Health-related quality of life for pediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Hemodial Int 2024; 28:198-215. [PMID: 38468403 DOI: 10.1111/hdi.13138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) studies demonstrate the impact of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on the physical and psychosocial development of children. While several instruments are used to measure HRQoL, few have standardized domains specific to pediatric ESRD. This review examines current evidence on self and proxy-reported HRQoL among pediatric patients with ESRD, based on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) questionnaires. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on HRQoL using the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale (GCS) and the PedsQL 3.0 ESRD Module among 5- to 18-year-old patients. We queried PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases. Retrospective, case-controlled, and cross-sectional studies using PedsQL were included. FINDINGS Of 435 identified studies, 14 met inclusion criteria administered in several countries. Meta-analysis demonstrated a significantly higher total HRQoL for healthy patients over those with ESRD (SMD:1.44 [95% CI: 0.78-2.09]) across all dimensional scores. In addition, kidney transplant patients reported a significantly higher HRQoL than those on dialysis (PedsQL GCS, SMD: 0.33 [95% CI: 0.14-0.53]) and (PedsQL ESRD, SMD: 0.65 [95% CI: 0.39-0.90]) concordant with parent-proxy reports. DISCUSSION Patients with ESRD reported lower HRQoL in physical and psychosocial domains compared with healthy controls, while transplant and peritoneal dialysis patients reported better HRQoL than those on hemodialysis. This analysis demonstrates the need to identify dimensions of impaired functioning and produce congruent clinical interventions. Further research on the impact of individual comorbidities in HRQoL is necessary for developing comprehensive, integrated, and holistic treatment programs.

Development of a preliminary conceptual model of the patient experience of chronic kidney disease: a targeted literature review and analysis. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:233. [PMID: 34162354 PMCID: PMC8220773 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02440-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments should capture the experiences of disease and treatment that patients consider most important in order to inform patient-centred care and product development. The aim of this study was to develop a preliminary conceptual model of patient experience in chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on a targeted literature review and to characterize existing PRO instruments used in CKD. Methods PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases and recent society meetings were searched for publications reporting signs/symptoms and life impacts of CKD. Concepts identified in the literature review were used to develop a preliminary conceptual model of patient experience of CKD, overall, and within patient subpopulations of differing CKD causes, severities and complications. PRO instruments, identified from PRO databases, CKD literature and CKD clinical trials, were assessed for content validity, psychometric strength and coverage of concepts in the literature review. Results In total, 100 publications met criteria for analysis; 56 signs/symptoms and 37 life impacts of CKD were identified from these sources. The most frequently mentioned signs/symptoms were pain/discomfort (57% of publications) and tiredness/low energy/lethargy/fatigue (42%); the most commonly reported life impacts were anxiety/depression (49%) and decrements in physical functioning (43%). Signs/symptoms and life impacts varied across the subpopulations and were more frequent at advanced CKD stages. The preliminary conceptual model grouped signs/symptoms into seven domains (pain/discomfort; energy/fatigue; sleep-related; gastrointestinal-related; urinary-related; skin−/hair−/nails-related; and other) and life impacts into six domains (psychological/emotional strain; cognitive impairment; dietary habit disruption; physical function decrements; interference with social relationships; and other). Eleven PRO instruments were considered to be promising for use in CKD; all had limitations. Conclusions Although preliminary, the proposed conceptual model highlights key PROs for people with CKD and is intended to spur development of more tailored PRO instruments to assess these concepts.

Abstract
Background Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important indicator of medical treatment and is a strong predictor of disability and mortality. The literature has shown mixed evidence about whether kidney transplantation improves HRQOL compared with other renal replacement modalities. The aim of this study was to compare the HRQOL in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods A cross-sectional study of 100 KTRs and 272 HD patients from two central kidney units in the West Bank, Palestine. The HRQOL was assessed using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate differences in mean HRQOL scores between KTRs and HD patients. Results As compared to HD patients, KTRs had higher clinically important HRQOL in main domains and subscales of the SF-36 including physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health, ranging between 15.5 for social functioning (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 10.1, 20.7) to 32.6 for general health (95% CI 24.0, 41.1). Conclusions We found that KTRs have better HRQOL than HD patients in physical and mental components of the SF-36 scale including physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Further longitudinal research comparing HRQOL among KTRs and the general population may identify key modifiable factors associated with lower HRQOL among KTRs that are amenable to intervention.

