Description
Summary:Abstract Background and Aims The reported prevalence of depression is around 20-30% among dialysis patients according to the literature. Previous studies have shown a strong negative correlation between depression and kidney disease related quality of life (KDQOL) scores in ESRD patients. In this study we examined the relationship between depression and KDQOL scores of a racially diverse cohort of elderly haemodialysis (HD) patients. Additionally we investigated the predictors of depression among this cohort. Method Prevalent HD patients aged 65 years and above who were dialyzing in our institution were included in this cross-sectional study. The Geriatric depression scale (GDS-15) and KDQOL-SFTM version 1.3 were the instruments used to derive depression and KDQOL domain scores respectively. The predictor variable was depression status based on a cut-off of 5 and patients were categorized into 2 groups – depression (Yes)-GDS≥5 and depression (No)–GDS
