“…Objectives Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal timing for the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) after catheter placement.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Exact date of data collection From inception till July 31, 2023.Main outcome measures To assess the outcomes and safety of unplanned PD initiation (<14/7 days after catheter insertion) in cohort studies.Results Fifteen studies involving 3054 participants were included. (1) The risk of unplanned initiation of leakage and Obstruction was no difference in both the break-in period (BI) <14 and BI < 7 groups. (2) Catheter displacement was more likely to occur in the emergency initiation group with BI < 7. (3) No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding infectious complications. (4) There was no difference in transition to HD between patients with BI < 7 and BI < 14 d.Conclusion Infectious complications of unplanned initiation of peritoneal dialysis did not differ from planned initiation. …”