A mixed-methods feasibility study of an arts-based intervention for patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:497.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemodialysis can negatively impact quality of life and mental health. Arts-based interventions used successfully in other settings to improve health and well-being, could help address the impact of haemodialysis. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of an arts-based intervention for patients receiving haemodialysis. METHODS A parallel convergent mixed-methods design was used, including a pilot cluster RCT and qualitative process evaluation. Phase 1 evaluated recruitment and retention rates through a pilot cluster RCT at a single haemodialysis unit in Northern Ireland. Participants included patients who received haemodialysis for ESKD, were over the age of 18 and had the capacity to consent. These participants were randomised to the intervention or control group according to their haemodialysis shift. The intervention involved six one-hour, one-to-one facilitated arts sessions during haemodialysis. Phase 2 explored intervention and trial acceptability through a qualitative process evaluation using semi-structured interviews based on the RE-AIM framework. Participants included 13 patients who participated in phase 1 of the study, including 9 participants from the experimental group and four participants from the control group, and nine healthcare professionals who were present on the unit during implementation. RESULTS Out of 122 outpatient haemodialysis patients, 94 were assessed as eligible for participation. Twenty-four participants were randomised, meaning 80% of the target sample size was recruited and the attrition rate at 3 months was 12.5% (n = 3). Participants viewed the arts as more accessible and enjoyable than anticipated following implementation. All participants who started the intervention (n = 11) completed the full six sessions. Qualitative benefits of the intervention suggest improvements in mental well-being. Patient choice and facilitation were important factors for successful implementation. CONCLUSION An arts-based intervention for patients receiving haemodialysis is acceptable for both patients and healthcare professionals, and a definitive trial is feasible. The intervention may help improve mental-wellbeing in patients receiving haemodialysis, but this requires further investigation in a definitive trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was prospectively registered on clinicaltrials.gov on 14/8/2018, registration number NCT03629496 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND A Task Force from the International Society of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) provides recommendations on how to systematically identify and appraise health state utility (HSU) weights for cost-effectiveness analyses. We applied these recommendations to conduct a systematic review (SR) to identify HSU weights for different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal replacement therapy (RRT) and complications. METHODS MEDLINE® and Embase were searched for interventional and non-interventional studies reporting HSU weights for patients with CKD stages 1-5 or RRT. As per ISPOR Task Force Guidance, study quality criteria, applicability for Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and generalisability to a broad CKD population were used to grade studies as either 1 (recommended), 2 (to be considered if there are no data from grade 1 studies) or 3 (not recommended). RESULTS A total of 17 grade 1 studies were included in this SR with 51 to 1767 participants, conducted in the UK, USA, Canada, China, Spain, and multiple-countries. Health related quality of life (HRQL) instruments used in the studies included were EQ-5D-3L (10 studies), SF-6D (4 studies), HUI2/HUI3 (1 study), and combinations (2 studies). Although absolute values for HSU weights varied among instruments, HSU weights decreased with CKD severity in a consistent manner across all instruments. CONCLUSIONS This SR identified HSU weights for a range of CKD states and showed that HRQL decreases with CKD progression. Data were available to inform cost-effectiveness analysis in CKD in a number of geographies using instruments acceptable by HTA agencies.

Abstract
Background The vital signs reflect the physiological state of patients in various clinical conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of cold compress and Xyla-P cream on hemodynamical changes during venipuncture in hemodialysis patients. Methods and Material In this clinical trial study, 50 patients under hemodialysis were selected by simple random sampling. The patients were then randomly assigned to either Xyla-P cream, cold compress or placebo groups. The vital signs (blood pressure and pulse) were measured upon two intermittent hemodialysis sessions before and after venipuncture. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results The mean alternation in systolic blood pressure was significantly different comparing the placebo and cold compress groups before and after intervention (p<0.001). However, the difference was not significant between the Xyla-P cream group and either placebo (p=0.402) or ice compress (p=0.698) groups. The difference of the mean diastolic blood pressure was significant comparing the placebo group with either the Xyla-P cream group (p=0.003) or cold compress group (p<0.001) before and after intervention. In addition, there was a significant difference in the mean number of heartbeats comparing the control group with either the Xyla-P cream group (p<0.001) or cold compress group (p<0.001) before and after the intervention. Conclusions Considering the beneficial effects of ice compress and the Xyla-P cream on reduction of cardiovascular parameters, it is recommended to use these methods in hemodialysis patients during venipuncture.

