Impact of variables on recovery time in patients undergoing hemodialysis: an international survey
Abstract Background Dialysis recovery time (DRT) refers to the period during which fatigue and weakness subside following hemodialysis treatment, allowing patients to resume their daily routines. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing DRT in hemodialysis patients in Turkey and Portugal...

| description | Abstract Background Dialysis recovery time (DRT) refers to the period during which fatigue and weakness subside following hemodialysis treatment, allowing patients to resume their daily routines. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing DRT in hemodialysis patients in Turkey and Portugal, where the prevalence of chronic kidney disease is notably high. Methods A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a private dialysis center in Turkey and three dialysis centers in Portugal. The study included hemodialysis patients aged 18 years or older who had been undergoing four-hour hemodialysis sessions three times a week for at least six months. Participants had no communication barriers and voluntarily agreed to take part in the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire to gather descriptive characteristics and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent variables influencing DRT. Results A total of 294 patients participated in the study, including 187 from Turkey and 107 from Portugal. In Turkey, increased interdialytic weight gain (P = 0.043) was associated with prolonged recovery time, while the use of high-flux dialyzers (P = 0.026) was linked to shorter recovery times. In Portugal, older age (P = 0.020) was found to extend recovery time. Conclusion Recovery time after dialysis is influenced by varying factors across different countries. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to deepen understanding of these factors and their implications. Clinical trial number NCT04667741. |
