The Impact

Oiabetes mellitus is the commonest cause of end-stage renal failure and is associated with considerable morbidity. Neuropathy is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, linked to the incidence of nephropathy and retinopathy. The prevalence of neuropathy increases with age and duration of diabetes. Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy is the main manifestation of neurological dam -age in diabetes, while autonomic neuropathy, a devastating complication, is also present in a large number of patients with long-term diabetes. Clinical features of autonomic neuropathy are mainly cardiovascular disorders and abnormal visceral function. One of the most important sequelae of neuropathy is the development of the insensitive foot at risk of ulceration, deformation, Charcot neuroarthropathy, and amputation. Prevention, education, and identification of the at-risk patient are the key elements in managing these severe complications. Oialysis, and mainly peritoneal dialysis, still remains the main renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRO) diabetic patients. It is obvious from many studies that diabetes and its complications are major risk factors associated with poorer survival rates, increased morbidity, and decreased quality of life. Few, if any, data are available specifically evaluating quality of life in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPO) diabetic patients. Fewer data are available estimating the impact of neuropathy on the quality of life of such patients. Specific studies must be carried out to further investigate quality-of-life issues and neuropathy in this vulnerable group of patients.

This paper has reviewed experience in Belgium with 99 patients on CAPD. They represent 6-7% of all dialysis patients in this country. The principle reasons for selecting CAPD were old age, problems with vascular access and major cardiovas cular complications. Hemoglobin and hematrocrit values increased in all patients but preliminary measurements of red cell volume in some of them showed no change. Most patients showed moderate increases in serum triglycerides. In three non-diabetic patients with marked elevation in triglyceride levels, insulin, given intraperitoneally, prevented further increases. The frequency of peritonitis was still high; the average rate was one episode every 7.6 patient months. Other major complications included hypotension, which improved after the substitution of dialysate with a higher sodium concentration, severe respiratory disease and gangrene of the legs. After a mean follow-up of seven months, the death rate was 18% and the rate of technical success was 70%. The fact that most of our patients were in the high-risk category should be kept in mind when comparing these results with those obtained with other modes of treatment. At the end of 1978, a total of 1195 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were treated on either home or hospital dialysis in Belgium. There were 50 dialysis centers for a total population of 9.8 million. Of these 1195 patients, only seven were treated with either continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (2-4) or intermittent peritoneal dialysis. Since then and until July 1, 1980 the number of patients treated with CAPD in Belgium has increased to 99 and this paper describes our experience with these patients.

Abstract The number of patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in Indonesia is growing. Increasing prevalence of hypertension and diabe­tes mellitus contributes to higher prevalence of ESRD. The majority of patients (94%) with ESRD are undertaking hemodialysis (HD) at public and private hospitals. However, continuous ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) has been prescribed to small portion of patients with ESRD. The aim of this study was to examine the cost effectiveness between HD and PD on ESRD patients. This study compared 78 HD patients at Hospital X in Bogor and 10 PD patients at Hospital Y in Jakarta. Patient’s quality of life (QoL) was measured using SF 36 questionnaires. The costs were measured by direct medical costs using CBGs prices, direct non-medical costs (transportation, food for patient and family), and indirect medical costs (opportunity costs). The study found that the HD cost per year per patient was IDR 133.4 million and the comparative cost for PD was IDR 81.7 million. The study found lower QoL of HD patients (46.2%) com­pared to QoL of PD patients (90%). In addition, PD patients had significant better quality of physical activities, emotional states, social function, and sanity. The study found the incremental costs for to HD to reach similar emotional states was IDR 2.0 million compared to PD and IDR 1.8 million for extra physical role gained. It is concluded that PD was more cost-effective than HD in achieving a certain level of quality of life among patients with ESRD in two hospitals in Indonesia. Abstrak Jumlah pasien Gagal Ginjal Stadium Akhir (GGSA) di Indonesia terus meningkat. Meningkatnya prevalensi hipertensi dan diabetes mellitus (DM) berkontribusi terhadap prevalensi kasus GGSA. Mayoritas pasien (94%) dengan GGSA menjalani terapi hemodialisis (HD) baik pada Rumah Sakit (RS) swasta ataupun pemerintah. Bagaimanapun, dialisis peritoneal ambula­tori berkelanjutan (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis/CAPD) telah diberlakukan pada sebagian kecil pasien dengan GGSA. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengukur efektivitas harga dari HD dan CAPD pada pasien GGSA. Studi memband­ingkan 78 pasien HD di RS X Bogor dan 10 pasien CAPD pada RS Y Jakarta. Kualitas hidup pasien diukur menggunakan kue­sioner 36. Biaya diukur dengan biaya langsung medis (menggunakan harga CBGs), biaya langsung non-medis (transportasi dan biaya makan), serta biaya medis tidak langsung (biaya kesempatan). Studi menunjukkan bahwa HD membutuhkan biaya Rp 133,4 juta per orang per tahunnya, dibandingkan dengan CAPD sebanyak Rp 81,7 juta. Studi menemukan kualitas hidup yang lebih rendah pada pasien HD (46,2%) dibanding CAPD (90%). Selain itu, pasien CAPD memiliki kualitas yang lebih baik dari segi aktivitas fisik, status emosi, fungsi sosial, dan kejiwaan. Studi menemukan bahwa harga inkremental HD, untuk men­capai status emosional yang sama, dibanding CAPD yakni sebanyak 2 juta rupiah; dan 1,8 juta rupiah untuk mencapai peran fisik bila HD dibanding dengan CAPD. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa CAPD lebih efektif dari segi biaya dibanding HD dalam mencapai tingkatan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik pada pasien-pasien GGSA di dua RS di Indonesia.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a progressive disease that causes renal failure and requires extended and long-term therapies. CKD patients need to choose one of these therapies to improve their quality of life. This study aims to investigate differences in the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Design and Methods: The study design used is similar to the cross-sectional design. Therefore, in this study observations were carried out, a EQ_5D life quality questionnaire sheet was administered to respondents, and a purposive sampling method was used. The total number of respondents was 250 and consisted of 125 hemodialysis and CAPD patients each.Results: The results obtained using the Mann Whitney method was a p-value (0.515)> α (0.05). These results also included five components, namely the ability to move/walk to an acceptable degree, adequate self-care, performance of usual activities, minimal amount of pain/discomfort during hemodialysis and CAPD, and acceptable levels of anxiety/sadness.Conclusions: This research concludes that there is no difference in the quality of life between CKD patients  undergoing hemodialysis and CAPD.

