Factors associated with subgroups of fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate affected factors for subgroups of fatigue and the degree of fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Methods

This study included 120 MHD patients. Questionnaires, pre- and post-dialysis clinical data, bioimpedance spectroscopy, and ultrasound assessment were involved.

Results

The prevalence of fatigue in participants was 83%, including 54% of patients with fatigue worsened by dialysis, 13% with fatigue lessened by dialysis, and 16% with undifferentiated fatigue. Based on multi-nominal logistic regression analysis, age was associated with worsened fatigue by dialysis (odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.11, p = 0.019), lower post-dialysis phosphorus was associated with lessened fatigue
