- Abstract
This study aimed to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile and factors associated with polypharmacy in patients with hemodialysis chronic renal failure. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study with a descriptive-analytical design carried out in a hemodialysis center in the interior of Bahia. Sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, pharmacotherapy and symptoms data were evaluated during hemodialysis sessions. The medications used by patients were classified according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and the association between categorical variables was obtained using Pearson's Chi-square test, significance level of 5%. Of the total of 187 participants, 56.1% were men, aged <60 years (69.5%), with a mean age of 52 (±15.3) years. With comorbidity 87.7%, in particular, systemic arterial hypertension 82.7%, with a prevalence of polypharmacy 89.9%. During hemodialysis sessions, patients presented: headache (72.5%), cramps 84.5%, chills 68.4%, dizziness 51.3%, abdominal pain 33.7%, dyspnea 27.3% and other symptoms 23.5%. There was a statistical association between polypharmacy and dizziness (p= 0.029) and abdominal pain (p= 0.009) during hemodialysis sessions. The most frequent medications were those belonging to anatomical groups A (30.4%) and C (23.4%). There was a high prevalence of polypharmacy, and the results obtained could help managers and health professionals in decision-making, thus improving care for patients with chronic kidney disease
