Abstrakt: Background: The global rise in noncommunicable diseases, including chronic kidney diseases (CKDs), has led to a significant increase in the use of dialysis units to enhance patient longevity and quality of life. Over time, two‐cuff catheters have been replaced by three‐cuff catheters, with their usage expanding in nephrology centers across Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits, complications, and duration of therapy associated with three‐cuff catheters in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methodology: To ensure the reliability of our results, we conducted a comprehensive cross‐sectional study involving 257 patients who underwent three‐cuff PD catheter (PDC) insertion and omentopexy. Data were retrospectively collected from 2016 to 2023 at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Buraidah. The questionnaire was designed based on available variables in the records section and validated by subject experts and experienced research faculty. Data were then entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive statistics were employed for inferential statistics, while the chi‐square test and logistic regression analysis were used to identify predictors of PD outcomes. Results: The average duration of therapy was 27.84 months, with a standard deviation of 27.23 months. Early complications were minimal, with just 5.1% (n = 13) experiencing peritonitis, 0.8% (n = 2) facing catheter migration, and 0.4% (n = 1 each) encountering omental wrap and exit site infection (ESI) within 30 days of catheter insertion. Remarkably, only 7.8% (n = 20) required catheter reinsertion. In addition, catheter removal due to catheter‐related issues was low, affecting only 3.8% of patients. Conclusions: According to the study findings, three‐cuff catheters exhibited fewer complications, superior performance, and longer therapy duration. These outcomes may be attributed to the thorough design of the three‐cuff catheters, the dedication of the staff, and the implementation of strict policies. To maintain these positive results, it is crucial for the Ministry of Health and the Health Cluster to adopt long‐term supportive measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