Abstract
Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important component of patient-centered outcomes and a useful parameter for monitoring quality of care. We assessed HRQoL, its determinants, and associations with mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods Short Form-36 was used to assess HRQoL, its domain components, and physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) composite summary scores in altogether 400 (338 incident and 62 prevalent) dialysis patients with median age 64 years, 37% women, 24% diabetes mellitus (DM), 49% cardiovascular disease (CVD), and median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 5.3 (3.0–9.4) ml/min/1.732. Results were analyzed separately for 338 incident patients starting on hemodialysis (HD; 68%) or peritoneal dialysis (PD; 32%), and 62 prevalent PD patients. Mortality risk was analyzed during up to 60 months (median 28 months). Results Linear multivariate regression analysis showed that in incident dialysis patients, 1-SD higher PCS associated negatively with 1-SD higher age, DM and CVD, and positively with 1-SD higher hemoglobin and sodium (adjusted r2 = 0.17). In 62 prevalent PD patients, 1-SD higher PCS was negatively associated with 1-SD higher age. MCS was not associated to any of the investigated factors. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that in incident dialysis patients, 1-SD increase of PCS associated with lower all-cause mortality, hazard ratio 0.65 (95% confidence interval 0.52–0.81), after adjustments for age, sex, DM, CVD, plasma albumin, C-reactive protein and eGFR whereas 1-SD lower MCS did not associate with mortality. In PD patients, neither PCS nor MCS associated with mortality. Conclusions MCS did not associate with any of the investigated clinical factors, whereas lower PCS associated with higher age, CVD, DM, and lower hemoglobin and sodium levels. MCS was not associated with mortality, whereas lower PCS associated with increased mortality risk. These results suggest that HRQoL - in addition to its role as patient-centered outcome - matters also for hard clinical outcomes in ESRD patients. Our knowledge about factors influencing MCS in ESRD patients is limited and should motivate further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage kidney disease is a life-changing illness. Many patients require haemodialysis, a treatment that impacts profoundly on quality of life and mental health. Arts-based interventions have been used in other healthcare settings to improve mental health and quality of life; therefore, they may help address the impact of haemodialysis by improving these outcomes. However, there is a lack of evidence assessing their effectiveness in this population and few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effectiveness of complex arts-based interventions. METHODS The aims of this study are to establish the feasibility of a cluster RCT of an arts-based intervention for patients with end-stage kidney disease whilst receiving haemodialysis through a cluster randomised pilot study, explore the acceptability of the intervention with a process evaluation and explore the feasibility of an economic evaluation. The study will have three phases. The first phase consists of a cluster randomised pilot study to establish recruitment, participation and retention rates. This will involve the recruitment of 30 participants who will be randomly allocated through cluster randomisation according to shift pattern to experimental and control group. The second phase will be a qualitative process evaluation to establish the acceptability of the intervention within a clinical setting. This will involve semi-structured interviews with 13 patients and three focus groups with healthcare professionals. The third phase will be a feasibility economic evaluation to establish the best methods for data collection within a future cluster RCT. DISCUSSION Arts-based interventions have been shown to improve quality of life in healthcare settings, but there is a lack of evidence evaluating arts-based interventions for patients receiving haemodialysis. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a future cluster RCT assessing the impact of an arts-based intervention on the wellbeing and mental health of patients receiving haemodialysis and identify the key factors leading to successful implementation. The hope is this study will inform a trial that can influence future healthcare policy by providing robust evidence for arts-based interventions within the haemodialysis setting. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was prospectively registered on clinicaltrials.gov on 14/8/2018, registration number NCT03629496.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent worldwide. Patients with CKD on hemodialysis are more likely to present behavioral changes and worse quality of life as a result of their routine and complications. They also have higher levels of cytokines. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the inflammatory profile and quality of life measured by KDOQL-SF36 in hemodialysis outpatients. Patients older than 21 years of age and on routine hemodialysis for at least 6 months with treatment on a regular weekly basis were included and their anthropometric parameters and serum inflammatory markers were evaluated. Thirty patients consented to participate. Homocysteine (Hcy) levels were correlated with worse glomerular filtration rate (GFR; P=0.003) and creatinine (P=0.002). IL-6 was not correlated with worse nutritional status taking into account body mass index (BMI; kg/m2; P=0.83). On the other hand, TNF-alpha was positively correlated with albumin (P=0.008), nutritional status by BMI (P=0.04), and nutritional status by arm circumference area (P=0.04). IL-6 was correlated with activity limitation (P=0.02) and Hcy with work status (P=0.04). Hcy was correlated with nutritional status and inflammatory markers. In this population, the majority of the sections in KDOQL-SF36 were not correlated with cytokines levels.

