Remote patient monitoring (RPM) may improve technical survival rates for patients undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), according to a study published in the February issue. kidney international report.
Francisco Javier Centeras Pérez and colleagues from the Albacete General Hospital in Spain evaluated the association between RPM use and clinical outcomes in patients with APD. The analysis included 176 APD patients with RPM and 56 APD patients without RPM.
Researchers found that RPM was associated with lower mortality rates (hazard ratios). [HR], 0.08) and higher technical survival rate (hazard ratio, 0.25). Even after propensity score matched analysis, RPM continued to be associated with improved technique survival (hazard ratio, 0.23).
“In this study, we agreed that RPM has the potential to improve survival of the technique. This improvement in PD survival is primarily due to Comply with“However, due to the nature of this study, this fact cannot be proven. Therefore, it would increase the possibility of identifying mechanical problems at an early stage, which is an important goal of this type of therapy,” the authors wrote. I am writing.
