U.S., Jan. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07339709) titled 'Intraperitoneal Pressure Measurements Survey in Pediatric Centers' on Jan. 05.
Brief Summary: Intraperitoneal pressure (IPP) is an objective measurement used to assess tolerance to fluid volume. IPP has been shown to be strongly correlated with intraperitoneal dialysate volume as well as anthropometric parameters. In observational studies conducted in adults, an IPP greater than 13-14 cmH2O was associated with an increased risk of peritonitis, initiation of hemodialysis, or death.
Measuring IPP is therefore a tool to optimize dialysis prescriptions. However, this measurement is not well standardized, and there is limited scientific...
