    Comparison of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders Between Patients Treated with Hemodialysis versus Peritoneal Dialysis
    (2022) Tekkarismaz, Nihan; Somay, Efsun; 0000-0001-8251-6913; AAP-9684-2021
    Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the difference, if any, in the frequency of temporomandibular joint disorders between patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and healthy individuals. Our secondary aim was to compare the frequency of temporomandibular joint disorders between patients with end-stage kidney disease treated with hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis. Methods: All participants completed a questionnaire and underwent a dental evaluation to confirm temporomandibular joint disorder. Results: The frequencies of temporomandibular joint disorders were 13% and 8.9% in the patient and control groups (P =.35), respectively, and 13.4% and 12% in the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis groups, respectively (P = 0.85). Conclusions: We observed no difference in temporomandibular joint disorder frequency between patients with end-stage kidney disease who received hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis as kidney replacement therapy and between patients with ESKD and healthy individuals. Further large-scale studies are warranted to gain a deeper understanding of this topic.

    Dialysis modality and sexual dysfunction in male patients
    (2020) Tekkarismaz, Nihan; Tunel, Munevver; Ozer, Cevahir; 0000-0001-7631-7395; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 0000-0001-7140-1803; 0000-0001-6037-7991; 32627887; AAD-9088-2021; AAM-2222-2020; AAD-8660-2021
    Sexual dysfunction is an under-recognised problem in due to very limited number of studies in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the sexual dysfunction related effects of dialysis modality among male patients with chronic renal failure. All patients were asked to complete 2 questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale [HADS] and International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF-5]. A total of 51 patients who completed the questionnaires were included in the study. 31 of them were under haemodialysis (HD) treatment, and 20 were under peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. After adjustment for age and HADS score, there was no statistically significant difference between HD and PD groups in terms of the mean IIEF scores (55 vs. 40,p = .058), and the frequency of sexual dysfunction (12.9% vs. 30%,p = .163). Age (r = -0.553), blood pressure (r = -0.299/ -0.374), use of iron (r = -0.333), lipid levels (r = -0.281/ -0.276) and HADS-D score (r = -0.276) inversely associated with IIEF score (p < .05). To conclude, sexual dysfunction is more common in patients who receive PD therapy than those who receive HD therapy. Older age, higher blood pressure, iron treatment, higher lipid levels and the presence of depression were associated with higher prevalance of sexual dysfunction.
