“…Lockdown had a positive impact on HRQoL in young healthy soccer players, which showed a significant improvement in general and mental health [ 24 ]. A recent study showed that SF-36 scores, except for mental health in CKD patients, were significantly lower than healthy individuals during the pandemic [ 25 ].…”

Chronic dialysis patients have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection-related complications. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical activity levels of patients undertaking hemodialysis (HD). This was an observational study that compared data from two periods of time, before the COVID-19 pandemic vs pandemic. We used the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form (SF-36) to measure the HRQoL and the Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire was used to measure the physical activity. Data were analyzed with a mixed ordinal linear regression. A total of 27 eligible participants were interviewed during COVID-19 pandemic (median age 78 years). The linear regression model showed that the pandemic, after controlling for the covariates age, comorbidity, albumin, and hemoglobin, had a significant impact on the HRQoL. Physical function (−15.7) and social functioning subscales (−28.0) worsened (p = 0.001), and the physical component scale also showed a significant decrease (−3.6; p = 0.05). Time had a significant impact on the Human Activity Profile, with an average activity score diminished with the pandemic (−13.9; p = 0.003). The COVID-19 pandemic had a very negative impact on HRQoL and physical activity level of subjects undertaking hemodialysis. Interventions to improve HRQoL and activity levels of patients undertaking HD are recommended.

Continuous hemodialysis (HD) treatment causes many complications in patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the upper extremity functional capacity, physical activity level, and physical functions of patients receiving continuous HD treatment. Fifty HD patients and fifty healthy subjects were included in the study. Hand grip strength with Dynamometer, range of motion of upper extremity with Digital Goniometer, functional level of the upper extremity with the Turkish version of the Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Problems Questionnaire (The DASH-T), physical activity levels with international physical activity questionnaire short form and physical functions with the human activity profile (HAP) were evaluated. The mean grip strength of the subjects in the control group was 23.3 ± 1.44 kg, while the mean grip strength of the HD patients with fistula was 15.75 ± 3.08 kg (P < .05). In all joint range of motion measurements; the values of HD patients were significantly lower than the control group (P < .05). The DASH symptom scores of the individuals in the HD group (mean 19.19 ± 1.41) were significantly higher than the control group (mean 5.75 ± 1.41) (P < .05). The number of individuals with low-level activity in the HD group (72%) was higher than the control group (34%) (P < .01). The maximum activity score score of the HAP (mean 68.7 ± 1.4) and the adjusted activity score of the HAP (mean 42.54 ± 3.02) were lower in the HD group (P < .0001). HD treatment adversely affects hand grip strength, the range of motion, upper extremity functions, physical activity, and physical function levels of the patients.
