Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the prevalence of depression and risk factors in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Methods

One hundred and ninety-three MHD patients were enrolled in this study. The patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to evaluate patients. According to the scores of PHQ-9, the patients were divided into non-depression group (n=101) and depression group (n=92). Patients with PHQ-9 score<4 points belonged to the non-depression group, while patients with PHQ-9 score≥5 points belonged to the depression group. The differences between the two groups were compared in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), marital status, work, smoking, drinking, medical insurance, month-age of hemodialysis, interdialytic weight gain (IWG), Charlson comorbidity index , spKt/V, serum albumin, and hemoglobin. Logistic regression method was used to analyze the risk factors of depression in MHD patients.

Results

Among the 193 patients with MHD, the incidence of depression was 47.6% (92 cases). Age (OR=1.03, P=0.038), dialysis age (OR=1.02, P=0.032), IWG(%) (OR=1.71, P=0.025), Charlson comorbidity index (OR=1.78, P=0.008), type of medical insurance (OR=3.27, P=0.021), spKt/V (OR=0.01, P<0.001), hemoglobin (OR=0.82, P<0.001), and serum albumin (OR=0.87, P=0.032) were independent risk factors for depression in patients with MHD. The work status was related to the prevalence of depression (P=0.033), and the incidence of depression among unemployed patients (OR=4.41, P=0.012) and retired patients (OR=3.19, P=0.049) was higher than that of in-service patients.

Conclusion

In MHD patients, the incidence of depression was high. The increase in age, complications, dialysis age, IWG, and the proportion of medical expenses were risk factors for depression, while the work status, increase of dialysis adequacy, anemia correction, and elevation of serum albumin were protective factors for depression.
