Cross-sectional study of quality of life and symptoms in chronic renal disease patients: The modification of diet in renal disease study

Quality of life of chronic renal disease patients is affected by several factors, depending on stage of disease, type of treatment and sociodemographic factors Objective: To assess the quality of life undergoing hemodialysis patients Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore during February to May-2019. Patients suffering from chronic renal disease were included in the study and uncooperative patients were excluded in the study. Total 100 samples of chronic renal disease patients were selected through non-probability convenient sampling technique. Patients were assessed through pre-tested questionnaire. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis Results: According to results 39% patients reported that they were suffering from depression, 47% patients of chronic renal disease were unemployed, 28% patients were malnourished and 98% patients were having 3 or more dialysis sessions per week. Also only 26% patients thought that quality of life of older patients is better while 74% considered it poor. Only 77% patients thought that quality of life of middle aged patients is better while 23% patients considered that quality of life of middle aged patients was poor. 42% patients thought that quality of life of young aged patients is better while 58%considered it poor. Conclusions: Malnutrition, unemployment and hypertension are the factors affecting the quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis in this study. The quality of life of middle aged patients was comparatively better.

The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis and to examine the clinical and demographic attributes associated with it.This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study, conducted in 2018, in which 367 patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis were recruited. Data were collected through a two-part anon-ymous, self-completed questionnaire. The first part contained questions regarding demographic, social, and clinical information, and the Greek version of Missoula–Vitas Quality of Life Index-15 (MVQoL-15) scale was used to assess QoL. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were applied. All reported p-values were two-tailed, and the statistical significance level was set at 0.05. Of the study participants, 62.1% were male, with a mean age of 61.80 ±15.11. Of the participants, 67.3% were living in urban areas and 59.1% were married. The majority of the Hemodialysis (HD) patients evaluated possessively all the domains of MVQoL except the wellbeing Domain. QoL was found to be influenced, among others, by age (0.001), occupation (0.002), education (0.003), and additional health problems (<0.001). The role of patient characteristics in QoL is an area of interest, and early and proper intervention is important to enhance QoL.

Background. Measuring health-related quality of life is considered an important outcome indicator in evaluating health-care interventions and treatments and in understanding the burden of diseases.Objectives. This study aimed at assessing quality of life among children with end-stage renal disease, either undergoing hemodialysis or had renal transplantation therapy and comparing it with healthy controls.Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2016 and May 2017 in Abo El-Reesh Pediatric Hospital using parent/child reports of generic module for QoL assessment: PedsQLTMInventory version 4 for both cases and controls. Disease-specific module: PedsQLTMESRD version 3 was used for ESRD cases. 55 ESRD cases and 86 controls were enrolled in the study.Results. Statistically significant difference between ESRD cases and controls regarding all aspects of QoL was found; total QoL mean score was 58.4 ± 15.3 and 86.8 ± 10 among cases and controls, respectively. All individual QoL domains were significantly worse in ESRD cases. Transplantation group had better Spearman’s correlation between child and parents’ scores which showed significant positive moderate correlation.Conclusions. ESRD and its treatment modalities are affecting negatively all aspects of quality of life; incorporating QoL assessment and management is highly recommended.

Objectives To study the prevalence of and factors related to caregiver burden amongst caregivers of end-stage renal disease patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in which data was collected from July 2019 to December 2019 from a total of 152 caregivers aged 18 years and over recruited into this study. Paid caregivers were excluded. The data collected included patient factors, caregiver factors, social support assessment, the Thai version of the Zarit Burden Interview for assessing caregiver burden along with the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire for assessing quality of life. . Results The prevalence of caregiver burden in cases of end-stage renal disease was 18.42%. Factors associated with caregiver burden included single or divorced status, inadequate income, owing money, need for more information and knowledge in caring for patients, low social support, and low quality of life (p < 0.05). Conclusion Caregiver burden screening should be done for individuals providing end-stage chronic kidney disease care including their need for additional information on patient care as well as their economic and social situation. It is important that caregivers be screened as well as supervised. Chiang Mai Medical Journal 2021;60(1):41-52. doi 10.12982/CMUMEDJ.2021.04
