TL;DR: Low personal income independently influenced all-cause and cardiovascular death, and initial peritonitis in PD patients, and for PD patients in these high risk situations, integrated care before dialysis and well-constructed PD training programs might be helpful.

TL;DR: The prognostic value of UA in CV and all-cause mortality was weak in PD patients generally, which was confounded by uremia-related and traditional CV risk factors.

TL;DR: Serum iPTH and the use of active vitamin D supplements rather than serum 25(OH)D were independently associated with the presence of MS in patients on PD.

TL;DR: Family members' education level was found to be a novel predictor of PD outcome, and as the main source of health care providers, should be paid more attention in practice.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates low individual income is a risk factor for the initial onset of peritonitis and treatment failure after initial peritoneal dialysis.
