Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine compliance with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) prescription. DESIGN: In the first part of the study, we examined the deliveries of dialysate to our CAPD patients (n = 67) between 1992 and 1995 and compared these to the CAPD prescription. In the second part of the study, we performed two inventory checks in a cohort of patients (n = 26) in one urban Canadian center. Compliance was defined as using more than 90% of prescribed dialysate. RESULTS: Based on dialysate deliveries, 95% of our CAPD patients were compliant. Based on home inventory checks, 12% of patients were noncompliant. CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with CAPD prescription is remarkably good in our patient population. These data contrast with American data and could partially explain differences in mortality rates for CAPD patients between the two countries.
