To prevent peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection, components of self-catheter care have been emphasized. However, studies on the effectiveness of home recording for the prevention of PD-related infections are limited. This study aimed to examine the association between keeping home records of catheter exit site and incidence of PD-related infections. ⋯ This study could not prove that keeping home records of patients' catheter exit site is associated with a lower incidence of PD-related infections.
