Poor sleep quality and associated factors among adult chronic kidney disease patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1366010. [PMID: 38751978 PMCID: PMC11094326 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1366010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Poor sleep quality is a common concern in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, which can accelerate the progression of chronic renal disease and negatively impact their health-related quality of life, potentially leading to greater morbidity and mortality rates. It can also have an effect on the immune system, cognitive function, and emotional well-being of CKD patients. Furthermore, poor sleep quality may contribute to drug noncompliance and decreased participation in the entire treatment plan. Nonetheless, no research has been undertaken in Ethiopia on the prevalence of poor sleep quality and its associated factors among CKD patients. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor quality of sleep and associated factors among chronic kidney disease patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals in 2020. Methods A cross-sectional study design was implemented at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals between February and April 2020. The study participants were chosen through systematic random sampling techniques. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a validated assessment tool, was utilized to measure sleep quality. A PSQI total score > 5 was used as an indicator of poor sleep quality. Subsequently, the data obtained were entered into Epi Data version 3.0 and then transferred to STATA 14 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to recognize factors associated with poor sleep quality. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, variables demonstrating a p-value of ≤0.05 were considered statistically associated to poor sleep quality. Results In this study, 424 CKD patients were included. Among screened CKD patients, 42.9% tested positive for poor sleep quality with a 95% CI (38 to 47%). Independent predictors of poor sleep quality among CKD patients were common mental disorder [AOR = 1.8, 95% CI (1.19-2.89)], anemia [AOR = 2.7, 95% CI (1.71-4.36)], declined eGFR between 60 and 89.9 [AOR = 1.6; 95% CI (2.28-5.54)], 30-59.9 [AOR = 2.6, 95% CI (1.53-4.43)], and ≤ 30 [AOR = 3.8, 95% CI (1.17-12.61)], age > 50 years [AOR = 1.7(1.11-2.69)] and duration of disease 2.9 [AOR = 2.9, 95% CI (1.77-4.90)]. Conclusion In our study, almost 1 out of 2 CKD patients assessed for poor sleep quality tested positive. It was noted that poor sleep quality was more frequent among CKD patients with common mental disorders, anemia, decreased eGFR levels, individuals aged over 50 years, and those with a longer duration of the disease. Consequently, it's advised to regularly screen these CKD patients for poor sleep quality.

Israel E, Borko UD, Mota K, Tesfaw M, Feleke T, Abraham A, Akako B, Samuel B, Aynalem A. Out of sight: chronic kidney diseases among diabetic patients attending care and follow up. Findings from pastoralist health facilities of Southern Ethiopia. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1326011. [PMID: 38439761 PMCID: PMC10910120 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1326011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In Ethiopia, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among the adult population ranges to 19.1%. The disease's impact has increased in low-resource settings due to a lack of knowledge about the condition and its risk factors. Diabetes is one of the numerous causes of CKD. Despite this, little was known in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. This study aimed to identify the determinants of CKD among diabetic patients enrolled in care and follow up at pastoralist health facility of Jinka General Hospital (JGH), Southern Ethiopia, 2023. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 626 diabetic patients recruited through a systematic random sampling. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and entered into Epi data version 7.2 and then exported to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to find eligible variables for the later analysis. Variables with p < 0.25 at bivariate logistic regression were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis. The variables with p < 0.05 at the multivariate analysis were taken as statically significant in the final model. Results The prevalence of CKD was 2.7% (95% CI: 1.12-6.01%). Place of residence (AOR: 4.84; 95% CI: 1.51-15.40), presence of hypertension (AOR: 5.69; 95% CI: 1.58-20.51) and family history of CKD (AOR: 6.20; 95% CI: 1.40-15.49) were factors associated with CKD among diabetes patients. Conclusion The prevalence found in this study was low when compared with the local studies. Provision of health education to diabetic patients on preventative measures such as physical exercise is cost-effective approach. Factors associated with CKD among diabetics can be significantly mitigated by strengthening the existing NCDs prevention packages in the study area particularly and in Ethiopia generally.

