were eligible. Frailty was assessed using the EFS and 5 questionnaires assessed patient experience and quality of life (QoL) (Short Form-12(v2), Palliative Care Outcome Scale-Symptoms Renal, Depression Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale, Renal Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire). The EFS was divided into 4 subdomains (psychosocial, physical function, medical status, and general health) and then compared with the questionnaire scores. Results 210 patients have been recruited (aged 60-78), 186 of whom completed EFS assessments. 118 (63.4%) participants were not frail, 36 (19.4%) vulnerable, and 32 (17.2%) were frail. Worse frailty scores were associated with poorer patient experience and QoL scores across all questionnaires. Severe deficits in the EFS psychosocial subdomain showed a statistically significant association with higher depression screen scores (coefficient 4.9, 95% CI 3.22 to 6.59), lower physical (coefficient -4.35, 95% CI -7.59 to -1.12) and mental function scores (coefficient -8.33, 95% CI -11.77 to -4.88) from the Short Form-12(v2), and lower renal treatment satisfaction scores (coefficient -5.54, 95% CI -10.70 to -0.37). Deficits in the physical function and medical status EFS subdomians showed some association with patient experience scores. Conclusion In the KTOP study cohort at recruitment vulnerable and frail candidates reported worse QoL and patient experiences. Severe deficits in the psychosocial subdomains of the EFS showed a strong association with patient experience and QoL, whilst physical function and medical status deficits showed a lesser association. This has highlighted specific EFS domains that may be suitable for targeted interventions to improve experiences and optimise outcomes.

Abstract
We have developed a supportive two-exchange assisted continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (asCAPD) programme for the older frail person who cannot do autonomous PD and do not want or are considered to be too high risk for haemodialysis (HD). Evaluation of the programme was determined by data collected retrospectively from patient records. Primary outcome was comparison of symptoms at start of dialysis and 3 months following dialysis start. Secondary outcomes were survival and peritonitis rate. Over a 4-year period (2016-2020), 49 patients with mean age 79.6 years (range 47-90) enrolled in the programme with eGFR 7.7 ± 2.6 ml/min (mean ± SD) at dialysis start. Forty-one patients had been on asCAPD for >3 months. There was an improvement in all symptoms at 3 months compared to baseline: anorexia (46% to 15%), fatigue (46% to 15%), shortness of breath (27% to 2%) and oedema (51% to 32%). One-year survival was 55%. Peritonitis rate was 0.52 episodes per patient year. The novel supportive two-exchange asCAPD programme shows potential improvement of symptoms after 3 months and may provide an acceptable dialysis modality for the frail co-morbid person with established kidney failure. More detailed study and evaluation are needed.

Abstract
Abstract
Supportive care (SC) is a multidimensional and person-centred approach to managing advanced CKD that engages the person and their caregivers in shared decision making from the outset. Rather than focussing on disease-specific therapies, SC is a collection of adjuvant interventions and adaptations to conventional treatments that can be used to improve the individual's quality of life. Recognising that frailty, multi-morbidity, and polypharmacy are more common among older people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and that people in this group tend to prioritise quality of life over survival as a goal of care, SC represents an important adjunct to disease-specific therapies in CKD management. This review provides an overview of SC in the older person with advanced CKD.

Abstract
The growing older population with advanced chronic kidney disease (ACKD stages 4-5) poses a challenge for healthcare worldwide. The high prevalence of frailty and associated adverse health outcomes highlights concerns for management and interventions specific to this population. The aim was to objectively review the evidence relating to older people (≥65 years) living with frailty and ACKD. More specifically how frailty is identified, what interventions have been studied and what outcomes have been reported including outcomes important to patients, families and carers. A scoping review was undertaken following the PRISMA-Scr guidelines. Nine databases were searched and a review team of five people followed a process using defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were then analysed to answer the specific questions of the review. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health was used to map outcomes across the domains. A total of 90 studies were included. The most reported frailty measure was the frailty phenotype. The most reported outcomes were mortality, hospitalisation and healthcare utilisation. Health-related quality of life was the most common patient-reported outcome measure. There were few intervention studies and limited evidence of patient and carer perspectives. This scoping review highlights important areas for further research in older people living with frailty and ACKD. This includes a 'gold standard' measure for identifying frailty, interventions and improvements in outcome measures that matter to patients (including studies that focus on carers and carer burden) and priority setting for future research.

