Objective To explore the practice effect of the combination management of tertiary hospital and community hospital for home peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods A total of 50 patients of end-stage renal disease from December 2012 to May 2013 were involved in this study, including 26 males, and 24 females with the average age of 47.1±13.9. The patients were randomly divided into hospital group (30 patients) and combination group (20 patients). For the patients in the hospital group, the specialists take care of them with regular outpatient service and follow-up; for the patients in the combination group, they were taken care by doctors from both tertiary hospital and community hospital, while the community general practitioners were trained by the tertiary hospital regularly with peritoneal dialysis basic treatment and standardization management and communication. All the patients were managed for 9 months. Results At the end of the observation,the dialysis adequacy success rate, hemoglobin, blood potassium, phosphorus, calcium, albumin, CO2CP, blood pressure success rate, the incidence of peritonitis, and average monthly medical treatment expense between the two groups were not statistically different (P>0.05); the difference in cost of transportation was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The standardization manage of combination of tertiary hospital and community for patients with home peritoneal dialysis may reduces the patients' expense in transportation, and improve the community general practitioners' level of basic knowledge and indication of peritoneal dialysis.
