Activity based costing system of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis under the Universal Coverage Scheme in Thailand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods The cost of CAPD per patient was computed using activity based costing (ABC) approach. We collected costs and outcomes data during the period from 1 January to 31 December 2011. One-way sensitivity analysis was adopted to evaluate the effect of factors that changes CAPD cost estimated. These factors included the difference in the hours physicians were available for clinical time; and drugs cost used in patients having diabetes mellitus (DM) and in non-DM patients. In addition to total patients, the survived and compliant patients were taken into account as the study’s outcomes.

Correlation between Ultrafiltration Coefficient and Effective Lymphatic Absorption Rate in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Possible Paradigm Shift
Background: The relative contribution of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a critical issue, particularly in patients with ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Based on routine results obtained from the PD Adequest 2.0 software, the present study aimed to re-evaluate the separate effects of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption ...

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for the patients with end stage renal failure. In recent years, the mortality rate of patients under this treatment has decreased; however, long-term survival is still an important challenge for health systems. The present study aimed to predict the survival of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. ...
متن کاملOpsonic activity of intravenous immunoglobulin preparations against Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Peritoneal dialysis effluent collected from patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had no opsonic activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and contained low concentrations of IgG and C3 (roughly equal to those found in 0.5% normal human serum). An intravenous immunoglobulin preparation that showed no opsonic activity against the same organism, on its own or when added ...

Background: Laparoscopic techniques for the placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters are becoming increasingly popular. Recently, with the improvements in laparoscopic surgery, various methods for the insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters have been reported, indicating that the laparoscopic insertion is preferred over the open and percutaneous techniques. The aim of this study was to int...