Abstract
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a clinical syndrome hallmarked by the formation of a fibrous cocoon encapsulating the bowel resulting in morbidity and mortality. EPS is most frequently associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), particularly with its discontinuation. While EPS is one of the most feared complications of PD, the majority of patients receiving PD will not go on to develop EPS. Risk factors for development include time on PD, some types of peritonitis and discontinuation of PD. Owing to its rarity, much of the knowledge of EPS comes from case series and registries and treatments are extrapolated from low-quality evidence. Malnutrition is a significant driver of mortality, and nutritional support is critical in management. We present a case of EPS and frequently asked questions including the definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, role of infection, management and roles of nutrition and surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation in older people has increased, however older transplant recipients experience mixed outcomes that invariably impacts on their quality of life. The increased vulnerability of older end stage kidney disease patients to frailty and cognitive impairment, may partially explain the differences in outcomes observed. The Kidney Transplantation in Older People (KTOP): impact of frailty on clinical outcomes study is an active clinical study aiming to explore the experience of older people waiting for and undergoing transplantation. In this manuscript we present the study protocol, the study cohort, and the prevalence of frailty and cognitive impairment identified at recruitment. METHODS The KTOP study is a single centre, prospective, mixed methods, observational study. Recruitment began in October 2019. All patients aged 60 or above either active on the deceased donor waitlist or undergoing live donor transplantation were eligible for recruitment. Recruited participants completed a series of questionnaires assessing frailty, cognition, and quality of life, which are repeated at defined time points whilst on the waitlist and post-transplant. Clinical data was concurrently collected. Any participants identified as frail or vulnerable were also eligible for enrolment into the qualitative sub-study. RESULTS Two hundred eight participants have been recruited (age 60-78). Baseline Montreal Cognitive Assessments were available for 173 participants, with 63 (36.4%) participants identified as having scores below normal (score < 26). Edmonton Frail Scale assessments were available for 184 participants, with 29 participants (15.8%) identified as frail (score ≥ 8), and a further 37 participants (20.1%) identified as being vulnerable (score 6-7). CONCLUSION In the KTOP study cohort we have identified a prevalence of 36.4% of participants with MoCA scores suggestive of cognitive impairment, and a prevalence of frailty of 15.8% at recruitment. A further 20.1% were vulnerable. As formal testing for cognition and frailty is not routinely incorporated into the work up of older people across many units, the presence and significance of these conditions is likely not known. Ultimately the KTOP study will report on how these parameters evolve over time and following a transplant, and describe their impact on quality of life and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Availability of assisted PD (asPD) increases access to dialysis at home, particularly for the increasing numbers of older and frail people with advanced kidney disease. Although asPD has been widely used in some European countries for many years, it remains unavailable or poorly utilised in others. A group of leading European nephrologists have therefore formed a group to drive increased availability of asPD in Europe and in their own countries. METHODS Members of the group filled in a proforma with the following headings: personal experience, country experience, who are the assistants, funding of asPD, barriers to growth, what is needed to grow, and their top 3 priorities. RESULTS Only 5 of the 13 countries surveyed provided publicly funded reimbursement for asPD. The use of asPD depends on overall attitudes to PD with all respondents mentioning need for nephrology team education and/or patient education and involvement in dialysis modality decision making. CONCLUSION AND CALL TO ACTION Many people with advanced kidney disease would prefer to have their dialysis at home, yet if the frail patient chooses PD most healthcare systems cannot provide their choice. AsPD should be available in all countries in Europe and for all renal centres. The top priorities to make this happen are education of renal healthcare teams about the advantages of PD, education of and discussion with patients and their families as they approach the need for dialysis, and engagement with policy makers and healthcare providers to develop and support assistance for PD.

Abstract
Barriers to accessing home dialysis became a matter of life and death for many patients with kidney failure during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the more commonly used home therapy option. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of PD catheter insertion procedures as performed around the world today, barriers impacting timely access to the procedure, the impact of COVID-19 and a roadmap of potential policy solutions. To substantiate the analysis, the article includes a survey of institutions across the world, with questions designed to get a sense of the regulatory frameworks, barriers to conducting the procedure and impacts of the pandemic on capability and outcomes. Based on our research, we found that improving patient selection processes, determining and implementing correct insertion techniques, creating multidisciplinary teams, providing appropriate training and sharing decision making among stakeholders will improve access to PD catheter insertion and facilitate greater uptake of home dialysis. Additionally, on a policy level, we recommend efforts to improve the awareness and feasibility of PD among patients and the healthcare workforce, enhance and promulgate training for clinicians—both surgical and medical—to insert PD catheters and fund personnel, pathways and physical facilities for PD catheter insertion.

