Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between SARC-F, fear of COVID 19, anxiety, depression and physical activity in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: This study was conducted in 3 hemodialysis centers in Greece during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sarcopenia risk was assessed using the Greek version of SARC-F (≥4). Demographic and medical history were collected from the patient's medical charts. The participants were also asked to fill the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire.

Results: A hundred and thirty-two (132) patients on hemodialysis (92 men, 70.75±13.14 years) were enrolled. Sarcopenia risk (utilizing the SARC-F) was found in 41.7% of patients on hemodialysis. The average duration of hemodialysis was 3.94±4.58 years. The mean score values for SARC-F, FCV-19S and HADS were 3.9±2.57, 21.08±5.32, and 15.02±6.69, respectively. The majority of patients were physically inactive. The SARC-F scores were strongly associated with age (r=56; p<0.001), HADS (r=0.55; p<0.001), levels of physical activity (r=0.5; p<0.001), but not with FCV-19S (r=0.27; p<0.001).

Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was recorded between sarcopenia risk and age, anxiety/depression and levels of physical inactivity in patients on hemodialysis. Future studies are necessary in order to evaluate the association of specific characteristics of patients.

肌肉减少症风险、对COVID-19的恐惧、焦虑、抑郁和身体活动水平:希腊血液透析患者之间的关联
目的:本多中心横断面研究旨在探讨血液透析患者SARC-F、对COVID - 19的恐惧、焦虑、抑郁和身体活动之间的关系。方法:本研究在COVID-19大流行期间在希腊的3个血液透析中心进行。使用希腊版本的SARC-F(≥4)评估肌少症风险。从患者的病历中收集人口统计和病史。参与者还被要求填写COVID-19恐惧量表(FCV-19S)、医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HADS)和国际体育活动问卷(IPAQ)问卷。结果:纳入血液透析患者132例(男性92例,70.75±13.14岁)。41.7%的血液透析患者存在肌少症风险(使用SARC-F)。平均血液透析时间为3.94±4.58年。SARC-F、FCV-19S和HADS的平均评分分别为3.9±2.57、21.08±5.32和15.02±6.69。大多数患者缺乏运动。SARC-F评分与年龄密切相关(r=56;结论:骨骼肌减少症的发生风险与血液透析患者的年龄、焦虑/抑郁和缺乏运动水平之间存在显著的统计学关系。未来的研究是必要的,以评估患者的特定特征的关联。
