TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified center-and patient-level predictors of peritoneal dialysis technique failure using Cox shared frailty models and showed that technique failure was significantly less likely in centers with larger proportions of patients treated with peritoneAL dialysis (>29%; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 073 to 0.94) and more likely in smaller centers.

TL;DR: It is suggested that center effects contribute substantially to the appreciable variation in PD peritonitis outcomes that exist across PD centers within Australia.

TL;DR: An international research plan is presented to quantify the epidemiology and to assess the qualitative aspects of transition between different modalities of end-stage kidney disease.

TL;DR: Obesity and severe obesity were independently associated with increased incidence rate ratios of all forms of organism-specific peritonitis with a non-significant trend for severe obesity and gram-positive, gram-negative, fungal, and culture-negativePeritonitis association.

TL;DR: Kidney function, end-stage kidney disease, and death were the most important outcomes to patients, caregivers, and health professionals and consistent reporting of these top prioritized outcomes may strengthen the value of trials in ADPKD for decision making.