Introduction
There are an increasing number of older people live with advanced kidney disease. These individuals tend to have a higher number of co-morbidities, including frailty. This group experience multiple challenges in understanding and managing their co-existing conditions. This quality improvement project aimed to incorporate patient and carers views and experiences to improve their understanding and support self-management.
Method
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with older patients with advanced kidney disease and their carers. Interviews explored their views on ageing and frailty, how it affects them, coping strategies, resource awareness and opinions on structure and content for an educational leaflet for older people with kidney disease. The interviews were transcribed verbatim then coded into themes to inform key topics for the leaflet. These were used to generate reader-friendly questions and answers. The leaflet was reviewed and approved by the Clinical Committee and Patient Information Board in Kidney Care UK.
Results
10 individuals (8 patients and 2 carers) were interviewed. Patients were aged 62–88 years. Three were receiving haemodialysis, two peritoneal dialysis, two had a kidney transplant and three attended the advanced kidney care clinic. The five most common codes identified were ‘physical exercise’, ‘losing abilities’, ‘mobility’, ‘prevention and safety’ and ‘medical problems’. Themes identified were 1. Mood and memory, 2. Mobility and medical problems, 3. Self-help and supports, 4. Determination, 5. Impact on self and other. The leaflet title was chosen by patients and carers. Figure 1 shows the completed, published leaflet.
Conclusion
This quality improvement project used semi-structured interviews with older patients and carers affected by advanced kidney disease. The main issues they identified in relation to getting older with kidney disease were included in an educational leaflet. Partnership with Kidney Care UK has made the leaflet available across the UK. We hope it will directly address their everyday concerns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized trials can provide evidence to inform decision-making but this may be limited if the outcomes of importance to patients and clinicians are omitted or reported inconsistently. We aimed to assess the scope and heterogeneity of outcomes reported in trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Specialized Register for randomized trials in PD. We extracted all reported outcome domains and measurements and analyzed their frequency and characteristics. RESULTS From 128 reports of 120 included trials, 80 different outcome domains were reported. Overall, 39 (49%) domains were surrogate, 23 (29%) patient-reported and 18 (22%) clinical. The five most commonly reported domains were PD-related infection [59 (49%) trials], dialysis solute clearance [51 (42%)], kidney function [45 (38%)], protein metabolism [44 (37%)] and inflammatory markers/oxidative stress [42 (35%)]. Quality of life was reported infrequently (4% of trials). Only 14 (12%) trials included a patient-reported outcome as a primary outcome. The median number of outcome measures (defined as a different measurement, aggregation and metric) was 22 (interquartile range 13-37) per trial. PD-related infection was the most frequently reported clinical outcome as well as the most frequently stated primary outcome. A total of 383 different measures for infection were used, with 66 used more than once. CONCLUSIONS Trials in PD include important clinical outcomes such as infection, but these are measured and reported inconsistently. Patient-reported outcomes are infrequently reported and nearly half of the domains were surrogate. Standardized outcomes for PD trials are required to improve efficiency and relevance.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Individuals faced with decisions regarding kidney replacement therapy options need information on how dialysis treatments might affect daily activities and quality of life, and what factors might influence the evolution over time of the impact of dialysis on daily activities and quality of life. STUDY DESIGN Observational cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 7,771 hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) participants from 6 countries participating in the Peritoneal and Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Studies (PDOPPS/DOPPS). PREDICTORS Patient-reported functional status (based on daily living activities), country, demographic and clinical characteristics, and comorbidities. OUTCOME Employment status and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) instrument physical and mental component summary scores (PCS, MCS), kidney disease burden score, and depression symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D] score > 10). ANALYTICAL APPROACH Linear regression (PCS, MCS, kidney disease burden score), logistic regression (depression symptoms), adjusted for predictors plus 12 additional comorbidities. RESULTS In both dialysis modalities, patients in Japan had the highest PCS and employment (55% for HD and 68% for PD), whereas those in the United States had the highest MCS score, lowest kidney disease burden, and lowest employment (20% in HD and 42% in PD). After covariate adjustment, the association of age, sex, dialysis vintage, diabetes, and functional status with PROs was similar in both modalities, with women having lower PCS and kidney disease burden scores. Lower functional status (score <11) was strongly associated with lower PCS and MCS scores, a much greater burden of kidney disease, and greater likelihood of depression symptoms (CES-D, >10). The median change in KDQOL-based PROs was negligible over 1 year in participants who completed at least 2 annual questionnaires. LIMITATIONS Selection bias due to incomplete survey responses. Generalizability was limited to the dialysis populations of the included countries. CONCLUSIONS Variation exists in quality of life, burden of kidney disease, and depression across countries but did not appreciably change over time. Functional status remained one of the strongest predictors of all PROs. Routine assessment of functional status may provide valuable insights for patients and providers in anticipating outcomes and support needs for patients receiving either PD or HD.

