The prevention of peritonitis is of major concern for successful long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPO) treatment. The effect of a Y-systern on peritonitis Incidence and patient morbidity was observed in a comparative, retrospective single-center analysis over a period of 5 years. The Integrated disconnect system prolonged the peritonitis-free period from 1:11 patient-months, observed with the conventional system, to greater than 1:50 patient-months. The rate of hospitalization was reduced by 45%.