Abstract
End stage renal disease is a major public health problem in the French Departments of Guadeloupe and Guiana because of the high prevalence of both type 2 diabetes and hypertension. We investigated factors associated with an emergency start of dialysis, 3 months' quality of life for patients starting a first replacement therapy in Guadeloupe and French Guiana using the data of the Réseau épidémiologie et information en néphrologie network, completed with data from the quality of life questionnaires SF-36 and KDQoL. A total of 242 patients (184 in Guadeloupe and 58 in Guiana) were included. An emergency start was found for 112 (46.5%) patients (Guiana: 74.1%; Guadeloupe: 37.7%). In the multivariate model, an emergency start was associated with the number of nephrology consultations in the year before dialysis and the creation of an arteriovenous fistula prior to the first dialysis. The quality of life scores did not differ between the groups emergency start or not but were higher than those measured in mainland French studies on dialyzed population. Lack of nephrology consultations and dialysis preparation are the main factors associated with an emergency start of the first dialysis, highlighting the need to adapt the provision of care for chronic kidney disease in these departments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease that affects patients' functioning and well-being. This study aimed to develop patient-reported outcome questionnaires to measure patient experiences related to FSGS. STUDY DESIGN Qualitative patient interviews to identify important symptoms and concepts (concept elicitation) formed the basis for the development of 2 questionnaires, one on symptoms and one on their impact. Additional qualitative interviews were implemented to evaluate/refine the questionnaires (cognitive debriefing). Transcripts of concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing interviews, conducted by telephone, were analyzed for concepts of interest using qualitative text analysis. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Patients with FSGS (aged 18-65 years with estimated glomerular filtration rates ≥ 40mL/min/1.73m2) whose disease remained inadequately controlled after 2 or fewer courses of treatment. METHODOLOGY Qualitative concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing interviews. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Interview transcripts were analyzed using qualitative software, MAXQDA. RESULTS 30 patients completed concept elicitation interviews; 9 patients completed cognitive debriefing interviews. Frequently mentioned symptoms included swelling from the waist down/legs/knees/feet/ankles (67%), fatigue (57%), stomach/abdomen swelling (43%), body pain/pressure (30%), and shortness of breath (20%), as well as impacts on physical (52%), emotional (68%), and social functioning (89%). Based on analyses of interview transcripts and clinical input, 2 questionnaires, one on symptoms and one on the impact of the symptom, were drafted. The 23-item FSGS Symptom Diary (assessing the frequency and severity of FSGS symptoms during the past 24 hours) and the FSGS Symptom Impact Questionnaire (17 items assessing interference with activities and emotions during the past 7 days) were iteratively revised based on cognitive debriefing interviews. LIMITATIONS The study was restricted to English-speaking adults located in the United States, and the concept elicitation interview group had a low number of African Americans. CONCLUSIONS The FSGS Symptom Diary and FSGS Symptom Impact Questionnaire are new FSGS-specific patient-reported outcomes measures designed to support a comprehensive assessment of symptoms and symptom impact in adults with FSGS. Future research is needed to evaluate their quantitative measurement properties.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is markedly reduced in hemodialysis patients compared to the general population. We investigated the course of self-reported HRQOL over time and the association with selected factors, focusing on changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS Eighty-two newly started hemodialysis patients from the SAFIR cohort filled out the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form Version 1.3 (KDQOL-SFTM ) questionnaire at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The SAFIR study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind intervention study, examining the effects of the angiotensin II receptor blocker irbesartan. HRQOL was a secondary outcome measure. Main inclusion criteria: Dialysis vintage <1 year, left ventricular ejection fraction >30% and urinary output >300 mL/day. GFR was measured with mean creatinine and urea clearance from 24-hour urine collections at baseline, 6 and 12 months. FINDINGS Irbesartan treatment did not affect HRQOL. Patients were pooled into one group for further analyses. Decline in GFR correlated significantly with decreasing HRQOL over time. HRQOL was stable over time, with a slight nonsignificant tendency toward improved HRQOL. The largest HRQOL-differences (positive values equal improved HRQOL) observed during the 12 month study period were (mean[95% confidence interval]): Burden of kidney disease:6.4[-2.2;15.0], Role limitations-physical:12.7[-2.1;27.5], and