Patients initiating APD in medical centers during 2016\u20132018 (conventional APD) were compared with those starting RPM-APD equipped with a remote monitoring device during 2020\u20132022. Baseline covariates were balanced using inverse probability of treatment weighting. The primary outcomes were all-cause death and hemodialysis transfer. Secondary outcomes included peritonitis, major adverse cardiac events, and hospitalization. Patients were followed until outcome occurrence, death, hemodialysis transfer, kidney transplantation, or the end of follow-up (December 31, 2019, for conventional APD and December 31, 2023, for RPM-APD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 2477 patients (RPM-APD,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      =1258; conventional APD,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      =1219), the mean age was 53.6 years, 54.6% were male, and the mean follow-up duration was 2.0 years. After inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment, the RPM-APD group was associated with lower risks of all-cause death (4.4 versus 5.3 events per 100 person-years; hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69 to 0.99) and hemodialysis transfer (12.7 versus 15.1 events per 100 person-years; subdistribution hazard ratio 0.86, 95% CI, 0.77 to 0.96). The risks of peritonitis and major adverse cardiac events were similar between groups, whereas patients receiving RPM-APD experienced significantly fewer annual hospitalizations (1.6 versus 2.1 times; rate ratio 0.70, 95% CI, 0.68 to 0.73).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this Taiwan nationwide real-world cohort study with long-term follow-up, RPM-APD was associated with improved patient survival, reduced hemodialysis transfer, and fewer annual hospitalizations compared with conventional APD.
