About this trial

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most frequent modality of home dialysis for patients with kidney failure.

Most PD catheters are placed using a laparoscopic technique. This approach requires the availability of a qualified surgeon, time in the operating theater and general anaesthesia for the patient. Thus, the laparoscopic technique is less suitable for patients with severe heart failure or multimorbidity where general anaesthesia is not possible.

PD catheters can also be inserted using a percutaneous strategy using a modified Seldinger technique. This strategy can be performed bedside under local anaesthesia, by the nephrologist, radiologist, a surgeon, physician assistant or qualified nurse.

The availability of the percutaneous implantation strategy of a PD catheter in a nephrology center may accomodate more patients to receive a PD catheter insertion, including those who have a contraindication to general anaesthesia or need urgent PD.

The PREDICT project aims to increase knowledge and competencies on percutaneous PD catheter insertions by training centers for this technique. By establisching a prospective registry, the outcomes of percutaneously inserted PD catheters, both in experienced and newly trained centers, will be assessed.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Questionnaires

    Other intervention

    Health-related quality of life will be measured using the 12-item Short Form (SF-12) and EQ5D-5L questionnaires. The SF-12 is summarized into two component scores, the Physical Component Score (PCS) and Mental Composite Score (MCS).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Implementation of percutaneus PD catheter insertion technique in dialysis centers

The first co-primary outcome measure assesses the implementation of the percutaneous PD catheter insertion technique in additional dialysis centers.

Time frame
through study completion, 3 years
2

Outcomes of percutaneous inserted PD catheters in participating centers

The second co-primary outcome measure assesses the outcomes of percutaneous inserted PD catheters in participating centers: functionality of PD catheters, defined as catheters usable for PD, over 12 months after percutaneous insertion, and taking into account competing events.

Time frame
Over 12 months after percutaneous insertion

Secondary outcomes

1

The presence of functioning PD catheter

This secondary outcome measure assesses the presence of functioning PD catheter, defined as catheters usable for PD, over 3 and 6 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion, censored for competing events.

Time frame
Over 3 and 6 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion
2

Insertion-related complications

This secondary outcome measure assesses insertion-related complications, defined as perforation during or within 48 hours after catheter insertion, bleeding within 7 days of insertion and necessitating blood transfusion and/or invasive intervention to control bleeding, and PD-related infections (i.e. exit-site infection, tunnel infection, peritonitis) within 30 days of insertion.

Time frame
Perforation during or within 48 hours after catheter insertion, bleeding within 7 days of insertion, and PD-related infections within 30 days of insertion
3

Mechanical complications

This secondary outcome measure assesses mechanical complications over 3, 6, and 12 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion. Relevant mechanical complications are defined as flow restrictions, pericatheter leakage, and abdominal pain resulting in an adverse event that is either a lack of PD start, a delay in PD start, an interruption of PD, a permanent termination of PD, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, or need for invasive procedures related to the mechanical catheter complication.

Time frame
through study completion of the subject, at 1 year or censored for death or kidney replacement modality switch
4

The rate of PD utilization

This secondary outcome measure assesses the rate of PD utilization, defined as 4 consecutive weeks of PD, after percutaneous PD catheter insertion, censored for competing events.

Time frame
through study completion of the subject, at 1 year or censored for death or kidney replacement modality switch
