Abstrakt: Researchers at Fresenius Medical Care North America conducted a study to investigate the relationship between Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and survival and hospitalization rates among dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients. The study found that higher HRQoL scores were associated with significantly lower mortality and hospitalization risk over a 12-month follow-up period. The research concluded that patient-reported outcomes provide valuable insights into patients' health, but noted potential limitations such as residual confounding and selection bias due to high attrition rates.
