Our study aimed to explore the connections between patient\u2010reported constipation and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>We assessed constipation in patients across 22 facilities participating in the Thailand Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS) from 2014 to 2017. Constipation diagnosis utilized objective assessment tools such as the Bristol stool form scale (BSFS) and a self\u2010reported questionnaire known as the constipation severity score (CSS). The BSFS is a 7\u2010level scale that visually inspects feces based on texture and morphology, while the CSS measures constipation duration and severity using a 5\u2010point Likert scale for various factors. We employed Cox proportional hazards model regression to determine the associations between constipation and clinical outcomes, including mortality, hemodialysis (HD) transfer and peritonitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Among 975 randomly selected PD patients from 22 facilities, 845 provided written informed consent, and 729 completed CSS questionnaire. Constipation was prevalent in the PD population (13%), particularly among older patients, those who were caregiver dependent, had diabetes and poorer nutritional status (indicated by lower time\u2010averaged serum albumin, potassium, creatinine and phosphate concentrations). Twenty\u2010seven percent of which experiencing symptoms of constipation for over a year. Notably, self\u2010reported constipation at baseline was significantly associated with a shorter time to first peritonitis and higher rates of peritonitis and death. However, no significant association was found between constipation and HD transfer after adjusting for various factors, including age, gender, PD vintage, comorbidities, shared frailty by study sites and serum albumin.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Patient\u2010reported constipation independently correlated with increased risks of peritonitis and all\u2010cause mortality, though no such correlation was observed with HD transfer. These findings underscore the need for further investigation to identify effective interventions for constipation in PD patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nep.14224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]],"date-time":"2023-08-03T12:28:31Z","timestamp":1691065711000},"page":"35-47","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Constipation
