Description
Summary:Objective This article is a general overview about artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms in the domain of peritoneal dialysis (PD).Methods We searched studies that used AI/ML in PD, which were classified according to the type of algorithm and PD issue.Results Studies were divided into (a) predialytic stratification, (b) peritoneal technique issues, (c) infections, and (d) complications prediction. Most of the studies were observational and majority of them were reported after 2010.Conclusions There is a number of studies proved that AI/ML algorithms can predict better than conventional statistical method and even nephrologists. However, the soundness of AI/ML algorithms in PD still requires large databases and interpretation by clinical experts. In the future, we hope that AI will facilitate the management of PD patients, thus increasing the quality of life and survival.