Role limitations-emotional:9.7[-5.2;24.6]. Comorbidity, especially diabetes, hospital admissions, female gender, and age were strongly associated with lower HRQOL in cross sectional analysis. DISCUSSION Preservation of residual renal function seems to be important for HRQOL. In newly started HD patients, HRQOL showed little change after 12 months. HRQOL was negatively affected by comorbidity, especially diabetes, hospital admissions, female gender, and age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to generate evidence regarding the relationships of different dialysis modalities with HR-QOL. DESIGN A systematic review was conducted to investigate the HR-QOL of patients treated with different dialysis modalities. METHODS A literature search was conducted for English language articles in the CINAHL, Medline and PubMed databases published from January 1990 through May 2016. Specifically, we sought articles that would compare the HR-QOL of hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in terms of physiological, psychological and social functioning, as well as disease symptoms. Thirty-four articles met the study inclusion criteria and were included into the analysis. RESULTS The research results indicated no significant differences in HR-QOL between HD and PD treatment. However, a higher percentage of patients who received PD had a better HR-QOL in terms of physiological, psychological, social and disease symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Despite the fact that the results of this study showed no difference in HR-QOL between HD and PD treatment, its review of relevant references can serve as a reference for health professionals. However, patients' conditions must still be taken into account when making suggestions about which dialysis modality a patient should use.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease affects more than 30 million people in the United States, creating a significant disease burden. Peritoneal dialysis, an effective yet underused method of renal replacement therapy, can provide a high quality of life, maintain a patient's residual renal function, and decrease overall healthcare costs with little negative effect on patient morbidity or mortality. Given this, knowledge of the methods, outcomes, and costs of renal replacement therapy is essential to physician assistants.

Abstract
The lack of a suitable assessment tool may limit optimal stress management and impair the health-related quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. The purpose of the study was to examine latent constructs and psychometric properties of the Vietnamese Hemodialysis Stressor Scale (HSS-V). In total, 180 patients receiving hemodialysis were recruited. Psychometric properties of the HSS-V, including the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, were tested after the instrument translation. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 24-item HSS-V with four extracted factors, which explained 58.32% of the total variance. The construct validity was confirmed by significant negative correlations between scores on the HSS-V and Vietnamese-version Short Form-36. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .82-.91) and test-retest reliability (intra-class correlations coefficient = .91-.94) of the 24-item HSS-V were satisfactory. A simple structure and preliminary acceptable psychometric properties of the HSS-V were established and can serve as a basis for further studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic renal failure exposes patients to the risk of several complications, which will affect every aspect of patient's life, and eventually his hope. This study aims to determine the effect of stress management group training on hope in hemodialysis patients. METHOD In this quasi-experimental single-blind study, 50 patients with renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Motahari Hospital in Jahrom were randomly divided into stress management training and control groups. Sampling was purposive, and patients in stress management training group received 60-minute in-person training by the researcher (in groups of 5 to 8 patients) before dialysis, over 5 sessions, lasting 8 weeks, and a researcher-made training booklet was made available to them in the first session. Patients in the control group received routine training given to all patients in hemodialysis department. Patients' hope was recorded before and after intervention. Data collection tools included demographic details form, checklist of problems of hemodialysis patients and Miller hope scale (MHS). Data were analyzed in SPSS-18, using Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, and paired t-test. RESULTS Fifty patients were studied in two groups of 25 each. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age, gender, or hope before intervention. After 8 weeks of training, hope reduced from 95.92±12.63 to 91.16±11.06 (P=0.404) in the control group, and increased from 97.24±11.16 to 170.96±7.99 (P=0.001) in the stress management training group. