What this trial studies

The PREDICT project focuses on the insertion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters using a percutaneous strategy, which can be performed at the bedside under local anesthesia. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo general anesthesia due to severe heart failure or other health issues. The study aims to gather demographic and clinical data from adult patients requiring PD catheter insertion between March 2023 and March 2026. By comparing this approach to traditional laparoscopic techniques, the project seeks to expand access to PD for more patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enable more patients with end-stage kidney disease to receive timely and effective peritoneal dialysis.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar percutaneous techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
