Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The prevalence of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been increasing globally and today, 90% of countries use hemodialysis (HD) as a treatment for end-stage renal disease. Hemodialysis patients experience the high risk of weight loss, muscle wasting, anemia, cardiovascular events, infection, and mental health problems, which causes higher rates of morbidity and mortality.

Nutritional management and life care are important approaches to improve the quality of care and patients’ outcomes.

In this Special Issue, we aim to collect evidence of the most recent advances in research, practice, and policy within this field of study. Scientific articles related to empirical works (original articles), systematic reviews and meta-analyses are encouraged for submission to this Special Issue.

Treatment adherence (TA) is a critical issue and is under-investigated in hemodialysis patients. A multi-center study was conducted from July 2020 to March 2021 on 972 hemodialysis patients in eight hospitals in Vietnam to explore the factors associated with TA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected, including socio-demographics, an End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ), 12-item short-form health literacy questionnaire (HLS-SF12), 4-item digital healthy diet literacy scale (DDL), 10-item hemodialysis dietary knowledge scale (HDK), 7-item fear of COVID-19 scale (FCoV-19S), and suspected COVID-19 symptoms (S-COVID19-S). Bivariate and multivariate linear regression models were used to explore the associations. Higher DDL scores were associated with higher TA scores (regression coefficient, B, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 95%CI, 0.59, 2.12; p = 0.001). Higher FCoV-19S scores were associated with lower TA scores (B, −1.78; 95%CI, −3.33, −0.24; p = 0.023). In addition, patients aged 60–85 (B, 24.85; 95%CI, 6.61, 43.11; p = 0.008) with “very or fairly easy” medication payment ability (B, 27.92; 95%CI, 5.89, 44.95; p = 0.013) had higher TA scores. Patients who underwent hemodialysis for ≥5 years had a lower TA score than those who received <5 years of hemodialysis (B, −52.87; 95%CI, −70.46, −35.28; p < 0.001). These findings suggested that DDL and FCoV-19S, among other factors, should be considered in future interventions to improve TA in hemodialysis patients. Full article
