Improve Compliance in Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Machine With SHARESOURCE

The Impact of Telemonitoring on Compliance and Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Automated Peritoneal Dialysis With SHARESOURCE

This study is to investigate the non-compliance rate of patients undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis by using automated peritoneal dialysis with SHARESOURCE software, and to evaluate if telemonitoring can improve peritoneal dialysis compliance and outcomes in the observation period.

The non-compliance of patients receiving automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is around 10-20%, and was believed to be under-estimated. Recently, a two-way telehealth system, SHARESOURCE software, provide practitioners real-time monitoring and recording of the therapy of APD.

By using this APD with SHARESOURCE software, we want to investigate the non-compliance rate of patients undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis, want to see if it can improve peritoneal dialysis compliance and outcomes in the observation period.

Inclusion Criteria:

• stable received peritoneal dialysis for over 1 year. Use automated peritoneal dialysis machine regularly by him/herself.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Acute hospitalization events due to acute coronary syndrome, stroke, heart failure, liver cirrhosis, systemic infection in 1 month.
• Life expectancy <1 year
• Peritoneal dialysis prescriptions will be scheduled or expected to change in 3 months
