Analysis of quality of life and risk factors in 122 patients with persistent hemodialysis.

Objectives: To summarize existing evidence on the quality of life and influencing factors in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: Total 122 MHD patients treated in the department of hemodialysis, Liyang branch of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the patient group. and 98 healthy persons in the same period were selected as the control group. The quality of life of the two groups was investigated by SF-36 score scale. At the same time, the clinical data of the patient group were investigated. Influencing factors of patients' quality of life were analyzed by univariate test, and independent risk factors were analyzed by logistic multiple regression. Results: Univariate analysis showed that age, education, marital status, dialysis time, urea clearance index (Kt/V), income level, diabetic nephropathy, nutritional status, medical insurance type, depression and anxiety were single factors influencing the quality of life of MHD patients (P<0.05). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years, dialysis time ≥ one year, income less than 3000 yuan/month, primary disease is diabetic nephropathy., low medical insurance reimbursement, depression and anxiety were independent risk factors affecting the quality of life of MHD patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions: There was a relatively high proportion of patients with age ≥ 60 years, dialysis time ≥ one year, income less than 3000 yuan/month, primary disease is diabetic nephropathy, low medical insurance reimbursement, depression and anxiety. Timely nursing interventions such as reasonable nutritional support, comprehensive monitoring and psychological counseling for patients with the above situation may be helpful in improving quality of life of MHD patients.
