Abstract

Background

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter malposition is one of the complications of renal replacement therapy. This study aimed to determine the preoperative factors that cause PD catheter malposition.

Methods

The prospective cohort study included patients who underwent PD catheter insertion surgery and had preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scans. We compared preoperative and intraoperative factors between the lower depth catheter group (group L) and upper depth catheter group (group U), and preoperative and intraoperative factors between the posterior catheter group (group P) and anterior catheter group (group A). In addition, PD catheter obstruction requiring surgical intervention in each group was followed up for 1 year.

Results

A total of 150 patients were categorized into groups L (n = 77) and U (n = 73), or groups P (n = 107) and A (n = 43). Body mass index (BMI; P = 0.02), subcutaneous fat area (P = 0.02), and rate of previous abdominal surgery (P = 0.01) were significantly lower in group L than in group U. In terms of anterior catheter position, females had more-anterior catheter positions. The time to PD catheter obstruction requiring surgical intervention (P = 0.03) was significantly lower in group U than in group L.

Conclusions

High BMI, high subcutaneous fat area, high subcutaneous fat thickness, and previous abdominal surgery were identified as preoperative factors that cause the PD catheter to have an upper depth. Female sex was a preoperative influencing factor for the anterior PD catheter position.
