The study aimed to examine effect of chlorhexidine dressing in the prevention of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection in PD patients.
This single-center pilot study recruited 50 incident PD patients to use weekly chlorhexidine dressing. The primary outcome was exit-site/tunnel infection rate. Secondary outcomes were peritonitis rate, time to first PD-related infection, infection-related hospitalization, technique and patient survival, adverse events, and chlorhexidine dressing acceptability. These clinical outcomes were compared with those of a historical cohort (2016-2017) using daily gentamicin cream.
A total of 50 patients were recruited to use chlorhexidine and followed up for one year. The exit-site/tunnel infection rate was 0.09 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-0.22) and peritonitis rate was 0.07 (95% CI 0.01-0.19) episodes per patient-year with chlorhexidine dressing. The 1-year infection-free survival rates for exit-site/tunnel infection and peritonitis were 92% and 94%, respectively. The 1-year technique and patient survival rates were 86% and 96%, respectively. Overall, 12% of participants developed localized contact dermatitis with chlorhexidine. Most participants (73%) reported that chlorhexidine dressings were very acceptable. Compared to a historical cohort using gentamicin cream (n = 238), the chlorhexidine group had similar exit-site/tunnel infection rates (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.65, 95% CI 0.22-1.92) but had lower peritonitis rates (IRR 0.24, 95% CI 0.07-0.77), and lower PD infection-related hospitalization rates (IRR 0.21, 95% CI 0.06-0.69) after adjusting for age, sex, race, primary kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus.
Weekly chlorhexidine dressing was associated with acceptable PD-related infection outcomes and was well-accepted by patients, although had a 12% rate of delayed localized contact dermatitis.

本研究旨在探讨氯己定敷料在预防腹膜透析(PD)患者相关感染中的作用。
这项单中心的初步研究招募了 50 例新诊断的 PD 患者,每周使用氯己定敷料。主要结局为出口/隧道感染率。次要结局包括腹膜炎发生率、首次 PD 相关感染时间、感染相关住院率、技术和患者生存率、不良事件和氯己定敷料可接受性。这些临床结局与使用每日庆大霉素乳膏的历史队列(2016-2017 年)进行比较。
共招募了 50 例患者使用氯己定,并随访了一年。氯己定组的出口/隧道感染率为 0.09(95%置信区间[CI] 0.02-0.22),腹膜炎发生率为 0.07(95%CI 0.01-0.19)例/患者-年。出口/隧道感染和腹膜炎的 1 年无感染生存率分别为 92%和 94%。1 年技术和患者生存率分别为 86%和 96%。总体而言,12%的参与者出现局部接触性皮炎。大多数参与者(73%)报告氯己定敷料非常可接受。与使用庆大霉素乳膏的历史队列(n=238)相比,氯己定组的出口/隧道感染率相似(发病率比[IRR]0.65,95%CI 0.22-1.92),但腹膜炎率较低(IRR 0.24,95%CI 0.07-0.77),PD 感染相关住院率较低(IRR 0.21,95%CI 0.06-0.69),调整年龄、性别、种族、原发性肾脏疾病和糖尿病后。
每周使用氯己定敷料与可接受的 PD 相关感染结局相关,且患者易于接受,但有 12%的患者出现迟发性局部接触性皮炎。
该研究于 2018 年 1 月 23 日在 www.clinicaltrials.gov 上注册,注册号为 NCT03406520。
