OBJECTIVE: Over the past 10 years, we have collected data on pediatric patients less than 16 years of age from the National Registry of CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis). We present our experience with this population. DESIGN: The database details the patient number, age, weight, height, outcome, cause of death, reason for terminating CAPD therapy, peritonitis, and catheter survival. PATIENTS: Of the 434 patients (239 males, 195 females), 37 patients (8.5%) were under 1 year of age and 164 patients (37.8%) were under 6 years of age. About half of the patients were less than 20 kg in weight, clearly indicating that CAPD was the treatment of choice in young children. The duration on CAPD for these patients was less than 2 years for 233 patients (54%), and was 5 years or more in 48 patients (11%). RESULTS: The outcome of the total patient population of 434 as of May, 1991, is as follows: 229 patients (52.8%) were being successfully treated with CAPD, 47 patients (10.8%) died, and 78 patients (18.0%) received a kidney transplantation. The patient survival rate was 85.6% at 3 years and 81.7% at 5 years. The technique survival rate was 74.9% at 3 years and 63.5% at 5 years. The rate of peritonitis was one episode over 28.6 patient-months. The mean catheter duration was 1.68 years. Peritonitis rate, catheter survival rate, and the rate of tunnel infection were worse in children less than 6 years of age than in older children. CONCLUSION: The excellent patient and technique survival rates indicate that CAPD is an effective treatment for children with end-stage renal disease in Japan. The high infection rates in younger children indicate that extra careful management is needed for this young age group.