Abstract
Introduction A better understanding of factors influencing perceived life expectancy (PLE), interactions between patient prognostic beliefs, experiences of illness, and treatment behavior is urgently needed. Methods Case-notes at 3 hemodialysis units were screened: patients with ≥20% 1-year mortality risk were included. Patients and their health care professionals (HCPs) were invited to complete a structured interview or mixed-methods questionnaire. Four hundred eleven patient notes were screened. Seventy-seven eligible patients were approached and 51 were included. Results Patients predicted significantly higher life expectancies than HCPs (P < 0.0001). Documented cognitive impairment, gender, or increasing age did not affect 1- or 5-year PLE. PLE influenced priorities of care: one-fifth of patients who estimated themselves to have >95% 1-year survival preferred “care focusing on relieving pain and discomfort,” compared with nearly three-quarters of those reporting a ≤50% chance of 1-year survival. Twenty of 51 (39%) patients believed transplantation was an option for them, despite only 4 being waitlisted at the time of the interview. Patients who thought they were transplant candidates were significantly more confident they would be alive at 1 and 5 years and to want resuscitation attempted. Cognitive impairment had no effect on perceived transplant candidacy. A high symptom burden was present and underrecognized by HCPs. High symptom burden was associated with significantly lower PLE at both 1 and 5 years, increased anxiety/depression scores, and treatment choices more likely to prioritize relief of suffering. Conclusion There is a disparity between patient PLE and those of their HCPs. Severity of symptom burden and beliefs regarding PLE or transplant candidacy affect patient treatment preferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES People with kidney failure typically receive KRT in the form of dialysis or transplantation. However, studies have suggested that not all patients with kidney failure are best suited for KRT. Additionally, KRT is costly and not always accessible in resource-restricted settings. Conservative kidney management is an alternate kidney failure therapy that focuses on symptom management, psychologic health, spiritual care, and family and social support. Despite the importance of conservative kidney management in kidney failure care, several barriers exist that affect its uptake and quality. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The Global Kidney Health Atlas is an ongoing initiative of the International Society of Nephrology that aims to monitor and evaluate the status of global kidney care worldwide. This study reports on findings from the 2018 Global Kidney Health Atlas survey, specifically addressing the availability, accessibility, and quality of conservative kidney management. RESULTS Respondents from 160 countries completed the survey, and 154 answered questions pertaining to conservative kidney management. Of these, 124 (81%) stated that conservative kidney management was available. Accessibility was low worldwide, particularly in low-income countries. Less than half of countries utilized multidisciplinary teams (46%); utilized shared decision making (32%); or provided psychologic, cultural, or spiritual support (36%). One-quarter provided relevant health care providers with training on conservative kidney management delivery. CONCLUSIONS Overall, conservative kidney management is available in most countries; however, it is not optimally accessible or of the highest quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While peritoneal dialysis (PD) can offer patients more independence and flexibility compared with in-center hemodialysis, managing the ongoing and technically demanding regimen can impose a burden on patients and caregivers. Patient empowerment can strengthen capacity for self-management and improve treatment outcomes. We aimed to describe patients' and caregivers' perspectives on the meaning and role of patient empowerment in PD. METHODS Adult patients receiving PD (n = 81) and their caregivers (n = 45), purposively sampled from nine dialysis units in Australia, Hong Kong and the USA, participated in 14 focus groups. Transcripts were thematically analyzed. RESULTS We identified six themes: lacking clarity for self-management (limited understanding of rationale behind necessary restrictions, muddled by conflicting information); PD regimen restricting flexibility and freedom (burden in budgeting time, confined to be close to home); strength with supportive relationships (gaining reassurance with practical assistance, comforted by considerate health professionals, supported by family and friends); defying constraints (reclaiming the day, undeterred by treatment, refusing to be defined by illness); regaining lost vitality (enabling physical functioning, restoring energy for life participation); and personal growth through adjustment (building resilience and enabling positive outlook, accepting the dialysis regimen). CONCLUSIONS Understanding the rationale behind lifestyle restrictions, practical assistance and family support in managing PD promoted patient empowerment, whereas being constrained in time and capacity for life participation outside the home undermined it. Education, counseling and strategies to minimize the disruption and burden of PD may enhance satisfaction and outcomes in patients requiring PD.

