End-stage renal disease patients are in rising trend globally, and they have been found to occur predominantly in developing countries. Many studies have been published before, within and across the countries, to know the clinicodemographic profile of end-stage renal disease patients. However, no such studies were done in Chitwan, Nepal. This study's main objective was to find the prevalence of newly diagnosed end-stage renal disease patients.
A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Nephrology from May 2016 to April 2019. Convenient sampling was done, and all the consecutive new end-stage renal disease patients were included in the study. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (reference number. 2016/COMSTH/IRC/042). The prevalence and demographic profile of new end-stage renal disease patients were studied. The data were analyzed with appropriate statistical tools.
A total of 250 new end-stage renal disease patients were found among 2200 admitted patients. The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be 250 (11.36%). Out of 250 patients, males were 156 (62.4%), and females were 94 (37.6%). The mean age was 49.6±15.5 years. The commonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes mellitus 89 (35.6%).
The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be quite high. The commonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
全球范围内终末期肾病患者呈上升趋势，且主要发生在发展中国家。许多研究已经在国内外发表，旨在了解终末期肾病患者的临床和人口统计学特征。然而，尼泊尔奇特万地区尚未进行过此类研究。本研究的主要目的是确定新诊断的终末期肾病患者的患病率。
这是一项 2016 年 5 月至 2019 年 4 月在肾脏病科进行的基于医院的描述性横断面研究。采用便利抽样法，将所有连续的新诊断为终末期肾病的患者纳入研究。本研究获得了机构审查委员会的伦理批准（编号 2016/COMSTH/IRC/042）。研究了新诊断的终末期肾病患者的患病率和人口统计学特征。使用适当的统计工具进行数据分析。
在 2200 名住院患者中，共发现 250 例新的终末期肾病患者。新诊断的终末期肾病患病率为 250（11.36%）。250 例患者中，男性 156 例（62.4%），女性 94 例（37.6%）。平均年龄为 49.6±15.5 岁。导致终末期肾病的最常见原因是 2 型糖尿病 89 例（35.6%）。
新诊断的终末期肾病患病率相当高。导致终末期肾病的最常见原因是 2 型糖尿病。
