Abstract: Purpose: Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is the most serious complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), which considerably reduces the patient’s quality of life, leading to patients discontinuing PD. Considering these negative effects, it is necessary to systematically review and determine the risk factors of EPS. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China Biology Medicine (CBM) were searched from their inception to January 1st, 2022, and the bibliographies from the citations of relevant articles were manually searched. The ROBINS-I (Risk of Bias in Non-randomized studies of Interventions) tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. Results: Ten studies involving 12595 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The results revealed that a younger age at PD onset (MD = -7.70, 95% CI, -11.53~-3.86), a higher transporter (MD = 0.13, 95% CI, 0.09~0.18), a longer PD duration (SMD = 1.15, 95% CI, 0.68~1.61), a longer peritonitis duration (MD = 12.66, 95% CI, 3.85~21.47), and history of glomerulonephritis (OR = 1.42, 95% CI, 1.02~1.97) were significant risk factors for EPS. However, sex, use of icodextrin, the number of peritonitis episodes, and history of multicystic kidney disease did not affect the risk of EPS. Conclusions: This review provides a scientific basis for further understanding the etiology of PD-related EPS and improving prevention strategies. More high-quality studies are necessary to validate this paper’s findings.
