title: [Factors associated with depressive symptoms in chronic hemodialysis patients of centre hospitalier universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo (Burkina Faso)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the factors associated with depressive symptoms in chronic hemodialysis patients at centre hospitalier universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo de Ouagadougou (CHU-YO).
  
  
  METHODS
  The study was cross sectional and descriptive, from June 2nd to July 30th, 2014. We included chronic hemodialysis patients of CHU-YO. The frequency of hemodialysis sessions was of every four to five days. The French version of Hamilton depression psychometric scale was used to assess depressive symptoms. The factors associated with depression were identified after descriptive and explanatory analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Depressive symptoms were identified in 140 of the 162 patients included in the study, or a prevalence of 86.4%. The average age of the 140 patients was 38.9±12.9years. In bivariate analysis, the risk of having depressive symptoms was 1.5 times for women, 1.7 times for patients with severe anemia, 1.5 times for hemodialysis catheter holders, 1.8 both in case of duration in hemodialysis less than six months. In multivariate analysis, gender and duration in hemodialysis were factors associated with the occurrence of depressive symptomatology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our study confirms the high frequency of depressive symptoms in patients on hemodialysis. To improve the overall care of hemodialysis patients, we suggest routine screening for depressive symptoms and specific support.
