| Popis: | Background: To identify factors of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Chinese end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: In all, 315 HD patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Suzhou, China. Each patient completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form. It generated 4 types of HRQOL scores: PCS score, MCS score, kidney disease component summary (KDCS) score, and SF-6D index score. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to identify the factors associated with each of the scores. Results: Factors associated with poorer HRQOL were determined including: middle age and above (≥45 years), without partner, presence of complication, long dialysis vintage (≥4.5 years) with physical component summary; low education level, presence of comorbidity, long dialysis vintage, low hemoglobin level with mental component summary; without partner, presence of comorbidity, long dialysis vintage with KDCS; middle age and above, without partner, low education level; long dialysis vintage, more frequent dialysis (≥2 times/week) with SF-6D. Conclusion: The study evaluated the HRQOL of HD patients in mainland China. |
