Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical features of frequent peritoneal dialysis associated peritonitis (PDAP) and to explore its influencing factors. Methods The clinical data of 91 PDAP patients treated in our hospital from January 2012 to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 29 cases occurred twice (or more than twice) in one year, and 62 cases occurred only once in one year. The data of two groups were compared to investigate the factors and prognosis of frequent PDAP. Results There was significant difference between the two groups in the level of human serum albumin during catheterization (P?0.05). There was significant difference between the two groups in the level of human serum alb-umin at the time of infection (P?0.05). The infection rate of G+ bacteria in frequency group is higher than that in occasional group (P?0.05). The results of drug sensitivity analysis showed G+ strains in both groups had higher resistance to penicillin, erythromycin and oxacillin, and were more sensitive to vancomycin, tegacycline and linazolamine. The resistance rate of G- bacteria to ampicillin, cefazolin, cefuroxime sodium and cefuroxime ester was higher, and the sensitivity to meropenem, imipenem and piperacillin was higher in both groups. Conclusions This study found that the level of human serum albumin is an independent influence factor of frequent PDAP. The infection rate of G+ bacteria in frequency group is higher than that in occasional group. The G+ bacteria in both groups were highly sensitive to vancomycin, tegacycline and linazolamide. The G- bacteria in both groups were highly sensitive to meropenem, imipenem and piperacillin.
