NCT ID NCT01293799
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether regular retraining on infection prevention can lower peritonitis rates in new peritoneal dialysis patients. Over 700 adults from eight European countries were randomly assigned to either standard care or extra testing and retraining on dialysis techniques. The goal was to see if better knowledge and skills could prevent infections and reduce hospital stays.
