Abstract
The management of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has been constantly evolving over the last decade with the development of targeted approaches. In this field, telemedicine and remote monitoring are based on the availability of new cyclers that allow for bidirectional communication (between patient and physician) and for the application of the Sharesource cloud-based platform. These technologies allow patients with ESKD to undergo automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) at home. However, these approaches are not well standardized and largely applied yet. Therefore, this study aimed to elaborate a protocol for the utilization of the Sharesource platform to facilitate the practical management of patients treated with APD. A series of expert meetings were held between September 2022 and January 2023 in Italy. The participants (ten nephrologists and five nurses) from nine Italian public dialysis centers shared their opinions, examined the current scientific literature in the field, and reviewed the key characteristics of the Sharesource system to achieve a common position on this topic. A detailed and practical document containing experts' opinions and suggestions on the use of the Sharesource platform for the management of patients treated with APD was produced. This expert opinion might represent a new useful instrument in clinical practice for managing patients undergoing home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) through the Sharesource platform, which is valid not only for Italy. These recommendations pave the way to novel patient-centered and personalized therapeutic approaches for ESKD and highlight the advantages of telemedicine and remote monitoring in the management of patients with ESKD undergoing PD and its positive impact on their quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to explore feasibility and effect of hospital-community online management on the medication management of elderly peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during COVID-19. METHODS A total of 160 patients receiving PD were randomly divided into the control (n = 80, outpatient follow-up management mode) and observation (n = 80, hospital-community online management mode) groups. The self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale [GSES]), medication adherence (8-item Morisky medication adherence scale [MMAS-8]), quality of life (kidney disease quality of life short form [KDQOL-SF]), and degree of depression (beck depression inventory [BDI]) before and after the intervention were compared. RESULTS After the intervention, the scores of GSES (4.20 ± 0.46 vs. 3.09 ± 0.33), MMAS-8 (5.82 ± 0.92 vs. 5.13 ± 1.25), and KDQOL-SF were significantly higher, whereas the BDI score (9.50 ± 2.86 vs. 12.08 ± 2.95) was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Hospital-community online management presents good effects in the medication management of PD patients with ESRD.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is performed as a home-based treatment and in this context, telemedicine has been proven helpful for improving clinicians' surveillance and maintaining PD patients in their home setting. The new e-health devices make remote patient monitoring (RPM) for automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) treatment possible, evaluating the data at the end of every treatment and adapting the prescription at distance if necessary. This paper aims to share a method for improving clinical surveillance and enabling PD patients to receive their treatment at home. In the present case series, we delineate the clinical protocol of the Vicenza PD Center regarding patient characteristics, timing, and the purpose of the APD-RPM. We present the Vicenza PD Center's experience, illustrating its application through three case reports as exemplars. Telemedicine helps to carefully allocate healthcare resources while removing the barriers to accessing care. However, there is a risk of data overload, as some data might not be analyzed because of an increased workload for healthcare professionals. A proactive physician's attitude towards the e-health system has to be supported by clinical instructions and legislative rules. International and national guidelines may suggest which patients should be candidates for RPM, which parameters should be monitored, and with what timing. According to our experience, we suggest that the care team should define a workflow that helps in formulating a correct approach to RPM, adequately utilizing resources. The workflow has to consider the different needs of patients, in order to assure frequent remote control for incident or unstable patients, while prevalent and stable patients can perform their home treatment more independently, helped by periodic and deferred clinical supervision.

Abstract
Objective This study was conducted to understand the influencing factors for home peritoneal dialysis patients choosing APD and to provide a scientific basis for improving the completion rate of APD treatment and the follow-up of peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods The study was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. A total of 588 patients on peritoneal dialysis were randomly selected from 6 regions in Fujian Province in southern China using a stratified cluster sampling method. Results The mean age of the patients were 56.5 ± 14.73 years. In the univariate analysis, knowledge, user experience and family support were the factors that affected patients' choice of APD (all P < 0.05) and were positively correlated with the treatment utilization rate. In the multivariate analysis, 3 factors (treatment with APD, knowledge of APD, and family support) remained significantly associated not choosing APD. The selection rate for APD was 2.594 times higher among patients who had received APD than among patients who had never received APD. The selection rate for patients with "a lot of knowledge" about APD was 10.75 times that of patients with "no knowledge". Conclusion Patients' knowledge of APD, experience in application and family support were the main factors affecting the choice of APD as a treatment mode (P < 0.05) and were positively correlated with the treatment utilization rate. Further studies are needed to improve the APD treatment completion rates by modulation the above-mentioned factors. Relevance to Clinical Practice This study provides scientific evidence for improving APD treatment completion rates and improving patient quality of life.

Pediatr Nephrol 2022:10.1007/s00467-022-05828-3. [PMID: 36449100 PMCID: PMC9709751 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-022-05828-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote patient monitoring (RPM) for automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) may improve clinical outcomes. Paediatric data, however, remain extremely scarce. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study of children (0-18 years) receiving APD with cloud-based RPM over two 24-week periods (pre- and post-RPM). Primary outcomes were unplanned hospitalizations and fluid management. Children receiving APD without RPM (non-RPM) were included as control. RESULTS Seven patients (6 females) receiving APD were enrolled in the RPM programme at 11.3 years (IQR 2.6-17.1). Main indications for RPM included history of fluid overload (n = 3) and non-adherence (n = 2). Ten children were included in the non-RPM group (6 females; 16.9 years, IQR 12.8-17.6). Four patients (57.1%, 95% CI 22.5-100%) experienced fewer unplanned hospitalizations and 5 patients (71.4%, 95% CI 34.1-100%) had shorter hospital stays during the post-RPM period. The hospitalization rates and length of stay were reduced by 45% and 42%, respectively. The higher hospitalization rates among the RPM group, compared to the non-RPM group, were no longer observed following implementation of RPM. There was a significant increase in ultrafiltration (565.6 ± 248.7 vs. 501.7 ± 286.6 ml/day, p = 0.03) and reduction in systolic blood pressure (114.1 ± 12.6 vs. 119.9 ± 11.19 mmHg, p = 0.02) during the post-RPM period. All patients demonstrated satisfactory adherence. Although quality of life (PedsQL 3.0 ESRD module) was not different pre- and post-RPM, all patients agreed in the questionnaires that the use of RPM improved their quality of life and sense of security. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, RPM in children receiving APD is associated with fewer and shorter unplanned hospitalizations, improved fluid management and favourable adherence to PD. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