Abstract
The 2019 International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) Practice Recommendations were prepared by a committee invited by the ISPD to develop new practice recommendations for prescribing high-quality, goal-directed peritoneal dialysis (PD). Further input was sought at the stage of the first draft of the proposed recommendations by circulating drafts of the recommendations and articles to an international selection of people who were either actively doing PD or who were previously treated with PD, as well as caregivers, to ask for their feedback. A diverse group of 22 people from 8 countries across 5 continents provided their feedback covering the main recommendations as well as the accompanying articles. Much of the feedback has been acted upon at the revision stages, however, the responses are published here in summary form to underscore the commitment to hearing the voice of those doing PD or caring for them. A key change that arose from the feedback has been the shift of language from “patient-centred” to “person-centered,” reflecting the desire of these recommendations to address the patient as a person with needs and preferences beyond just the medical perspective, along with the need for the person doing PD to be central to the process of shared decision-making. Notwithstanding the challenges of an international, multi-lingual population, with people doing PD in highly diverse geographic and economic environments, the next iteration of ISPD guidelines should consider the role of people doing PD and their carers in evidence-based coproduced guidelines, from the inception of the guidelines.

Abstract
Background: Patient burnout is a major cause of technique failure on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Reducing the PD prescription on an individual basis, dependent upon residual kidney function (RKF), may have a role in prolonging time on PD by reducing dialysis burden. This retrospective study aimed to determine the safety and impact of flexible PD prescribing on technique and patient survival. Methods: All patients (186) from our centre starting PD from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2016 were included. Data on dialysis prescription were collected for each patient from the time they had started PD, and dialysis adequacy measured regularly (3–6 monthly) using PD Adequest. Results: Median age at start of dialysis was 61 years. Only 49% started on PD 7 days a week and this dropped to 27% at 3 months following the first clearance test. Over 90% achieved creatinine clearance > 50 L/week/1.73 m2 up to 2 years of follow-up, with 87% achieving this standard at 3 years. Patient and technique survival at 1, 2 and 3 years were 91%, 81%, and 72%, and 89%, 87% and 78% respectively. Factors on univariate analysis affecting technique survival included increasing age (HR 0.98, p = 0.04, 95% CI (0.96–0.999)), two or more episodes of PD-associated peritonitis (HR 4.52, p = 0.00, 95% CI (1.87–10.91)) and increasing PD intensity (HR 3.30, p = 0.02, 95% CI (1.22–8.93)). After multivariate adjustment which included baseline kidney function, low PD intensity continued to be associated with better technique survival (HR 0.17, p = 0.03, 95% CI (0.03–0.85)). Conclusion: Tailoring the PD prescription to RKF enables days off dialysis while still maintaining recommended levels of small solute clearance. This approach reduces dialysis burden and is associated with higher technique survival.

Abstract
The prevalence of coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arterial disease was assessed using a standard cardiovascular questionnaire in a cohort of 70 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Symptomatic vascular disease was found in 47% of patients, 72% of whom were smokers and 30% diabetic. In 39% of these patients vascular disease was evident prior to the commencement of peritoneal dialysis. A case control study matching for age and sex revealed patients with vascular disease to have higher median systolic blood pressure (162 mmHg vs 150 mmHg, p=0.026), cholesterol (6.60 mmol/L vs 6.00 mmol/L, p=0.014), and LDL cholesterol (4.80 mmol/L vs 3.80 mmol/L, p=0.009). Vascular disease is common in patients on peritoneal dialysis, a considerable proportion of whom have the disease prior to the commencement of dialysis. Elevated systolic blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia, but not smoking, are most closely associated with vascular disease in these patients.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of 1.1% amino acid dialysate (A AD) (Nutrineal, Baxter, Castlebar, Ireland) on lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Design Patients were alternately assigned to receive AAD in the first (group A), or the second (group B), 6 months of a prospective cross-over study. Setting University teaching hospital. Patients Eighteen stable CAPD patients with a serum cholesterol 5.5 mmol/L or greater. Interventions One post prandial exchange of AAD during a 24-hour period for 6 months. Main Outcome Measures A significant change in serum lipid levels. Results Patients in group A (n = 10) received a single daily exchange of AAD in place of their post prandial dextrose exchange for the first 6 months, and then crossed over to the dextrose phase. Patients in group B (n = 8) continued their usual dextrose dialysis for the first 6 months and then crossed over to receive AAD in the latter 6 months. Measurements of serum lipids and lipoproteins along with other biochemical parameters were made at regular intervals. Although a downward trend in mean serum total cholesterol was seen on AAD in group A, no significant change in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was observed in any group. Mean serum triglycerides fell on AAD in both groups, but were not statistically significant. Serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and apolipoprotein B were elevated in both groups but did not change on AAD or with time. No change was observed in serum apoprotein A1 levels. Serum Lp(a) was not correlated to dialysate protein excretion. No change in mean serum albumin was observed, in either group, on AAD. KT/V urea, total weekly creatinine clearance, net ultrafiltration, and dialysate protein excretion remained unchanged on AAD. Conclusions The use of A AD, although clinically safe and without side effects, had no effect on the dyslipidem ia in our group of CAPD patients.

