WCN26-43 SLEEP DISORDERS AND SLEEP QUALITY AMONG HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS IN A TERTIARY HOSPITAL IN VALENZUELA, PHILIPPINES; A ONE CENTER CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

Sleep disturbances, including sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), insomnia, and poor sleep quality, are highly prevalent among hemodialysis patients. These issues not only impair quality of life but also worsen cardiac comorbidities, increasing morbidity and mortality risks. Despite their impact, sleep disturbances are often underrecognized and undertreated, particularly in resource-limited settings where costly diagnostics like polysomnography are inaccessible. This study aimed to identify risk factors for poor sleep quality and sleep disorders and demonstrate how validated, cost-effective screening questionnaires can guide effective sleep management to improve dialysis outcomes in Filipino hemodialysis patients.
