Objective To compare the incidences of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis among HIV and non-HIV patients, and to analyze the risk factors of PD-associated peritonitis. Methods End-stage renal disease patients with HIV infection who newly started PD in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively included, and non-HIV PD patients in the same period were included as controls at a ratio of 1 to 4. The risk factors of PD-associated peritonitis were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and COX regression analysis were used to compare the peritonitis-free survival between HIV group and non-HIV group. Results A total of 60 PD patients were included. The average follow-up time was 31.2±21.3 months. Peritonitis occurred in 7 HIV patients (58.33%) and 8 non-HIV patients (16.67%). Logistic regression analysis showed that HIV infection (P=0.018) and high platelet (>150×109/L) (P=0.032) were independent risk factors for PD-associated peritonitis. The incidence of PD-associated peritonitis in HIV patients significantly increased (HR=10.944, 95%CI 1.503 to 79.707). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 5-year peritonitis-free survival of non-HIV group was significantly higher than that of HIV group (75.7% vs. 31.1%) (P=0.003). Multivariate COX survival analysis showed that the 5-year accumulative risk of peritonitis in HIV PD patients was 5.896 times (95%CI 1.508 to 23.043, P=0.01) higher than that of the non-HIV PD patients. Conclusion HIV infection is an independent risk factor for PD-associated peritonitis.