Abstract
Objective We determined the effectiveness of a once-daily cefazolin-based regimen in treating automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) peritonitis. Design We carried out a retrospective analysis of all APD peritonitis episodes treated with a once-daily cefazolin protocol. Setting The study was performed in a peritoneal dialysis unit in a tertiary care hospital. Patients and Methods We studied 60 episodes of primary peritonitis in 40 patients on APD. Each patient was treated with a vancomycin-free regimen consisting of intraperitoneal cefazolin (1.5 g IP) with gentamicin IP administered in the daytime exchange. The main outcome measures were successful treatment of peritonitis, removal of peritoneal catheter, relapse of peritonitis, and patient death. Results Gram-positive infections occurred in 35 episodes (58.3%), gram-negative infections in 10 episodes (16.7%), culture-negative infections in 14 episodes (23.3%), and a yeast infection in 1 episode (1.7%). Of the 60 episodes, 47 (78.3%) were successfully treated. In 10 episodes (16.7%), catheters were removed (9 for treatment failure, 1 for yeast infection). Four patients (8%) had a relapse of infection within 4 weeks of completing antibiotic therapy. One patient (1.7%) died. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that once-daily cefazolin with gentamicin IP is an effective treatment for APD peritonitis, with the advantage of being easy to administer and enabling patients to remain on APD during treatment.

Abstract
Many older patients do not cope well with hemodialysis, yet the proportion of older patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is considerably lower than for younger patients. This is despite the fact that clinical outcome studies show that older patients cope as well as, if not better than, younger patients on PD. Furthermore, the North Thames Dialysis Study, a prospective study of patients ≥70 years old, has shown that survival, hospitalization, and quality of life were identical for patients on hemodialysis and patients on PD.

Abstract
♦ Objective To compare clinical outcomes and quality of life (QOL) in elderly patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) in the North Thames Dialysis Study. ♦ Design A 12-month prospective cohort study. ♦ Setting Four hospital-based renal units in London, UK. ♦ Patients 174 patients that were 70 years or older at the start of dialysis, separated into two cohorts: 78 new patients (36 PD, 42 HD) that were recruited after 90 days of chronic dialysis; and 96 stock patients (42 PD, 54 HD) that were already on dialysis during the recruitment period. ♦ Main Outcome Measures 12-month survival and hospitalization rate, and QOL assessed at baseline and at 6 and 12 months by the SF-36 and the Symptoms/Problems scale of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (KDQOL). ♦ Results Peritoneal dialysis and HD patients were similar for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Annual mortality and hospitalization rates in PD versus HD patients were 26.1 versus 26.4 deaths/100 person–years and 1.9 versus 2.0 admissions/person–year, respectively. Adjusted relative risks showed no effect of modality on clinical outcomes. Multiple linear regression analyses of QOL at baseline showed similar SF-36 scores between PD and HD patients, but higher KDQOL scores in PD patients (3.5 points higher, 95% confidence interval 0.3 – 6.6). There was, however, no effect of dialysis modality on QOL at 6 or 12 months. ♦ Conclusions Clinical outcomes and QOL are similar in elderly people on PD and HD. Peritoneal dialysis is a viable option for more than a carefully selected minority of elderly people requiring dialysis.