Katatwire DD, Meremo A. Prevalence of and factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension among patients with early chronic kidney disease attending tertiary hospitals in Dodoma, Tanzania: a cross-sectional study. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e074441. [PMID: 38086591 PMCID: PMC10729198 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and its associated factors among patients with early chronic kidney disease (CKD) attending medical outpatient clinics at tertiary hospitals in Dodoma, Tanzania. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Two tertiary hospitals in Dodoma, Tanzania. PARTICIPANTS The participants in this study were adult patients (≥18 years) with early CKD stages (1, 2 and 3) who were attending nephrology and medical outpatient clinics from November 2020 to March 2021. Patients who had been attending the clinic for at least 3 months, had baseline clinical data on their files, had estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and who provided written informed consent were eligible. A total of 352 patients were enrolled, of whom 182 were men and 170 were women. OUTCOME MEASURE The dependent variable was uncontrolled hypertension among patients with early CKD, based on blood pressure measurements. RESULTS The prevalence of hypertension was 58.5% (206 of 352) and the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension was 58.3% (120 of 206). Among patients with uncontrolled hypertension, 88.3% (106 of 120) had CKD stage 3, 80.2% (96 of 120) reported non-adherence to antihypertensives, 76.7% (92 of 120) were overweight or obese, 72.5% (87 of 120) reported current alcohol use and 26.7% (32 of 120) had diabetes mellitus. Factors that contributed to higher odds of uncontrolled hypertension were: age ≥50 years (OR=5.17, 95 % CI 2.37 to 13.33, p=0.001), alcohol use (OR=11.21, 95% CI 3.83 to 32.84, p=0.001), non-adherence to antihypertensives (OR=10.19, 95% CI 4.22 to 24.61, p=0.001), overweight/obesity (OR=6.28, 95% CI 2.54 to 15.53, p=0.001) and CKD stage 3 (OR=3.52, 95% CI 1.32 to 9.42, p=0.012). CONCLUSION Uncontrolled hypertension was highly prevalent among patients with early CKD in this setting and was associated with age, current alcohol use, non-adherence to antihypertensives, overweight/obesity and declining eGFR.

AI-Powered Renal Diet Support: Performance of ChatGPT, Bard AI, and Bing Chat. Clin Pract 2023; 13:1160-1172. [PMID: 37887080 PMCID: PMC10605499 DOI: 10.3390/clinpract13050104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) necessitate specialized renal diets to prevent complications such as hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia. A comprehensive assessment of food components is pivotal, yet burdensome for healthcare providers. With evolving artificial intelligence (AI) technology, models such as ChatGPT, Bard AI, and Bing Chat can be instrumental in educating patients and assisting professionals. To gauge the efficacy of different AI models in discerning potassium and phosphorus content in foods, four AI models-ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4, Bard AI, and Bing Chat-were evaluated. A total of 240 food items, curated from the Mayo Clinic Renal Diet Handbook for CKD patients, were input into each model. These items were characterized by their potassium (149 items) and phosphorus (91 items) content. Each model was tasked to categorize the items into high or low potassium and high phosphorus content. The results were juxtaposed with the Mayo Clinic Renal Diet Handbook's recommendations. The concordance between repeated sessions was also evaluated to assess model consistency. Among the models tested, ChatGPT 4 displayed superior performance in identifying potassium content, correctly classifying 81% of the foods. It accurately discerned 60% of low potassium and 99% of high potassium foods. In comparison, ChatGPT 3.5 exhibited a 66% accuracy rate. Bard AI and Bing Chat models had an accuracy rate of 79% and 81%, respectively. Regarding phosphorus content, Bard AI stood out with a flawless 100% accuracy rate. ChatGPT 3.5 and Bing Chat recognized 85% and 89% of the high phosphorus foods correctly, while ChatGPT 4 registered a 77% accuracy rate. Emerging AI models manifest a diverse range of accuracy in discerning potassium and phosphorus content in foods suitable for CKD patients. ChatGPT 4, in particular, showed a marked improvement over its predecessor, especially in detecting potassium content. The Bard AI model exhibited exceptional precision for phosphorus identification. This study underscores the potential of AI models as efficient tools in renal dietary planning, though refinements are warranted for optimal utility.

