Potential Risk Factors

Peritonitis is a major reason why patients transfer from peritoneal dialysis (PD) to hemodialysis. We evaluated the peritonitis infection rates In 146 peritoneal dialysis patients who underwent dialysis at our facility between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1989. Peritonit Is was the primary cause for changing treatment, with 24 (16.4%) of the patients transferring because of this complication. This represented 54.5% of all patients discontinuing CAPD due to method failure. A gamma-Poisson regression analysis was performed in an attempt to Identify potential risk factors associated with an increased Incidence of peritonitis. The results indicated that race, education level, and PD system used were significantly associated with the rate at which peritonitis occurred in our patient population. There was an almost twofold increase in the rate of peritonitis among blacks as compared to whites (2.2 vs 1.2 episodes/patient year). The level of education completed at the start of dialysis had a negative correlation with peritonitis rates. Patients with ≤8, 9–12, and ≥13 years of education had peritonitis rates of 2.4, 1.8, and 1.2 episodes/patient year, respectively. Finally, the system used had a significant effect with our patients on CCPD having lower peritonitis rates as compared to patients on either a connect or disconnect system (0.6 vs 2.5 vs 1.8 episodes/patient year, respectively). Recognizing potential risk factors for peritonitis will help us better understand and address this significant problem in our PD programs. Reducing peritonitis rates should facilitate a decrease in patient transfer due to method failure.

Objectives 1) Understand the extent of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among those undergoing intranasal surgery. 2) Be able to describe potential risk factors for MRSA colonization. The purpose of this study is to outline a prevalance of MRSA colonization among those undergoing inranasal surgery, with an exploration of potential risk factors for colonization. Methods Patients undergoing intranasal surgery (endoscopic sinus surgery, rhinoplasty, septoplasty, etc) at a tertiary care medical center had preoperative nasal swab cultures. The primary endpoint was positive culture of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Patient demographic information was also collected to ascertain potential risk factors for colonization of MRSA. Results Early results have demonstrated that the prevalence of MRSA in patients is less than the reported prevalence in hospital inpatient populations. Of the initial 25 patients enrolled in this study, none were shown to be colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (0/25), with 1 patient having reported a history of MRSA infection (4%). Conclusions Preliminary data suggests that the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among patients undergoing intranasal surgery is less than the prevalence of inpatient populations as reported in several previous studies. While preliminary data suggests a potential decreased prevalence of MRSA in this population, a much larger sample of patients is needed to make a more definitive statement. In the coming weeks and months, as more data is gathered and the sample size included in the study grows, it will be interesting to note whether the initial trend, as suggested here, continues.
