Quality of life in end-stage renal disease patients.

TLDR
It has been proven that physical and mental function are inversely correlated with the risk for hospitalization and mortality and the best treatment option should be assessed in each individual case, taking all possible factors into account.

Health-related quality of life as a predictor of mortality and hospitalization: the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).

TL;DR: Lower scores for the three major components of HRQOL were strongly associated with higher risk of death and hospitalization in hemodialysis patients, independent of a series of demographic and comorbid factors.

Nonadherence in hemodialysis: associations with mortality, hospitalization, and practice patterns in the DOPPS.

TL;DR: Nonadherence was associated with increased mortality risk (skipping treatment, excessive IDWG, and high phosphate) and with hospitalization risk (kipping, high phosphate).
Journal ArticleDOI

Health-related quality of life among dialysis patients on three continents: the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study.

TL;DR: On all three continents, ESRD and hemodialysis profoundly affect HRQOL, with patients in the United States having the highest scores on the mental health subscale and the highest mental component summary scores, while in other countries, the effects on mental health are smaller.

Quality of sleep and health‐related quality of life in haemodialysis patients

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that end-stage renal disease directly influences quality of sleep, which in turn impacts on HRQoL, which is associated with lower sleep quality in haemodialysis patients.