Background: It is well-known that acne vulgaris is a common malady of adolescence and is easily recognized Objective: To evaluate the level of impact among acne patients on their quality of life. Methods: A total of 200 patients studied. Acne severity was graded using Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) after the clinical diagnosis. All the patients went through self-administered questionnaire of Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) to fill out, to assess the reflection of patients’ experiences and perceptions. Result: Out of 200 patients, 114(57.0%) were females and 86(43.0%) were males. The maximum number of patients was in the age group of 16-20 years (142/200, 71%). Out of total 86 males, 50 (58.3%) had moderate to severe acne, whereas 62(54.38%) females had such a severe acne. 50.87% (58/114) of females had high CADI scores in comparison to only 27.9(24/86) of males. The impact on quality of life was more in the age-group of 21-30 years even though in this age group clinical severity of acne was mild to moderate only. Conclusion: Study found that individuals with acne had profound emotional, as well as, social impact on their quality of life.

Diabetes is a common chronic disease that is considered as one of the fastest-growing health problems in the world. Adherence to medications could be an important factor in reducing these complications and improving the quality of life. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of treatment adherence on health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out among 368 diabetes patients. General Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess the adherence level and EuroQol-5D to assess the quality of life. The results show that 19%, 21%, and 23% of patients had maintained low medication adherence due to patient’s intentional or unintentional behavior due to additional diseases or pills burden and due to financial constraints, respectively. Overall, 43% (n=162) participants had maintained high medication adherence, and 37% (n=138) had maintained low medication adherence to antidiabetic drugs. Nearly one-third (31%) of patients with high overall adherence had perfect health state in comparison with 4% among patients with low adherence. Further, the lower proportion (21%) of patients with high overall adherence had perfect health state in comparison with that among patients with low adherence (34%). In addition to the overall adherence, the association was statistically significant for the domains related to non-adherence due to the patient’s intentional or unintentional behavior (p-value 0.001) and non-adherence due to additional diseases or pills burden (p-value 0.001) after taking into account of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the policymakers should establish an intervention to improve adherence to diabetic treatment, and thus improve the quality of life for the type 2 diabetic patients.

Introduction:  The choice of dialysis modality has become an important decision that affects not only the country's health policy in the management of chronic end stage renal failure, but also the quality of life of patients and their survival. Peritoneal dialysis is an alternative for the treatment of these patients. The objective of our work is to report the epidemiological, clinical and biological results in the unit of PD, UHC of Rabat and to clarify the obstacles to the development of PD in Morocco.  Material and Methods:  We conducted a descriptive retrospective study in our PD unit from July 2006 to July 2017, including all patients who were in PD by choice or necessity and enrolled in the French Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF).  Results: In 10 years, 159 patients were placed in PD, with an average age of 50.44 +/- 17.42 years and a sex ratio of 1.36. The indication for placement of setting in PD was by choice in 34% of the cases, social in 52% and medical in 14% of cases. Mechanical complications were dominated by catheter migrations. Infectious complications were represented by peritonitis, caused by poor of hygiene in 42% of cases. Conclusion: The obstacles to the development of PD are the lack of knowledge of the technique by the patients, as well as the prejudices or myths about the technique.
