IntroductionEstimer la prévalence de la dépression et rechercher les facteurs associés chez les patients insuffisants rénaux chroniques en hémodialyse.MéthodesÉtude transversale descriptive allant du 1er Janvier 2014 au 31 Décembre 2014 à l’unité d’hémodialyse du service de Néphrologie du CHU Sylvanus Olympio de Lomé (Togo). L’échelle d’autoévaluation de la dépression de Beck dans sa version simplifiée a été notre outil d’évaluation.RésultatsDurant la période d’étude, 88 patients ont été recrutés dont 61,4% d’hommes soit un sex-ratio de 1,6. La moyenne d’âge a été de 38,80 ± 13,24 ans avec des extrêmes de 12 et 66 ans. La majorité des patients (90,9%) étaient des travailleurs. L’hypertension artérielle a été la comorbidité somatique la plus retrouvée (45,4%). Quarante-six patients (52,3%) avaient une durée en hémodialyse comprise entre 1 et 4 ans. La dépression touchait 68,2% des patients; 47,7% des patients déprimés avaient une dépression sévère. La survenue de la dépression était significativement liée à la durée en hémodialyse (p= 0,008).ConclusionLa prise en charge du patient hémodialysé chronique doit être pluridisciplinaire incluant le néphrologue et le psychiatre.
This study aims at assessing patients' quality of life during hemodialysis (HD) and determining influencing factors. This prospective study was conducted over a three-month period (December 1, 2012-February 28, 2013) at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital (CHU-SO) HD unit, the only center to provide such services in Togo. Respondents used the standard Medical Outcome Survey-Short Form 36 questionnaire. This study was conducted on 64 patients (44 males and 20 females = M/F ratio 2.2). Mean patient age was 45.51 ± 14.00 years old with the vast majority in the 16-44-year-old group (90.82%), and mean dialysis vintage was 2.84 ± 2.37 years (1 month to 9.5 years). The mean global quality of life score was 35.58 (standard deviation ± 15). Quality of life physical score and mental score were, respectively, 31.84 and 40.64. Physical limitation scores were 15.23, followed by general ill-health score 37.38 and poor physical function score 47.37. Mental limitation score was 30.20 and vitality score was 43.75. The quality of life was inversely proportional to patient age and the dialysis vintage, with female quality of life scores worse than male in all questionnaire parameters. Togolese dialysis patients suffer from poor quality of life. Factors underlying such poor quality of life include advanced age, female gender, long-standing history of dialysis, and patient profession.
