Core Tip

Core Tip: We identified independent risk factors for depression in older patients with chronic kidney disease receiving peritoneal dialysis, including fewer years of education, higher Beck Depression Inventory Score-II and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores, poorer sleep quality, the presence of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, and lower hemoglobin and albumin levels. Conversely, more years of education, higher hemoglobin levels, and better peritoneal Kt/V ratio were associated with a lower risk of depression. These findings emphasize the importance of considering psychological well-being and addressing potential risk factors in the management of older patients on peritoneal dialysis, particularly in patients at high-risk of depression.
