Effect of bioelectrical impedance analysis-guided dry weight adjustment, in comparison to standard clinical-guided, on the sleep quality of chronic haemodialysis patients (BEDTIME study): a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disturbance is common among chronic haemodialysis patients, which leads to poor quality of life, in addition to increased instances of morbidity and mortality. Hypervolemia has been linked to sleep problems observed in chronic haemodialysis patients, which suggests that optimising one's fluid status could improve the sleep quality of this patient group. In our study, we subjectively examined and objectively measured sleep parameters, using actigraphy recordings, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), in order to compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-guided and standard clinical-guided dry weight adjustment.

Methods

We randomly selected 19 chronic haemodialysis patients with subclinical hypervolem
