The Effects of Intradialytic Exercise on Key Indices of Sarcopenia in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the effects of intradialytic exercise (IDE) (exercise performed during dialysis) on sarcopenia and quality of life (QoL) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Data sources

A comprehensive search of 7 electronic databases was performed to identify randomized controlled trials measuring the effects of IDE in adults with ESRD. Searches were limited to the English language.

Study selection

Included studies were randomized controlled trials that measured the effects of IDE in adults with ESRD. Comparator groups received usual care or low-intensity sham interventions. Outcomes of interest were muscle mass, strength, physical function, and QoL. Papers were independently screened for eligibility by 2 authors, and any discrepancies resolved by