Abstract
♦ Objective Conventional continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in patients without residual renal function and with high solute transport is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) has the potential to improve both solute clearance and ultrafiltration in these circumstances, but its efficacy as a treatment modality is unknown. The European Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Study (EAPOS) is a 2-year, prospective, European multi-center study designed to determine APD feasibility and clinical outcomes in anuric patients. The present article describes the baseline data for patients recruited into the study. ♦ Design All PD patients treated in the participating centers were screened for inclusion criteria [urinary output < 100 mL/24 h, or residual renal function (RRF) < 1 mL/min, or both]. After enrollment, changes were made to the dialysis prescription to achieve a weekly creatinine clearance above 60 L per 1.73 m2 and an ultrafiltration rate above 750 mL in 24 hours. ♦ Setting The study is being conducted in 26 dialysis centers in 13 European countries. ♦ Baseline Data Collection The information collected includes patient demographics, dialysis prescription, achieved weekly creatinine clearance, and 24-hour ultra-filtration (UF). ♦ Results The study enrolled 177 anuric patients. Median dialysis duration before enrollment was 22.5 months (range: 0 – 285 months). Mean solute transport measured as the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine (D/PCr) was 0.74 ± 0.12. Patients received APD for a median of 9.0 hours overnight (range: 7 – 12 hours) using a median of 11.0 L of fluid (range: 6 – 28.75 L). Median daytime volume was 4.0 L (range: 0.0 – 9.0 L). Tidal dialysis was used in 26 patients, and icodextrin in 86 patients. At baseline, before treatment optimization, the weekly mean total creatinine clearance was 65.2 ± 14.4 L/1.73 m2, with 105 patients (60%) achieving the target of more than 60 L/1.73 m2. At baseline, 81% of patients with high transport, 69% with high-average transport, and 40% with low-average transport met the target. At baseline, 70% of patients with a body surface area (BSA) below 1.7 m2, 60% with a BSA of 1.7 – 2.0 m2, and 56% with a BSA above 2.0 m2 achieved 60 L/1.73 m2 weekly. Median UF was 1090 mL/24 h, and 75% of patients achieved the UF target of more than 750 mL/24 h. ♦ Conclusion This baseline analysis of anuric patients recruited into the EAPOS study demonstrates that a high proportion of anuric patients on APD can achieve dialysis and ultrafiltration targets using a variety of regimes. This 2-year follow-up study aims to optimize APD prescription to reach predefined clearance and ultrafiltration targets, and to observe the resulting clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Primary analysis of the European Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Study (EAPOS) found that patients with daily ultrafiltration (UF) below a predefined target of 750 mL at baseline experienced increased mortality and continuing low UF over 2 years. Setting Multicenter, prospective observational study of prevalent, functionally anuric patients on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) treated to predefined standards. Methods Secondary data analysis to determine clinical covariates that might support a link between poor UF and outcome, including pattern of comorbidity, prescription, nutrition as determined by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), membrane function, and blood pressure (BP). Ultrafiltration was treated as a categorical (comparing patients above and below target at baseline) and continuous dependent variable in univariate and multivariate regression. The relationship between BP and survival was also explored. Results Of 177 patients recruited from 28 centers across Europe, 43 were below the UF target at baseline. Compared to those above target, there were no differences in the spread of comorbidity, type of APD prescription, SGA, BP, hemoglobin, HCO3, or parathyroid hormone, at baseline or at any later time. At baseline, plasma calcium and, at 12 months, plasma phosphate were lower in the low UF group. There was a weak positive correlation between baseline systolic or diastolic BP and UF, which remained on multivariate analysis but accounted for just 9% of the variability in BP. There was no clear relationship between baseline BP and survival, although, if anything, low BP was associated with earlier death. Poor UF was associated with lower mean dialysate glucose concentration during the first 4 months and with consistently worse membrane function. Conclusions The increased mortality associated with poor UF is likely multifactorial and not easily explained by clear differences in comorbidity, nutritional state, or other indices of treatment at baseline. The lower plasma phosphate suggests a subsequent fall in appetite. Poor BP control is unlikely to be the explanation, and a link between lower BP, reduced UF, and earlier death is suggested. Failure to achieve adequate UF due to worse membrane function remains an important and potentially reversible or preventable cause.

Abstract
Objective We studied the effectiveness of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in detecting inflammation in known or suspected cases of sclerosing peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Design We undertook FDG-PET scanning in PD patients presenting with symptoms or signs suggestive of sclerosing peritonitis (SP), and in patients on long-term PD with no symptoms of SP. Setting The study was performed in a PD unit in a tertiary-care hospital. Patients and Methods Three patients with known or strongly suspected SP underwent FDG-PET scans, 1 within 3 months of presentation with symptoms and 2 who were scanned more than 9 months after presentation. One patient was scanned at an early and a late time point. Five patients who had been on PD for more than 5 years and who were asymptomatic also underwent FDG-PET scanning. Scans were interpreted by a specialist in nuclear medicine. Results The scan performed in the early stages of SP showed increased peritoneal uptake. However, three scans taken more than 9 months after presentation with suspected SP showed mild peritoneal abnormalities only. One of 5 asymptomatic long-term PD patients showed increased peritoneal uptake associated with loss of ultrafiltration and high transporter status. Conclusions FDG-PET scanning may be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of the acute phase of SP. More study is needed to define its role in the diagnosis of SP in asymptomatic PD patients.

