Aim of the study was investigating the effect of serum vitamin D levels on health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
One-hundred and twenty-three maintenance hemodialysis patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Patients divided into 2 groups according to serum vitamin D levels. A serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] D) level of < 20 ng/mL was identified as vitamin D deficiency (n = 78), and a serum level of ≥20 ng/mL was identified as normal (n = 45). Kidney Disease Quality of Life 36 (KDQOL-36) survey was used for quality of life measurement. Scores of the all of 5 subscales of KDQOL-36 were calculated. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to define independent risk factors affecting the survey.
Mean age of patients was 62 and 56% of patients were male. Mean 25(OH) D levels were 11.86 and 29.57 ng/mL, respectively, in 2 groups. There was statistically significant difference between age and Kt/V levels between 2 groups (p = 0.008 and p = 0.041). Age and gender were found as significant predictors of vitamin D deficiency (p = 0.026 and p = 0.021). In symptom and problem list subscale, gender and comorbidity were detected as independent risk factors (p = 0.050 and p = 0.032). Comorbidity was the only independent risk factor for effect of kidney disease subscale (p < 0.001). Independent risk factors associated with burden of kidney disease subscale were comorbidity and serum 25 (OH) D levels (p = 0.003 and p = 0.023). Serum 25(OH) D, gender, and comorbidity were independently associated with physical component summary (PCS) subscale (p < 0.001, p = 0.008, and p = 0.011). The only independently associated factor with mental component summary (MCS) was serum 25(OH) D (p < 0.001).
We first showed the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and KDQOL-36 in hemodialysis patients. Lower serum vitamin D levels were negatively associated with burden of kidney disease, PCS, and MCS subscales.
本研究旨在探讨血清维生素 D 水平对血液透析患者健康相关生活质量的影响。
本横断面研究纳入了 123 名维持性血液透析患者。根据血清维生素 D 水平将患者分为 2 组。血清 25-羟维生素 D(25[OH] D)水平<20ng/ml 定义为维生素 D 缺乏(n=78),血清水平≥20ng/ml 定义为正常(n=45)。采用肾脏病生活质量量表 36(KDQOL-36)对生活质量进行测量。计算所有 5 个 KDQOL-36 亚量表的得分。采用多元线性回归分析定义影响调查的独立危险因素。
患者的平均年龄为 62 岁,56%为男性。两组的平均 25(OH)D 水平分别为 11.86 和 29.57ng/ml,两组间年龄和 Kt/V 水平存在统计学差异(p=0.008 和 p=0.041)。年龄和性别是维生素 D 缺乏的显著预测因素(p=0.026 和 p=0.021)。在症状和问题列表亚量表中,性别和合并症是独立的危险因素(p=0.050 和 p=0.032)。合并症是肾脏病亚量表的唯一独立危险因素(p<0.001)。与肾脏病负担亚量表相关的独立危险因素是合并症和血清 25(OH)D 水平(p=0.003 和 p=0.023)。血清 25(OH)D、性别和合并症与身体成分综合评分(PCS)亚量表独立相关(p<0.001、p=0.008 和 p=0.011)。与心理成分综合评分(MCS)唯一相关的独立因素是血清 25(OH)D(p<0.001)。
我们首次展示了血液透析患者血清维生素 D 水平与 KDQOL-36 的关系。较低的血清维生素 D 水平与肾脏病负担、PCS 和 MCS 亚量表呈负相关。
