Introduction: Arteriovenous fistula is the most common vascular access for patients requiringhemodialysis, but it is not always possible or practical hence cuffed tunneled dialysis cathetercomes into play. The aim of the study was to determine the outcome of cuffed tunneled dialysiscatheter used for hemodialysis at a teaching hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2014 and December2019 on 103 chronic dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease presenting to a tertiary carehospital. Ethical approval was received from the institutional review board (2/(6-11) E2/076/77).Whole sampling was done. Data entry and analysis were done in Microsoft Excel 10. Results: The study included 103 patients with 117 cuffed tunneled dialysis catheters placed forhemodialysis. On assessing the outcome of the catheters, the primary and secondary patencyrates of the catheters were 5.85±4.87 and 1.21±3.77 months. Thirty-one (30.1%) patients requiredone intervention, and 11 (10.68%) catheters required 3 or more interventions to maintain patency.Eighteen (17.48%) patients presented with catheter dysfunction while in 11 (10.68%) cases, thecatheter was kinked or malpositioned at the notch. In one patient, procedure was abandoned dueto severe bleeding and in 2 (1.94%) patients dialysis catheters could not be negotiated into the rightatrium and left in brachiocephalic junction. Conclusions: Cuffed tunneled dialysis catheter is effective for maintenance hemodialysis in patientswith the end-stage renal disease if used with proper care during dialysis even in our setup. Theresults and outcomes of the procedure are at par with standards.

Introduction: End-stage renal disease patients are in rising trend globally, and they have been foundto occur predominantly in developing countries. Many studies have been published before, withinand across the countries, to know the clinicodemographic profile of end-stage renal disease patients.However, no such studies were done in Chitwan, Nepal. This study’s main objective was to find theprevalence of newly diagnosed end-stage renal disease patients. Methods: A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department ofNephrology from May 2016 to April 2019. Convenient sampling was done, and all the consecutivenew end-stage renal disease patients were included in the study. The ethical approval was takenfrom the Institutional Review Committee (reference number. 2016/COMSTH/IRC/042). Theprevalence and demographic profile of new end-stage renal disease patients were studied. The datawere analyzed with appropriate statistical tools. Results: A total of 250 new end-stage renal disease patients were found among 2200 admittedpatients. The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be 250 (11.36%). Out of 250patients, males were 156 (62.4%), and females were 94 (37.6%). The mean age was 49.6±15.5 years. Thecommonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes mellitus 89 (35.6%). Conclusions: The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be quite high. Thecommonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

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.
