Some evidence suggests that anxiety deteriorate the immune system. We aimed to determine the effect of anxiety on COVID-19 infection in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Our study was conducted with 80 HD patients. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaires were administered between April 15 and May 1, 2020. These patients were followed up for about 8 months and COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death rates were recorded. Twenty-one (26%) of the patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. Fourteen out of twenty one (66.6%) of the patients were hospitalized, and 8/21 (38%) of them died due to COVID-19. STAI-S (p= 0.006) and BAI (p= 0.021) scores were found to be higher and STAI-T (p= 0.040) score was found to be lower in HD patients who were infected with COVID-19 compared to without, at the follow-up period. It might be concluded in this study that COVID-19 was more common in anxious HD patients.
一些证据表明焦虑会削弱免疫系统。我们旨在确定焦虑对血液透析 (HD) 患者 COVID-19 感染的影响。我们的研究纳入了 80 名 HD 患者。在 2020 年 4 月 15 日至 5 月 1 日期间，我们采用状态-特质焦虑量表 (STAI) 和贝克焦虑量表 (BAI) 对这些患者进行了问卷调查。对这些患者进行了大约 8 个月的随访，记录了 COVID-19 感染、住院和死亡率。21 名（26%）患者被诊断为 COVID-19 感染。21 名患者中有 14 名（66.6%）住院，其中 8 名（38%）因 COVID-19 死亡。与未感染 COVID-19 的患者相比，在随访期间，感染 COVID-19 的 HD 患者的 STAI-S（p=0.006）和 BAI（p=0.021）评分较高，STAI-T（p=0.040）评分较低。在这项研究中可以得出结论，焦虑的 HD 患者 COVID-19 更常见。