Prevalence of anemia and associated factors among adult hypertensive patients in Referral Hospitals, Amhara Regional State. Sci Rep 2023; 13:14329. [PMID: 37652948 PMCID: PMC10471574 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-41553-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Anemia is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular disease outcomes in hypertensive patients. Chronic anemia increases preload, reduces afterload, and leads to increased cardiac output in hypertension patients. In the long term, this may result in maladaptive left ventricular hypertrophy, which in turn is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes and all-cause mortality in hypertension. Low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels might be strongly indicate hypertensive end-organ damage, specifically kidney failure. Therefore, this study determined the prevalence of anemia and associated factors among hypertensive patients in Referral Hospitals, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia, in 2020. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Amhara Regional Referral Hospitals from February 20 to April 30, 2020. Random and systemic sampling techniques were used to select 428 study participants. Data were entered and coded in to Epi data version 3.0 and then exported into STATA 14 for analysis. In bivariable logistic regression, variables with a p-value of < 0.25 were included in multivariable logistic regression. Using a 95% confidence interval, variables having a p-value ≤ 0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were declared as statistically significant variables. In this study, a total of 428 study participants were involved with 99.5% response rate. The prevalence of anemia among hypertensive patients was 17.6%, with a 95% CI (14.3-21.5%). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 ml/min (AOR = 2.77, 95% CI 1.56- 4.92)], duration of hypertension (HTN) ≥ 5 years (AOR = 2.37, 95% CI 1.36-4.15), uncontrolled blood pressure (AOR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.08-3.35), and higher pulse pressure (AOR = 1.05 (95% CI 1.02-1.08) were significantly associated with anemia. Nearly one out of five hypertensive patients had anemia. Impaired estimated glomerular filtration rate, duration of HTN, blood pressure status, and pulse pressure were the independent predictors of anemia among hypertensive patients. Screening hemoglobin level at a regular interval is recommended for the hypertensive patients to take an appropriate intervention.

[PMID: 38455919 PMCID: PMC10910998 DOI: 10.3389/fepid.2023.1154522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease is defined as a reduction in glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and presence of albuminuria over a period of time. Globally, 10%-15% of populations are affected by chronic kidney disease. Studies conducted in Jimma, Addis Ababa, and the Tigray region were conducted on a single chronic disease and did not include human immune viruses. In addition, there has been no such study conducted in the Amhara region. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the magnitude and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among chronic patients who are followed up at an outpatient department. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study of 480 chronic patients was conducted at Dessie Referral Hospital, Dessie, Ethiopia between 15 March and 16 April 2020. Data were entered into Epidata and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Binary logistic regression models were performed to identify factors associated with chronic kidney disease. The variables with a p-value ≤0.25 were considered to be a candidate for multivariable logistic regression. A p-value ≤0.05 was considered a statistically significant association. Results The magnitude of chronic kidney disease among the study participants was 21.3%. Variables such as hypertension [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.6, 95% CI: 1.58-4.27], use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (AOR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.41-3.97), smoking (AOR: 4.4, 95% CI: 2.65-7.34), routine physical activity (AOR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.35-0.94), and obesity (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.76-5.05) were significantly associated with the chronic kidney disease. Conclusion This study found that the magnitude of chronic kidney disease in the study area was high. Hypertension, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, smoking, routine physical activity, and obesity were found to be significant factors for chronic kidney disease.

SAGE Open Med 2022; 10:20503121221116942. [PMID: 35966210 PMCID: PMC9373155 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221116942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the magnitude of chronic kidney disease among
patients attending the renal unit of St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical
College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 620 randomly
selected patients who visited St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College
renal unit from 1 January to 31 December, 2019. Data on sociodemographic
characteristics, clinical conditions, behavioral risk factors, electrolytes,
and renal function tests were extracted from patients’ medical records. To
enter and analyze data, EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 22 were used, respectively.
Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to
see the association between predictor variables and chronic kidney disease.
Adjusted odds ratio at 95% confidence interval was used to describe
significant association. A p-value <0.05 was considered
to declare an association between chronic kidney disease and independent
variables. Results: Of 620 patients, 139 (22.4%; 95% confidence interval: 19.2, 25.6) and 61
(9.8%; 95% confidence interval: 7.4, 12.3) had chronic kidney disease using
cut-off value of 90 and 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Having
urinary tract obstruction (adjusted odds ratio = 2.32; 95% confidence
interval: 1.32, 4.06), hypertension (adjusted odds ratio = 4.06; 95%
confidence interval: 2.50, 6.59), diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds
ratio = 2.80; 95% confidence interval: 1.62, 4.85), cardiovascular disease
(adjusted odds ratio = 2.54; 95% confidence interval: 1.60, 4.01), and age
(adjusted odds ratio = 1.83; 95% confidence interval: 1.44, 3.57), family
history of chronic kidney disease (adjusted odds ratio = 2.26; 95%
confidence interval: 1.36, 3.75) were factors positively associated with
having chronic kidney disease. Conclusion: Nearly, one out of five and one out of ten patients who visited the renal
unit had chronic kidney disease using the two thresholds as a cut value.
Patients with concomitant urinary tract obstruction, age, hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and a family history of chronic
kidney disease were more likely to develop chronic kidney disease. Regular
screening for chronic kidney disease, optimal blood sugar, and blood

