3.2 Overall severity of DSI in the MHD cohort
We compared differences in the distribution of DSI in MHD patients
before and during lockdown (Figure 1, Figure 2.). The overall pattern of
patients was similar in both groups. The most common symptoms reported
by patients in Figure 1 included
feeling tired or lacking energy (81.1%), dry skin (76.5%),
trouble falling asleep (74.5%),
feeling sad (66.0%), and dry mouth (63.2%). In contrast, most of the
symptoms reported by patients in Figure 2 included itching (84.9%),
trouble falling asleep (84.9%), dry skin (84.0%), feeling tired or
lacking energy (80.2%), and dry mouth (73.6%).