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in hope scores after the intervention. CONCLUSION Stress management training by nurses significantly increased hope in hemodialysis patients. This low cost intervention can be used to improve hope in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify factors associated with the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of multiethnic Asian end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated with dialysis. The role of dialysis modality was also explored. METHODS Data used in this study were from two cross-sectional surveys of Singaporean ESRD patients on haemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). In both surveys, participants were assessed using the kidney disease quality of life (KDQOL) instrument and questions assessing socio-demographic characteristics. Clinical data including co-morbidity (measured by Charlson comorbidity index [CCI]), albumin level, haemoglobin level, and dialysis-related variables (e.g. dialysis vintage and dialysis adequacy) were retrieved from medical records. The 36-item KDQOL (KDQOL-36) was used to generate three summary scores (physical component summary [PCS], mental component summary [MCS] and kidney disease component summary [KDCS]) and two health utility scores (Short Form 6-dimension [SF-6D] and EuroQol 5-dimension [EQ-5D]). Linear regression analysis was performed to examine the association of factors with each of the HRQOL scale scores. RESULTS Five hundred and two patients were included in the study (mean age 57.1 years; male 52.4 %; HD 236, PD 266). Mean [standard deviation (SD)] PCS, MCS and KDCS scores were 37.9 (9.7), 46.4 (10.8) and 57.6 (18.1), respectively. Mean (SD) health utility score was 0.66 (0.12) for SF-6D and 0.60 (0.21) for EQ-5D. In multivariate regression analysis, factors found to be significantly associated with better HRQOL included: young (<45 years) or old age (>60 years), low CCI (<5), high albumin (≥37 g/l) and high haemoglobin (≥11 g/dl) with PCS; long dialysis vintage (≥3.5 years) with MCS; old age, Malay ethnicity and PD modality with KDCS; low CCI, high albumin and high haemoglobin with EQ-5D and high albumin with SF-6D. CONCLUSIONS Clinical characteristics are better predictors of HRQOL in ESRD patients than socio-demographics in Singapore. Dialysis modality has no impact on the health utility of those patients.

Abstract
A doença renal crônica terminal constitui grave problema de saúde pública. O estudo do impacto das terapias renais substitutivas (TRS) na qualidade de vida (QV) tem se tornado cada vez mais importante. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a QV de pacientes em TRS e os fatores a ela associados. Foram entrevistados 3036 pacientes em TRS no Brasil com relação a aspectos socioeconômicos, demográficos, clínicos e QV. Os pacientes foram selecionados de forma aleatória após processo de amostragem por conglomerado em dois níveis: serviços de saúde e pacientes. A QV foi medida pelo Eq5D. O instrumento permite a medida indireta da QV e o cálculo da utilidade, além da medida direta da QV pela escala visual analógica (EVA). Observou-se que pacientes transplantados possuem melhor QV e que os aspectos mais comprometidos são dor/desconforto e ansiedade/depressão. Os principais fatores associados à QV são idade, sexo feminino, variáveis associadas à condição clínica do paciente, como necessidade de internação e presença de comorbidades, a classe social e variáveis associadas ao serviço de saúde utilizado. A correlação entre EVA e a utilidade calculada foi moderada e as 5 questões do Eq5D explicam 43% da variabilidade da EVA. A utilidade calculada pode ser utilizada em avaliações de custo-utilidade.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement have impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and there is general consensus that HRQoL improves with successful transplant and evidence of improvement with frequent hemodialysis. This study reports changes in HRQoL associated with changes in treatment modality to daily hemodialysis (DHD) and transplant among patients requiring renal replacement. This cohort study had assessments at baseline and 6-month following modality change. Subjects were nondiabetic individuals receiving conventional hemodialysis who (a) remained on conventional hemodialysis (n = 13), (b) changed to daily hemodialysis (DHD) (n = 10), or (c) received a living donor transplant (n = 20). Thirty-four healthy controls were assessed once for comparison. HRQoL was measured using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument. The Physical Functioning and Physical Composite Scale scores were primary outcomes. Transplantation resulted in significant improvements in six of eight generic scales and the physical composite scale (PCS). Those changing to DHD had significant improvements in Physical Function and PCS scales. Those remaining on dialysis remained lower than controls on all scales except for Vitality; the transplant group remained lower than controls only on the Vitality and General Health scales. Transplant resulted in significant improvements in four of the seven disease-specific scales (symptoms, effects, and burden of kidney disease, work). DHD resulted in improvements in the effects of kidney disease. Modality change to transplant results in significant improvement in HRQoL, achieving levels similar to controls. Change to daily hemodialysis improves only select HRQoL domains and remains low in disease-specific domains.
