Percutaneous Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion (PREDICT)

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.

About this study

The population of the PREDICT study are adult patients requiring a peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion. Decision for percutaneous strategy of catheter insertion (versus surgical catheter insertion) is made by the treating physician.

The inclusion criteria for the prospective PREDICT registry are age > 18 years and percutaneous PD catheter insertion between 1 March 2023 and 1 March 1 2026 in participating centers.

Patients can be included 4 weeks before until 12 weeks after PD catheter insertion. The exclusion criteria are the inability to give informed consent and a life expectancy of less than 3 months.

Demographic and clinical data will be collected for all included patients.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

questionnaires

Other

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).

Primary outcomes

  1. Implementation of percutaneus PD catheter insertion technique in dialysis centers

    Time frame: through study completion, 3 years

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

  2. Outcomes of percutaneous inserted PD catheters in participating centers

    Time frame: Over 12 months after percutaneous insertion

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The presence of functioning PD catheter

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

    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.

  2. Insertion-related complications

    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

    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.

  3. Mechanical complications

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

    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.

  4. The rate of PD utilization

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

    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.

  5. Health-related quality of life as assessed by the SF-12 questionnaire

    Time frame: At baseline and at 12 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion

    This secondary outcome is assesses health-related quality of life using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at baseline and at 12 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion, using the validated SF-12 questionnaire.

  6. Self-assessed health-related quality of life using the EQ5D questionnaire.

    Time frame: At baseline and at 12 months after percutaneous PD catheter insertion

    This secondary outcome is assesses health-related quality of life in terms of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression using the validated EQ5D questionnaire.

  7. Health care professionals' perspective on the implementation process

    Time frame: At baseline and yearly

    This secondary outcome assesses the health care professionals' perspective on the implementation process using the structured Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovations. This assessment allows to identify barriers and facilitators of implementation at the level of the percutaneous catheter insertion procedure, at the level of the operator and at the level of the organisation, i.e. the hospital.

  8. Evolution in HD/PD ratio in participating centers throughout the study period

    Time frame: Through study completion, 3 years

    This secondary outcome assesses the evolution in HD/PD ratio in participating centers throughout the study period.

  9. Costs of the procedure

    Time frame: immediately after the intervention

    The secondary outcome assesses the costs of the procedure.
