Comparative effectiveness of lactulose and sennosides for the prevention of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis: an open-label, randomized, active-controlled trial by Kajohnsak Noppakun, Tichanun Narongchai, Romanee Chaiwarith, Uraiwan Wongsawad, Surachet Vongsanim, Chidchanok Ruengorn, Surapon Nochaiwong

“…The incidence of adverse events was not substantially different between the two groups; however, diarrhoea was more frequent in the lactulose group (38.0% vs. 18.0%; p = .030) than in the sennosides group.Conclusions Treatment with lactulose is not more effective than sennosides and cannot be routinely recommended for the prevention of peritonitis among the PD population.TRIAL REGISTRATIONThai Clinical Trial Registry (clinicaltrials.in.th); ID: TCTR20171012001KEY MESSAGETo the best of our knowledge, no randomized controlled trial that compares the efficacy and safety profiles of lactulose versus sennosides for the prevention of PD-related peritonitis among the PD population has been conducted.In this open-label, randomized, active-controlled trial, treatment with lactulose is not more effective than sennosides in the prevention of PD-related peritonitis, and it could increase the risk of bacterial PD-related peritonitis.Further studies with a larger sample size by incorporated real-world evidence are needed to confirm our findings and to explore strategies to prevent peritonitis among PD patients.…”