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of Diabetes mellitus (DM) has escalated in recent decades, and the risk of diabetes-related mortality has increased dramatically due to the co-existence of hypertension (HTN). DM and HTN, having similar aetiology and disease mechanism, are influenced by lifestyle factors and greatly contribute to critical health complications. AIM The present study attempted to explore the co-existence of DM-HTN and the potential determinants considering rapid upsurge of both the diseases. SUBJECTS AND METHODS National Family Health Survey data were used, which included 7092 adult diabetic individuals, to find out the prevalence rate of HTN in diabetic persons in India. Appropriate statistical analyses were performed to accomplish the study objectives. RESULTS Prevalence rate of HTN in diabetic individuals was approximately 37%. Higher BMI was associated with DM-HTN co-existence. In males, increased age, higher BMI, alcohol consumption, poorest wealth index, and non-smoking (tobacco) were the significant determinants of the co-existence of DM-HTN, while in females, they were increased age, higher BMI, and geographical region. CONCLUSION This study unveiled the significance of healthy lifestyle maintenance and equitable health care services to prevent HTN among the diabetics, along with promotion of the awareness and management of DM and HTN through appropriate pharmacological treatments.

SAGE Open Med 2022; 10:20503121221089442. [PMID: 35465636 PMCID: PMC9019378 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221089442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide summarized evidence on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia. Method: Databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect were searched. In addition, gray literatures were searched manually from university repositories. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used to select potential studies. Microsoft Excel 2013 sheet template was used to extract data. The quality of included studies was assessed by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. STATA software version 14.0 is used to compute the estimated pooled prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease. Result: Twelve articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. The pooled estimate of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses in Ethiopia is 21.71% (95% confidence interval: 17.67, 25.74). The highest prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses is from Oromia (32.55% (confidence interval: 19.91, 45.19)). Glomerular filtration rate showed a comparable pooled prevalence from Cockroft-Gault and MDRD methods; 22.38% (confidence interval: 15.83, 28.92), 22.18 (confidence interval: 18.01, 26.34), respectively. Hypertensives become more likely to have chronic kidney disease compared with normotensive patients, (odds ratio = 3.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.33, 6.81). Conclusion: Prevalence of chronic kidney disease among chronic illness patients was significantly high. Hypertension is significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. Hence, we recommend that continuous screening of possible risk factors and proper follow-up and management strategies should be designed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, there are no data on prevalence and associated risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with hypertension in rural Sierra Leone. PURPOSE To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of CKD in rural Sierra Leone. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study of hypertension patients aged between 18 and 75 years attending a non-communicable disease clinic at Koidu Government Hospital, Kono District, Sierra Leone was conducted between February and December 2020. Using systematic random sampling, a structured questionnaire, which comprised of questions on social demographic characteristics and past and current clinical history, was administered followed by measurement of creatinine and urinary protein and glucose. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated using CKD-epidemiology formula without race as a factor. Baseline eGFR between 60-89 min/mL/1.73m2 and <60 min/mL/1.73m2 defined reduced eGFR and renal impairment, respectively. Estimated GFR less than 60 min/mL/1.73m2 measured two times at least 3 months apart was used to define CKD. RESULTS Ninety-six percent (n = 304) patients out of 317 patients were included in the study. Among all included patients, only 3.9% (n = 12) had eGFR of 90 min/mL/1.73m2 and above. The prevalence of renal impairment and CKD was 52% (158/304, CI 46.2-57.7) and 29.9% (91/304, CI 24.8-34.5), respectively. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, currently taking herbal medications as treatment of hypertension (OR 4.11 (CI 1.14-14.80), p = 0.03) and being overweight and/or obese (OR 2.16 (CI 1.24-3.78), p < 0.001) was associated with CKD. Additionally, receiving some education was associated with a 48% (OR 0.52 (CI 0.29-0.91), p = 0.02) reduced likelihood of CKD. CONCLUSION The prevalence of renal impairment and CKD is high among hypertensive patients in rural Sierra Leone. CKD was associated with current history of taking herbal medications and being overweight and/or obese. Additionally, CKD was associated with reduced likelihood in patients who received some education.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Chronic Kidney Disease among Adult Hypertensive Patients at Northwest Amhara Referral Hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020. Int J Hypertens 2021; 2021:5515832. [PMID: 34484816 PMCID: PMC8416396 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5515832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of the kidney function which leads to a decreased kidneys' ability to process waste in the blood and it affects the other important functions of the kidney. The disease has different stages that can alter the health status of individuals. During the early stages, patients may present with a normal or slight decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria. Later, it progresses and leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. Hypertension is considered as the major contributing risk factor of CKD. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients in referral hospitals of the Northwest Ethiopia. METHODS An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 581 adult hypertensive patients in a chronic follow-up clinic in referral hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, from July to August 2020. Systematic random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using the interviewer-administered questionnaire and participants medical records. Both bivariable and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Model fitness was assessed using a Hosmer-Lemeshow test. RESULT The total prevalence of CKD among adult hypertensive patients was 17.6% (95% CI: 14.7-20.8). Diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg (AOR = 8.65; 95% CI: 4.77-15.68), duration of hypertension ≥10 years (AOR = 8.81; 95% CI: 2.47-31.45), stage II HTN (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.04-6.50), comorbid disease (AOR = 7.0; 95% CI: 2.20-22.21), proteinuria (AOR = 4.59; 95% CI: 2.08-10.12), dyslipidemia (AOR = 3.40; 95% CI: 1.56-7.24), and serum creatinine ≥1 mg/dl (AOR = 8.88; 95% CI: 4.40-17.91) were associated with chronic kidney disease among adult hypertensive patients. CONCLUSION In this study, the prevalence of CKD among hypertensive patients found was 17.6%. Regarding associated factors, dyslipidemia, proteinuria, comorbid disease, serum creatinine greater than 0.9 mg/dl, duration of hypertension greater than 10 years, and diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg are factors associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients.

