The impact of pain on the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis: a multicenter cross-sectional study from Palestine

Abstract: Background Chronic kidney disease is considered as a global health problem. Hemodialysis (HD), following renal transplantation, is the most common form of renal replacement therapy. However, HD may impact the quality of life (QOL). Pain is a frequent complaint among this population that also affects their QOL. The purposes of this study were to assess pain and QOL among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on HD and to examine their association. Methods … Show more

“…First, older age was a significant predictor of poor QoL. Similar results were observed in previous EQ-5D-5L studies, such as those by Hsu et al (Taiwan, 2020) (β = −0.04; p = 0.002) [24] and Samoudi et al (Palestine, 2021) (β = −0.1; p = 0.001) [17]. A possible explanation for this might be that older patients are more likely to have health problems and an increasing decline in organ function.…”

“…In patients undergoing dialysis, QoL has been assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire in various nations [15][16][17][18][19]. As a tool to measure the improvement and deterioration in QoL, it can be used to evaluate QoL and subsequently test the effectiveness of interventions to improve QoL among patients with ESRD undergoing HD or PD [14].…”
