Objective  To understand the incidence of frailty in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the correlation and influencing factors of frailty in MHD patients, so as to provide some basis for the intervention of frailty in MHD patients. Methods  Patients who underwent MHD in the Department of Nephrology of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January to March 2021 were selected. Frail scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used for evaluation, and the influencing factors of frail in patients with MHD and its correlation with frail were analyzed. Results  A total of 141 patients with MHD were included, including 57 cases without frailty (40.43%), 71 cases in early frailty (50.35%), and 13 cases in frailty (9.22%). 54 cases (38.30%) had very good sleep quality, 56 cases (39.72%) had good sleep quality, 24 cases (17.02%) had average sleep quality, and 7 cases (4.96%) had very poor sleep quality. The frailty of MHD patients was positively correlated with age (rs=0.265, P=0.002), PSQI (rs=0.235, P=0.005) and magnesium (rs=0.280, P=0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of MHD patients’ frailty were gender [odds ratio (OR) =4.321, 95%confidence interval (CI) (1.525, 12.243), P=0.006], PSQI [OR=1.110, 95%CI (1.009, 1.222), P=0.032], magnesium [OR=122.072, 95%CI (4.752, 3 135.528), P=0.004], hypertension [OR=0.112, 95%CI (0.023, 0.545), P=0.007] and other diseases [OR=0.102, 95%CI (0.019, 0.552), P=0.008]. Conclusions  The incidence of frailty in MHD patients is high. Gender, PSQI, magnesium, hypertension and other diseases are the influencing factors of frailty in MHD patients, and there is a correlation between frailty and sleep. It is suggested that renal medical staff should pay more attention to the assessment of MHD frailty and sleep, and carry out multi-disciplinary personalized intervention to improve the quality of life of MHD patients.
