A previous cohort study indicated a significant association of lower baseline level physical activity in hemodialysis patients with elevated risks mortality. However, there have been no reports regarding the between changes over time and mortality patients. This was performed to examine prognostic significance patients.This retrospective 192 7-year follow-up. The average number steps taken per non-dialysis day used as measure activity. Forty (20.8%) had died during follow-up period....
ABSTRACT Background Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). However, no study has used various frailty assessments on HD to examine their association clinical events. In this study, we investigated the between events and six scales. Methods Outpatients who underwent 2018 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. was defined using Fried Phenotype, Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) Index, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Frail Screening...
Abstract Background Patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of developing sarcopenia, which can lead to various adverse health outcomes. Although the diagnosis sarcopenia is essential for clinical management, it not feasible in routine practice populations undergoing haemodialysis because time‐consuming and resources limited. Serum creatinine levels patients ESRD have been gaining attention as a screening parameter serum routinely measured byproduct skeletal...
Several clinical practice guidelines recommend regular assessment of physical activity and function as part routine care in hemodialysis patients. However, there is no clear evidence to support these recommendations. We investigated whether the proportion attendance at a program for management can predict all-cause mortality cardiovascular events patients.This retrospective cohort study consisted 266 patients participating least once. Participants were tracked 3 years after their first...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Among patients on hemodialysis (HD), physical frailty and sleep disturbances are not only common but also associated with adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between in HD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This cross-sectional conducted from June 2017 March 2021, outpatients receiving HD 3 times a week at two dialysis facilities Japan. Sleep were identified Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS)....
Walking ability is significantly lower in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy people. Decreased walking characterized by slow speed associated with adverse clinical events, but determinants of decreased are unknown. The purpose this study was identify factors ambulatory patients. Subjects were 122 outpatients (64 men, 58 women; mean age, 68 years) undergoing hemodialysis. Clinical characteristics including comorbidities, motor function (strength, flexibility, and balance), maximum...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> There are limited screening tools for sarcopenia in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of SARC-F (Strength, Assistance walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, Falls) questionnaire as tool (defined by Asian Working Group Sarcopenia [AWGS2019]) <b><i>Methods:</i></b> cross-sectional enrolled 179 (mean age: 66.5 ± 12 years, 58% men) maintenance hemodialysis 3...
After confirming the relationship between high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels and mortality in hemodialysis patients for study 1, we investigated effect of physical activity on their HDL‐C 2. In 266 were monitored prospectively five years, Cox proportional hazard regression confirmed contribution to mortality. 2, 116 recruited after excluding those with severe comorbidities or requiring assistance from another person walk. Baseline characteristics, such as demographic...
Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADL) compared to healthy people. ADL is an early predictor loss independence and mortality in older community-living However, determinants HD patients not been clarified. This study aimed identify factors associated with ambulatory patients. Subjects were 216 Japanese outpatients (130 men, 86 women; mean age, 67 years) maintenance three times a week. Clinical characteristics, depressive symptoms,...
Deterioration in walking ability characterized by slow speed is associated with an increased risk of mortality patients on hemodialysis (HD), but few studies have examined the potential for to reduce incidence clinical events. In this study, we assessed a range maximum speeds (MWS) regard their capacity cardio-cerebrovascular events HD patients. total, 188 Japanese outpatients (90 men, 98 women; mean age, 65 years) undergoing maintenance three times week were monitored 7 years. We measured...
ABSTRACT Background Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have difficulty increasing their gait speed in daily life. The extent of the increase from usual (UGS) to maximum (MGS) is considered reserved capacity (RGC). Little known regarding implications RGC. This study aimed investigate association between RGC and all-cause mortality patients HD. Methods In this retrospective study, we assessed 10-m walking outpatients who underwent HD October 2002 August 2021. was defined as ratio MGS UGS....
Abstract Background A simple and inexpensive sarcopenia screening tool would be beneficial in clinical practice. This study was performed to determine whether SARC‐F questionnaire can used identify physical limitations poor prognosis elderly cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. Methods results The population consisted of 257 Japanese patients ≥65 years old admitted our hospital for CVD. Prior discharge from hospital, SARC‐F, handgrip strength, usual gait speed, short performance battery...
