Five per cent of almost 80,000 living patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF) in Europe were on CAPD on 31st December, 1982. The use of CAPD has grown dramatically since 1977. Centres which reported the use of CAPD to the EDTA Registry were divided into “experienced” and “inexperienced.” Patients treated in “experienced” centres had less peritonitis and spent less time in hospital because of peritonitis. Patient survival amongst those starting treatment in earlier years was worse in the “inexperienced” centres but improved so that it equalled survival in the “experienced” centres in 1982. At 12 months cumulative patient survival in patients commencing CAPD in 1982 was 87% and technique survival exceeded 95%. It appears that there is now a homogenous population of centres with approximately equal expertise. |
