    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.

    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.