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2021; 17:1483-1492. [PMID: 34040375 PMCID: PMC8139641 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s304543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is one of the public health problems affecting 50 million people in the world. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk to develop cognitive impairment which leads to poor quality of life, difficulty in adhering to medications, increased risk of mortality, and health resource utilization. However, there is no study done on the prevalence of cognitive impairment and associated factors among chronic kidney disease patients in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the prevalence of cognitive impairment and associated factors among chronic kidney disease patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals in 2020, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020. METHODS An institution-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals in 2020. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using standard tools. Data were checked for its completeness and entered into Epi data version 3.0 then exported into STATA 14. Multi-variable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify associated factors of cognitive impairment among CKD patients, and variables having a p-value of ≤0.05 were declared as significant. RESULTS In this study, 116 CKD patients and 116 age, sex, and educational level matched controls were included with a response rate of 100%. The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 49.1% [95% CI (40%, 58.3%)] among CKD patients and 28.4% [95% CI (20.9%, 37.5%)] among controls. Independent predictors of cognitive impairment among CKD patients were estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) <60mL/min/m2 [AOR=3.9, 95% CI (1.1-14.74)], proteinuria [AOR=6.0, 95% CI (1.83-20.3)], age greater than 65 years [AOR=4.0, 95% CI (1.12-14.64)], and educational level of grade 8 and less [AOR= 4.7, 95% CI (1.22 -18.47)]. CONCLUSION The prevalence of cognitive impairment among CKD patients was higher than healthy controls. Cognitive impairment was higher among CKD patients with eGFR <60mL/min/m2, proteinuria, educational level of grade 8 and less, and age greater than 65 years. Therefore, there is a need to have a regular evaluation and follow-up of CKD patients for cognitive impairment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This scoping review sought to summarize available data on the prevalence, associated factors, etiology, comorbidities, treatment, cost and mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Cameroon. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus and African Journals Online from database inception to 31 March, 2020 to identify all studies published on the prevalence, associated factors, etiology, comorbidities, treatment, cost and mortality of CKD in Cameroon. RESULTS Thirty studies were included. The prevalence of CKD varied from 3 to 14.1 and 10.0%-14.2% in rural and urban areas, respectively. The prevalence of CKD in patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and human immunodeficiency virus was 12.4-50.0, 18.5%, and 3.0-47.2%, respectively. Hypertension (22.3-59.1%), chronic glomerulonephritis (15.8-56.2%), and diabetes mellitus (15.8-56.2%) were the most common causes of CKD. The cause was unknown in 13.5-17.0% of the cases. Advanced age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity were frequent associated factors. Hemodialysis was the main treatment modality in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The monthly cost of management of non-dialyzed CKD was 163 US dollars. The one-year mortality rate of ESRD was 26.8-38.6%. CONCLUSION Chronic kidney disease affects about one in 10 adults in the general population in Cameroon. Patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and human immunodeficiency virus bear the greatest burden of CKD in Cameroon. Advanced age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity are major factors associated with CKD. Chronic kidney disease in Cameroon is associated with high morbidity and mortality and huge economic cost on the patient.
