Abstract
The effect of prophylactic antibiotics on the occurrence of peritonitis in the 14 days following surgical peritoneal dialysis catheter placement was evaluated. Medical records from 73 pediatric patients who had 89 Tenckhoff catheters inserted over 6 years were reviewed. Twelve catheter procedures were excluded for rapid catheter loss, unavailable charts, eosinophilic peritonitis, and antibiotic administration > 3 h postoperatively. Chi-squared analysis for non-continuous variables compared factors at the time of catheter placement with outcome (peritonitis). Thirteen patients developed postoperative peritonitis when 77 catheter insertions were analyzed (17%). Peritonitis was significantly more common in patients who did not receive perioperative antibiotics (7 of 16 catheter placements) (chi(2) = 12.48, P < or = 0.001). The reduced incidence of peritonitis was not specific to any one antibiotic class. Using step-wise logistic regression analysis, no association was found between peritonitis incidence and nephrotic syndrome, immunosuppression, recent surgery (< 14 days), acute versus chronic use, year of catheter placement, surgeon, or patient age. Catheter type, implantation technique, exit site care, and operative wound care d...Continue Reading
