“…While no statistically significant difference was noted on the overall quality of life among the three chronic diseases under study, hemodialysis patients still showed the lowest QoL. This is similar with other studies showing that patients undergoing hemodialysis experience poor QoL [19,20,42,46,[50][51][52].…”

Chronic diseases affect the overall quality of life of patients as it negatively impacts different areas in life. The review assessed and qualitatively compared the quality of life (QoL) of patients suffering from three chronic diseases namely patients undergoing hemodialysis, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and patients with breast cancer. Qualitative assessment of previous studies using the Ferrans and Powers quality of life index was conducted. Nineteen (19) full texts were included and comprehensively analyzed. Statistically significant lower scores were noted on the health/functioning and socioeconomic domains of patients undergoing hemodialysis and no significant difference in other areas on the quality of life. There was also no significant difference in the overall scores among the three chronic diseases under study. But while the overall QoL of patients are within the same range, results suggest that hemodialysis patients experience the greatest negative impact in terms of socioeconomic and health/functioning domains in the QoL. Thus, health interventions, educational programs, and policy formulations should focus on improving these aspects. This would also call for a multidisciplinary approach to address the issues related to the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Keywords Quality of life. Chronic disease.

“…Around 2.6 million of them receive dialysis, and the need is projected to double by 2030 [17]. Patients undergoing hemodialysis were also included in the study since there are several researches showing that these patients suffer from poor quality of life [18][19][20].…”

“…There was no statistical association between education level and duration of disease among respondents. It is reported in Iran that educated people can cope with this disease more than others [2]. In Palestine there is a significant statistical association between the duration of hemodialysis and level of education [7].…”

“…It is reported among patients on heamodialysis in Iran that the mean duration of dialysis is 34.03 months; and old age, level of education, employment, and income affect the quality of life among them. So, educated people can cope with this disease more than others [2]. In a study done in Lahore, Pakistan, the male constitutes 71.2% of the study population, which are patients on heamodialysis; and the duration of dialysis is inversely related to quality of life; i.e.…”

End stage renal disease constitutes a public health problem globally. One of methods of solution of this problem is hemodialysis. To determine factors related to duration of hemodialysis among Sudanese Patients. It was a cross-sectional survey. Fifty Sudanese Patients on regular hemodialysis at Gezira Hospital for Renal Diseases & Surgery, Gezira State, Sudan; were selected. Independent variables were age, gender, marital status, level of education, occupation, presence and types of congenital anomalies of urinary system. Dependent variable was hemodialysis. Investigation was done using structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Age range was 19-70 years. Male gender was predominant (62%) among study population. Generally duration of hemodialysis is higher among male. Sixty six percent of respondents were married. There was no statistical association between marital status and duration of hemodialysis. Thirty eight percent were graduated from secondary school, university, and postgraduate studies. Majority of the rest were either illiterateor graduated from Holly Quran School (Khalwa), or primary school. About 78% of study population either non-employed or from low economical class. There was strong statistical association between occupation and duration of hemodialysis. Rate of congenital anomalies was 12%. There was statistical relationship between both presence and types of congenital anomalies of renal system and duration of hemodialysis among study population. Economically active age group was more affected than others. Duration of hemodialysis was higher among male. Unmarried respondents were more vulnerable than married groups. Duration of hemodialysis was longer among respondents with low socioeconomic status and among respondents having congenital anomalies of renal system. Screening for presence of congenital anomalies of renal system among general population may be of great help.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease that leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Malnutrition increases the risk of mortality among patients with ESRD. This study aimed to determine malnutrition prevalence and associated factors among twice-weekly (n = 94/120) and thrice-weekly (n = 26/120) hemodialysis patients/HDP. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at two tertiary-level public hospitals in Dhaka city using a consecutive sampling technique from April to June 2021. Nutritional status was assessed by Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression was performed to determine which socioeconomic, clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary factors are associated with MIS. Results: The prevalence of malnutrition was very high among HDP (severe 15.5%, mild/moderate 56.7%) with an average dialysis vintage of 28.7 months. Comorbidities (80.8%) and gastrointestinal symptoms/GIS (68.3%) were ubiquitous, and “dialysis frequencies” were not associated with MIS in bivariate analysis. Multivariable ordinal regression showed that anthropometric factors like mid-upper arm circumference/MUAC (adjusted odds ratio/AOR = 0.978), post-dialysis body mass index/BMI (AOR = 0.957), and biochemical parameters like albumin (AOR = 0.733) and TIBC/total iron binding capacity (AOR = 0.996) negatively (P < .05) associated with MIS. Moreover, having “no GIS” (AOR = 0.672, P < .001) was 33.0% less likely to be associated with MIS. Contrarily, as the month of dialysis increases, MIS increases by 22.0% (AOR = 1.22). Conclusion: Significant associations of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical characteristics with MIS indicate the importance of routine screening of the nutritional status of patients with CKD to improve health status and prevent protein-energy wasting. The MIS could be a simple, noninvasive tool for testing nutritional status in patients with CKD.
