Article Description

Background: The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of the depressive symptoms and the factors associated with the depressive symptoms in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of depression in 132 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Depression was evaluated using Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristic were also investigated. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to select factors associated with depressive symptoms. Results: Their median age was 57.5 years, and 58.3% were male. The rate of depressive symptoms in peritoneal dialysis patients was 78.0%. The rate of moderate/severe depressive symptoms was 64.4%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that lower serum hemoglobin was significantly associated with increased risks of depression (OR = 0.989, 95CI%=0.979–0.998, p = 0.023). Conclusion: Depression was highly prevalent in the peritoneal dialysis patients. Serum hemoglobin was independent risk factor for depressive symptoms in peritoneal dialysis patients.
