The Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) technique failure remains a significant barrier to improving the outcomes for PD patients and increasing the uptake of PD worldwide. The Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS) has been developed to identify variations in clinical practices and potentially modifiable causes of technique failure with the objective to improve PD outcomes.
