Aim:
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the impact of nutrition education on intradialytic weight gain (IDWG) in haemodialysis (HD) patients based on primary studies.
Design:
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods:
Ten databases were searched for randomised controlled trials between November 1st and November 30th, 2022. A total of 20 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analysed.
Results:
The meta-analysis of 15 studies examining the effects of nutrition education on IDWG showed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis based on the duration of data collection indicated that this significant effect persisted in the 1st and 2nd months, as well as the 3rd and 4th months, but was not significant in the 5th and 6th months (p = 0.15).
No Patient Or Public Contribution:
No patient or public contribution was used.
