The objective of the study is to evaluate regular peritoneal ultrafiltration treatment compared to a standard conservative approach in NYHA III\u2013IV CHF patients. In particular, the primary endpoints of the study were the major event-free survival and the total days of medical care per month (which consist of the days of hospitalization and the number of outpatient visits). <b><i>Material and Methods:<\/i><\/b> This is a retrospective case-control study. Twenty-four patients were included in the present study. Twelve consecutive patients were treated with peritoneal treatment (group A) and 12 matched for age, gender, and severity of disease with a standard approach. Patients were observed over a maximum period of 18 months. Information on events, hospitalizations, and number of visits was collected during follow-up. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> During the follow-up, we observed a major event in 4 patients in group A (33.3%) and in 8 patients in group B (66.7%). In group B, we observed 7 deaths and 1 ICD shock, while in group A, 3 deaths and 1 ICD shock. The number of visits per month was significantly lower in patients treated with the peritoneal method (1.2 [0.4\u20134.1] vs. 2.5 [2.0\u20133.1]; <i>p<\/i> = 0.03). The total days of medical care was significantly lower in group A (2.0 [1.1\u20135.5] vs. 4.4 [3.0\u20138.7]; <i>p<\/i> = 0.034). A multiple event analysis according to the Andersen-Gill model showed a significant event-free survival for group A. During the follow-up, we did not observe any episode of peritonitis in the treated group. <b><i>Conclusions:<\/i><\/b> Our study shows that the peritoneal technique is a good therapeutic tool in well-selected patients with CHF. In accordance with prior experience, this intervention has not only an important and significant clinical impact but also potential economic and social consequences. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000518347","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,2]],"date-time":"2021-11-02T22:00:48Z","timestamp":1635890448000},"page":"683-689","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Preliminary Case-Control Study: Peritoneal Approach in Congestive Heart Failure Treatment"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Ria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gianluca","family":"Borio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Rugiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabella","family":"Corino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luisa","family":"Zanolla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcello","family":"Napoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"De Pascalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2008.07.051"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000116764.53225.A9"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejheart.2007.04.003"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmoa1210357"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/JN.2013.11639"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfl193"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000047399"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2011.00052"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000047397"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.1994.414"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjhf\/hfs035"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2012.00290"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000380915"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfr756"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjhf\/hfs013"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfp484"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfr756"}],"container-title":["Blood Purification"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/518347","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/518347","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:14:34Z","timestamp":1745421274000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000518347"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,2]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,2]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000518347","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0253-5068","1421-9735"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0253-5068"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1421-9735"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,2]]}}}
