In group I, there was a non-significant increase in SF-36 (p¼0.4161), and DUKES (p¼0.1731), with a non-significant decrease in LUS (p¼0.3598), FACIT-F (p¼0.8283) and SGA (p¼0.1136). In group II, there was a significant increase in SF-36 (p<0.001), with non-significant increase in Dukes (p¼0.7512). There was a significant decrease in LUSS (p<0.001), SGA (p<0.05) and FACIT-F (p<0.001). Conclusions: In dialysis patients exercise increased quality of life, decreased symptom burden but significant increase in fatigue. However, LUSS reduced with reduced FACIT-F which could mean decrease in symptom burden but persistence of fatigue. In patients not on dialysis there was no significant increase in quality of life or decrease in symptom burden.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
