“…In this study, 55.56% of patients had SCD, which was higher than the cross-sectional study conducted by Chinese scholars on peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients (42.9%) [22], but similar to the results of a previous meta-analysis on subjective cognitive complaints of ESRD patients [15]. This may be related to the loss of acute vascular capacity during dialysis dehydration in MHD patients, which leads to decreased cerebrovascular pressure and reduced cerebral perfusion, thus affecting the cognitive function of MHD patients [23,24].…”

“…Limited hemodialysis slots are thereby reserved for those who fail CAPD or have medical contraindications to CAPD. This unselective policy determining our CAPD patient population along with the low educational levels and socioeconomic status of our patients (a majority being unemployed, living in impoverished areas, and not having completed grade 12) may have contributed to an increased intrinsic peritonitis risk [ 14 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…Ideally, a prospective study should be conducted for the purpose of averting the analysis bias associated with retrospective studies. Secondly, despite extensive adjustments for confounding factors, some factors that may affect the occurrence of peritonitis have not been taken into account, such as seasonality, training, and socioeconomic status, among others ( 27 , 72 , 73 ). Lastly, the clinical data, including the serum PTH levels, were baseline values for one measurement only.…”
