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.About:

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.

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

TL;DR: SF-36 scores were higher in this CKD cohort compared with hemodialysis patients, but lower than in healthy controls, and GFR was not significantly associated with QOL.

Health-related quality of life among dialysis patients on three continents: the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study.
Shunichi Fukuhara,Antonio Alberto Lopes,Jennifer L. Bragg-Gresham,Kiyoshi Kurokawa,Donna Mapes,Tadao Akizawa,Jürgen Bommer,Bernard Canaud,Friedrich K. Port,Philip J. Held +9 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality of sleep and health‐related quality of life in haemodialysis patients
Eduard A. Iliescu,Helen Coo,Margo H. McMurray,Carol Meers,Margo M. Quinn,Michael A. Singer,Wilma M. Hopman +6 more
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.

The Sickness Impact Profile: development and final revision of a health status measure.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a behaviorally based measure of health status, and evaluated its reliability and validity using multitrait-multimethod technique.
