Abstract Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the last stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is necessary for sustaining life. Assessment of QoL of ESRD patients has become an essential tool to measure how the disease affects patients’ lives, and to develop better plans of care. Little is known about QoL in patients with CKD before RRT. This study aims to examine the various socio-demographic and other factors that affect the daily QoL of ESRD patients on haemodialysis (HD).Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr Selma Dialysis Center, Khartoum, Sudan from September to December 2018. A total of 138 adult patients on chronic dialysis were recruited in this observational study. The QoL was assessed using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form questionnaire (KDQoL-SF™).Results: Out of 138 enrolled patients, there were 105 patients (76.1%) had a good QoL and 33 patients (23.9%) had a poor QoL.Patients with a poor QoL had an average age of 42.8 ± 12.9 years. The good-QoL group had an average age of 46.9 ± 14.9 years. The total score of KDQoL-SF was 61.6%, while the scores for the physical and mental components were 39.3 ± 9.6 and 50.0 ± 10.6 respectively.Conclusion: This study indicated that the main factors that have a significant impact on the QoL were social status, origin, employment status, duration of the CKD, family history of kidney disease, time on HD, and Hypertension.

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

Introduction End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the ultimate result of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In Palestine, the prevalence of ESRD was 240.3 PMP which is comparable with the nearby countries. Accelerated bone loss among ESRD patients is attributed to abnormal bone turn over that leads to osteoporosis and osteopenia. The risk of fractures is increased four-fold in men and women on hemodialysis, which explains the importance of assessing the bone mineral density among these population. The goals of this study were to find the prevalence of osteoporosis in ESRD patients as determined by bone mineral density (BMD) at different sites and to determine whether BMD correlates with many other clinical parameters. Methods A cross-sectional study of 194 ESRD patients were recruited from the dialysis unit in An-Najah National University Hospital, Nablus, Palestine. The patients were on regular hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and the hip using the dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and the value is expressed as T-score. The data were analyzed using SPSS, version 26. The relationship between BMD and the clinical and biochemical parameters among the ESRD patients was assessed. Results We found that 42.8% of ESRD patient had osteoporosis and 40.2% had osteopenia. There were significantly higher proportions of osteoporosis and osteopenia among patients >60 years of age (p<0.005). Patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia had significantly higher serum levels of PTH (792.9 and 469.7) (p<0.05). BMD decreases as the duration of dialysis (39.0 months Vs. 56.8 months), (p<0.05). We found no significant difference between patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Conclusion This study showed that Palestinian patients with ESRD have low BMD at the hip and spine. The observed high serum level of PTH was associated with low BMD. Those patients should be closely monitored especially those with more than one risk factor. Moreover, more attention should be paid for these category of patients to decrease the incidence of falling down and the resulting fractures that might lead to mortality and morbidity.

ObjectiveThe incidence and prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Taiwan have been ranked the highest worldwide. Therefore, the National Health Insurance Administration has implemented the pre-ESRD pay-for-performance (P4P) programme since November 2006, which had significantly reduced the incidence of dialysis and all-cause mortality. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the enrolment in the pre-ESRD P4P programme.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingThe National Health Insurance research database 2007–2012 in Taiwan.ParticipantsPatients with prevalent pre-ESRD aged more than 18 years between January 2007 and December 2012 were enrolled. Patient demographics and hospital characteristics between P4P and non-P4P groups were compared. A logistic regression model was used to analyse the factors associated with P4P enrolment, and a generalised estimating equation was used to verify the results.Primary outcome measureEnrolment in the pre-ESRD P4P programme.ResultsIn total, 82 991 patients were enrolled in the programme, with a 45.6% participation rate. Patients who were males (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.89, 95% CI=0.86 to 0.91) and employed (AOR=0.95, 95% CI=0.92 to 0.97) had a significantly lower probability to be enrolled in the programme. Older patients (66–75 years old, AOR=1.23, 95% CI=1.14 to 1.33) and those with higher Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI 5+, AOR=4.01, 95% CI=3.55 to 4.53) tended to be enrolled in the programme, while those in the 76+ years age group were not (AOR=1.03, 95% CI=0.95 to 1.13). Hospitals located in the central (AOR=1.48, 95% CI=1.05 to 2.08) and Kao-Ping regions (AOR=1.62, 95% CI=1.18 to 2.22) also tended to enrol patients in the pre-ESRD P4P programme. Enrolment rates increased over time.ConclusionPre-ESRD patients of the female gender, greater age and more comorbidities were more likely to be enrolled in the pre-ESRD P4P programme. Healthcare providers and health authorities should focus attention on patients who are male, younger and with less comorbidities to improve the healthcare quality and equality for all pre-ESRD patients.

Abstract The number of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are increasing worldwide. Renal transplantation is now the treatment of choice for all ESRD patients, including those that are aged 65 or over. Namely, there is a growing evidence that elderly patients, in the absence of contraindications, have better outcomes after renal transplantation than alternative forms of RRT. Although survival, quality of life and economic advantages have been shown after transplantation, renal transplantation is still infrequently offered to older patients. Hereby, we present a case of an old woman who was transplanted in 1994 when “senior” program was still not established and when kidney transplantation at this age was rarity in many countries. She lived 16 years and 8 months with a well-functioning graft and died at the age of 89.