Abstract
On haemodialysis, my life was not my own — handing control to nursing staff for 4 hours, 3 days a week, surrounded by noisy machines and unhappy patients, returning home after 11 hours, too exhausted to eat and falling into bed. However, peritoneal dialysis has given me back my life. I am in control of me and am treated like a human being, not just a patient. There are minor drawbacks, such as storage for the fluids and being unable to have a bath, but it is a small price to pay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about long-term survivors with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). Published literature focuses on patients managed surgically. We describe our experience of the long-term outcomes in patients with EPS conservatively managed with nutritional support alone. METHODS This is a single-centre retrospective observational study of patients who had survived for ≥5 years since diagnosis. EPS survivors were invited for review of symptoms, nutritional assessment and evaluation of quality of life. Radiological progression was assessed based on serial computed tomography (CT) scores for each patient. RESULTS A total of 23 patients with a diagnosis of EPS for at least 5 years were identified, with 18 patients alive at the time of the study. Of these 18 patients, 10 patients transferred to haemodialysis (HD) and 8 patients received kidney transplants. Commonest symptoms were nausea (91%) and vomiting (73%). Mean body mass index for patients was within the ideal and healthy range, with only 11% suffering from continued weight loss. In all, 70% EPS survivors on HD received nutritional support compared to 15% of those with transplants; 17% required ongoing parenteral nutrition. Of the 11 patients with serial CT scans at least 4 years apart, 10 had an increase in radiological score for EPS but with no apparent correlation to clinical outcomes. There were no significant differences in the reported quality of life between EPS survivors on HD and those transplanted, with self-rated health status equivalent to that reported for the general end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) population. CONCLUSION Long-term survival following EPS managed conservatively with nutritional support is feasible, with the majority no longer requiring nutritional support and having a quality of life similar to other patients with ESKD.

Abstract
Person-centered care has become a dominant paradigm in modern health care. It needs to be applied to people with end-stage kidney disease considering the initiation of dialysis and to peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescription and care delivery. It is relevant to their decisions about goals of care, transplantation, palliative care, and discontinuation of dialysis. It is also relevant to decisions about how PD is delivered, including options such as incremental PD. Shared decision-making is the essence of this process and needs to become a standard principle of care. It requires engagement, education, and empowerment of patients. Patient-reported outcomes and patient-reported experience are also central to person-centered care in PD.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is only one component of care for older multimorbid, frail and/or palliative patients. Goals of care should be determined for all patients by shared decision-making at the start of during time on PD. Burden of PD should be minimized by individualizing the prescription by allowing for residual renal function and tailored to what is acceptable to the patient. PD facilities should develop the care pathways needed for this group of patients including integration with local geriatric, palliative care and social services

Abstract
Outcomes reported in randomized controlled trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD) are diverse, are measured inconsistently, and may not be important to patients, families, and clinicians. The Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Peritoneal Dialysis (SONG-PD) initiative aims to establish a core outcome set for trials in PD based on the shared priorities of all stakeholders. We convened an international SONG-PD stakeholder consensus workshop in May 2018 in Vancouver, Canada. Nineteen patients/caregivers and 51 health professionals attended. Participants discussed core outcome domains and implementation in trials in PD. Four themes relating to the formation of core outcome domains were identified: life participation as a main goal of PD, impact of fatigue, empowerment for preparation and planning, and separation of contributing factors from core factors. Considerations for implementation were identified: standardizing patient-reported outcomes, requiring a validated and feasible measure, simplicity of binary outcomes, responsiveness to interventions, and using positive terminology. All stakeholders supported inclusion of PD-related infection, cardiovascular disease, mortality, technique survival, and life participation as the core outcome domains for PD.

Abstract
Background:The most common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is infection. Despite this, there are no clear guidelines for the management of repeat exit-site infection (ESI), and best practice is not known. We describe our unit's experience of repeat ESI and clinical outcomes in this cohort.Methods:Retrospective case note review of all PD patients with positive ESI swabs at our center between 1 January 2012 and 1 January 2018. Patients were included in the study if they had 2 or more ESI with the same organism within a 12-month period and an initial positive response to antibiotic therapy.Results:Overall, 31 of 248 patients had repeat ESI. The 2 most common causative organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (n = 16, 52%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 10, 32%). Twenty (65%) patients developed subsequent peritonitis. The infection resolved with further antibiotics alone in 10 (32%) patients and in 6 patients after PD catheter exchange. The PD catheter was removed in 16 (52%) patients (including 5 after an initial catheter exchange) requiring transfer to hemodialysis (HD). Six (19%) patients died within 12 months of repeat ESI. Both repeat Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus infections were associated with high rates of dialysis modality change (70% and 50%, respectively).Conclusion:We have developed the first definition for repeat ESI. Repeat ESI is clinically important and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Following repeat ESI, peritonitis rates are high and a significant number of patients switch dialysis modality. Studies are needed to determine whether interventions such as early catheter exchange would improve outcomes.
