Table 3

Comparison of oxacillin and gentamicin resistance in the presence and absence of possible resistance risk factors (N = 127).

Possible risk factors	Resistance to oxacillin (%)		values	Resistance to gentamicin (%)		values
	Factor present (%)	Factor absent (%)		Factor present (%)	Factor absent (%)
Diabetes mellitus	49	42	0.57	47	42	0.70
First CoNS peritonitis^§	43	61	0.07	41	61	0.05
Recent hospitalization	56	38	0.04	55	36	0.04
Recent systemic antibiotics^#	55	43	0.16	57	39	0.04
Serum albumin ≤30 g/L^£	50	39	0.29	48	39	0.40

^§Patients had no history of CoNS peritonitis before the current episode of peritonitis. Hospitalization within 3 months before the onset of CoNS peritonitis. ^#History of systemic antibiotic use within 3 months before the onset of CoNS peritonitis. ^£Serum albumin level taken on the day patients first presented to the hospital with symptoms of PD-related peritonitis.
