Assessment of treatment burden and its impact on quality of life in dialysis-dependent and pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients by Al-mansouri, A.

“…Similarly, the HD patients demonstrated significantly lower HR-QOL compared to the pre-dialysis patients [median (IQR) score of 2140 (1100) vs. 2930 (995), respectively; p < 0.001). There was a strong negative correlation between TBQ score and KDQOL-36™ score [rs (251) = −0.616, p < 0.001], signifying that HR-QOL decreases as treatment burden increases. …”

Repositioning for pressure injury prevention in adults. by Gillespie, Brigid M

“…Primary outcomes: proportion of new PI of any stage Repositioning frequencies: three trials compared different repositioning frequencies We pooled data from three trials (1074 participants) comparing 2-hourly with 4-hourly repositioning frequencies (fixed-effect; I² = 45%; pooled risk ratio (RR) 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80 to 1.41). It is uncertain whether 2-hourly repositioning compared with 4-hourly repositioning used in conjunction with any support surface increases or decreases the incidence of PI. …”
