Check List to Improve Patient Self-care and Product Defect Report in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
Sponsor: Chulalongkorn University
Summary
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) has been the main method of treatment for Thai End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients under the "PD First" policy of the Universal Coverage (UC) scheme. The increased demand has resulted in not only supply chain logistical problems, but also product quality concerns. Peritonitis, the main complication and checklist cause of failure in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) patients, could be caused by a product defect. This cluster randomized trial will be conducted in 22 randomly selected PD centers in Thailand to assess if a checklist intervention could reduce peritonitis rate and increase the number of checklist product defect report.
