| Popis: | Background: Disability is prevalent in individuals with kidney failure and can contribute to significantly reduced quality of life and survival. In older individuals with kidney failure, disability can be caused by a combination of factors, including issues directly related to their kidney disease and/or treatment, including weakness, low energy, and low activity. Few studies have investigated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as a possible predictor of disability among older individuals experiencing kidney failure. Objective: This study aimed to determine if patient-reported HRQoL, and/or other factors at baseline, predicts disability in people with kidney failure, aged ≥65 years, after 12 months of follow-up. Design: The DOS65+ study was an accelerated longitudinal cohort design comprising of both cross-sectional and longitudinal components. Participants were eligible if they were aged ≥65 years, had chronic kidney disease stage 5G (CKD G5) (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) |
