Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

This project enrolls healthcare professionals rather than patients, so children on peritoneal dialysis are not directly enrolled as participants.

Probably not a fit

Children who are not treated with peritoneal dialysis or who receive care outside participating European centers will not be enrolled and will not directly benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational survey asking healthcare professionals in European pediatric dialysis centers about their use and measurement of intraperitoneal pressure (IPP) in children on peritoneal dialysis. Respondents will report measurement techniques, frequency, thresholds used, and how IPP results influence dialysis prescriptions. The study collects descriptive data only and does not change patient care. The aim is to document current practice variation and identify gaps that could guide future standardization and research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help standardize IPP measurement and lead to more consistent dialysis prescriptions and potentially fewer complications for children on peritoneal dialysis.

How similar studies have gone: Adult observational studies have linked higher IPP (around 13–14 cmH2O) to worse outcomes, but pediatric evidence is limited and this survey is relatively novel for pediatric centers.
