Introduction: The objective of our work was to determine the prevalence of anxiety-depressive disorders as well as associated somatic comorbidities in chronic hemodialysis patients at the Donka National Hemodialysis Center.
Methodology: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study over a period of two (2) months from August 1 to September 30, 2020. We included all patients with chronic hemodialysis for more than 3 months in whom the diagnosis of anxiety-depressive disorder was retained after the interview with the psychiatrist. The diagnosis of anxiety-depressive disorder was made using the Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Associated factors were identified by bi- and multivariate analysis.
Results: Out of a total number of 158 chronic hemodialysis patients, we found 142 (90%) cases of anxiety disorders, of which 69.7% were depressive and 20.3% anxiety. The mean age was 43.48 ± 15.44 years and the sex ratio was 1.6 in favor of men. Vascular and glomerular nephropathies were the most frequent (41.1% and 38.6%). Associated somatic comorbidities were dominated by hypertension and heart disease 93.7% and 36.4%. After multivariate analysis, remote residence, professional activity and psychiatric history were significantly associated with the occurrence of depression (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: anxiety-depressive disorders are very frequent in chronic hemodialysis patients in our center. Considering the seriousness of their complications, a systematic screening by the nephrologist, especially in patients with a professional activity and those living far from the center, would allow an early management.
