a The quality of the studies was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale comprising of seven items, each scoring either 1 or zero point (Table S3). b This study uncovered the following characteristics of the entire study sample: mean age 45.3 years, 39.1% male (n = 9) and duration of PD treatment 15.9 months. c CCBs (number of CCB-treated patients with chyloperitoneum versus total number of CCB-treated patients) included in the study were manidipine (15/36), benidipine (2/2), nisoldipine (1/11), nifedipine (1/159), nitrendipine (0/2), nilvadipine (0/7), nicardipine (0/25), barnidipine (0/1) and diltiazem (0/8). Abbreviation: CCB, calcium channel blocker; CP, chyloperitoneum; PD, peritoneal dialysis; P, prospective; QA, quality assessment; R, retrospective; SD, standard deviation; T, turbid; TGs, triglycerides.
