    (2016) Leblebici, Berrin; Ozelsancak, Ruya; Yilmaz, Emine Ece; Doruk, Pinar; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6241-268X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0788-8319; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8602-6038; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3528-3712; 26198740; AAM-3220-2021; AAD-5716-2021; AAA-8043-2021
    The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in hemodialysis (HD) patients and to assess whether this syndrome is associated with gender, age, duration of HD, or various laboratory parameters. This study was composed of 221 chronic HD patients (99 females and 122 males), and we recorded each participant's age, gender, causes of kidney failure, HD duration, education level, and symptoms related to FMS, which was diagnosed according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria. We documented the laboratory parameters for all patients. In addition, patients with FMS filled out the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Twenty-two patients met the diagnostic criteria for FMS (9%), and there were no statistically significant differences related to age, gender, or HD duration between FMS and non-FMS groups (P>0.05). In addition, the education levels were lower in patients diagnosed with FMS (P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences related to sleep disturbance, fatigue, and cognitive symptoms between the two groups (P<0.05) as well. However, their laboratory parameters were similar (P>0.05). There was a higher prevalence of FMS in HD patients than in the general population. Sleep disturbances, fatigue, education level, and cognitive symptoms were associated with FMS, but there was no correlation between the laboratory parameters and this condition.

    Factors Associated with Fibromyalgia Syndrome in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
    (2019) Ozelsancak, Ruya; Analan, Pinar Doruk; Leblebici, Berrin; 0000-0002-3528-3712; 0000-0002-0788-8319; 30787502; AAA-8043-2021; AAD-5716-2021
    Purpose: We evaluated the prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and whether this syndrome is associated with gender, age, duration of PD, or other laboratory parameters. Methods: A total of 60 chronic PD patients (26 women, 34 men) and 60 healthy controls (30 women, 30 men) were included. We recorded each participant's age, gender, cause of kidney failure, PD duration, laboratory parameters, education level, and symptoms related to FMS, diagnosed according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria. Results: Eleven patients (18%) in the PD group and nine (15%) in the control group met the diagnostic criteria for FMS. There were no statistically significant differences in age; gender; education level; PD duration; laboratory parameters; or sleepdisturbance, fatigue, or cognitive symptoms between the FMS and non-FMS groups among the PD patients. We next compared control and PD patients with FMS. Both groups were of a similar age and gender and had similar sleep disturbance and cognitive symptoms, but more patients had fatigue in the control group. Conclusions: The prevalence of FMS among PD patients was similar to that in the general population, and FMS was not associated with gender, age, duration of PD, or other laboratory parameters.
