Key result
Higher levels of pain interference with daily functions were associated with lower quality of life in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis (B = -0.64).
Why the study?
Pain adversely affects health-related quality of life with social, psychological, and physical repercussions in ESRD, prompting an assessment of chronic pain severity, activity interference, and factors linked to quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
Cross-Sectional (n=97)
Yes
Effect estimate: B = -0.64
In ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, pain significantly interferes with daily functions and negatively impacts quality of life, highlighting the need for effective pain management in this population.
May support pain screening in hemodialysis; leaves open whether interventions improve quality of life.

Khaled et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (n=97). Pain interference with daily functions was evaluated on Quality of Life (QoL) (B = -0.64). Higher levels of pain interference with daily functions were associated with lower quality of life in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis (B = -0.64).
