Rev. Colomb. Nefrol. 2014; 1(2): 92-97 ResumenLa diálisis peritoneal crónica (DPC) es una de las opciones más frecuentes de inicio de terapia de remplazo renal crónico en Colombia. La presencia de complicaciones inherentes a la terapia tiene baja incidencia, sin embargo, la peritonitis asociada con DPC se ha relacionado con el posterior cambio de modalidad terapéutica a hemodiálisis crónica y con aumento de las tasas de hospitalización. Se desarrolló un estudio de casos y controles con el fin de evaluar la mortalidad y posibles factores de riesgo asociados en los pacientes que presentaron peritonitis en DPC en el periodo comprendido entre el 1 de enero de 2010 y el 31 de diciembre de 2012. Los factores de riesgo identificados para desarrollo de peritonitis y mortalidad no tuvieron significancia estadística. Los casos de peritonitis atribuidos a fatiga del cuidador, presentaron mayor riesgo de recurrencia y recaída de la peritonitis. En cuanto al riesgo de mortalidad se encontró que la probabilidad para la presentación de dicho desenlace fue 1,75 veces mayor en los hombres, 2.2 veces mayor en los pacientes mayores de 75 años, 3.5 veces mayor en los diabéticos y 5.6 veces más elevado en los pacientes hipertensos.Palabras clave: Diálisis peritoneal crónica, peritonitis, mortalidad. Risk factors for mortality in patients who developed peritonitis in chronic peritoneal dialysis in the Hospital Militar Central de Bogotá AbstractIn Colombia, chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) is one of the most common forms of onset of chronic renal replacement therapy. Complications associated with therapy are low, however, peritonitis associated with CPD has been associated with subsequent change of treatment modality to chronic hemodialysis and with increased rates of hospitalization. We performed a control and case study in order to assess the mortality associated risk factors in patients who developed peritonitis in CPD between january 1, 2010 and december 31, 2012. Risk factors identified for development of peritonitis and mortality were not statistically significant. Cases of peritonitis attributed to caregiver fatigue had a higher risk of recurrence and relapse of peritonitis. Regarding the risk of mortality, we found that the probability for this outcome was 1.75 times higher in men, 1.6 times higer in male, 2.2 times higher in patients older than 75 years, 3.5 times higher in diabetics and 5.6 times higher in hypertensive patients.
