A recent modelling study estimated that there are 2800 deaths due to melioidosis in Thailand yearly. The Melioidosis Network (formed 2012) has been working closely with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) investigate and reduce burden this disease. Based on updated data, incidence is still high Northeast Thailand. More than 2000 culture-confirmed cases diagnosed general hospitals microbiology laboratories region each year. mortality rate around 35%. endemic throughout Thailand, but it not...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> We aimed to define the dosing and risk factors for death in patients undergoing twice-weekly hemodialysis. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective multi-center cohort study was conducted with one-year observation. Patients treated twice- or thrice-weekly hemodialysis were identified. Death first admission outcomes. spKt/V a factor of interest. <b><i>Results:</i></b> enrolled 504 169 patients....
Abstract Background Treatment of melioidosis comprises intravenous drugs for at least 10 days, followed by oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) 12 to 20 weeks. Oral TMP-SMX is recommended weeks in Australia and Thailand. Methods For this open-label, pragmatic, multicenter, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial, we enrolled patients with culture-confirmed who had received eradication treatment no clinical evidence active melioidosis. We randomly assigned stop (12-week regimen)...
This describes variations in facility peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent (PDE) culture techniques and local microbiology laboratory practices, competencies, quality assurance associated with peritonitis, a specific emphasis on factors culture-negative peritonitis (CNP).Peritonitis data were prospectively collected from 22 Thai PD centers between May 2016 October 2017 as part of the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Practice Patterns Study. The first cloudy bags participants suspected sent to...
Despite the implementation of a 'Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) First' policy in Thailand since 2008, nationwide PD practices and patients' outcomes have rarely been reported.As part multinational Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS), patients from 22 centres different geographic regions, sizes affiliations, representing facilities, enrolled starting May 2016. Demographic, clinical laboratory data were prospectively collected analysed.The pilot phases demonstrated excellent concordance...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) peritonitis in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) carries poor outcomes with reported mortality rates ranging from 15% to 58%.1-4 Although the 2022 International Society for PD (ISPD) Guidelines recommend anti-tuberculous therapy without mandatory catheter removal as primary treatment of caused by M. (2C), many practices still advocate and claim favorable this approach.1,2 Unfortunately, diagnosing initiating early tuberculous pose challenges due...
Fungal peritonitis, a relatively uncommon but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), is associated with high rates technique failure (40%) and mortality (15%–50%).1Miles R. Hawley C.M.

Spiritual well-being (SWB), an individual's understanding of the meaning and purpose life, may help patients with chronic or terminal illnesses cope their diseases. This study aimed to assess SWB in on peritoneal dialysis (PD), as well its relationship patient characteristics patient-reported outcomes (PRO).The data were obtained from questionnaires that formed part PD Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS). Measures used this scores derived WHO quality spirituality, religiousness...
Hema-Plus, a recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) or epoetin alfa has shown effectiveness in correction of anemia Thai population clinical practice. This study was aimed to demonstrate efficacy and safety under the evidence-based approach.To evaluate rHuEPO (Hema-Plus) for treatment over 12 wk patients with Stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) on peritoneal dialysis (PD).This an open-label, multi-center enroll 30 CKD identified start PD hemoglobin (Hb) less than 9.5 g/dL, serum ferritin...
Background Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Although a wide range of clinical manifestations from this organism are known, peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) has rarely been reported. Patients Methods Peritoneal patients all regions Thailand were eligible for the study if they had either fluid or effluent culture positive B. pseudomallei. Patient data obtained included baseline...
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely recognized as valuable predictors of clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our study aimed to explore the connections between patient-reported constipation and outcomes.We assessed patients across 22 facilities participating Thailand Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS) from 2014 2017. Constipation diagnosis utilized objective assessment tools such Bristol stool form scale (BSFS) a self-reported...
Abstract Introduction The impact of timing hemodialysis (HD) for end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated with twice‐weekly HD remains unclear. We aimed to determine the effects late initiation on short‐term mortality and hospitalization. Methods A multicenter cohort study was conducted in 11 centers Northeastern Thailand (HEmodialysis Network NorthEastern group). recruited adult ESRD who were more than 3 months had data eGFR at initiation. Clinical laboratory values time recruitment...
Amidst the ever-increasing global burden of acute kidney injury (AKI), ability to perform peritoneal dialysis (PD) is essential for many medical facilities. We, therefore, conducted a national survey assess barriers and obstacles PD usage in AKI further promote utility treating cases.
