...Sofia Mclaren; Manisha Jhamb; Mark Unruh Patients with CKD and ESRD are vulnerable to increased mortality rates and other poor outcomes. Among those with ESRD, their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is shown little to no improvement as they undergo treatments such as dialysis and providers...

... ( p = 0.009). Conclusions: In conventional HD patients, the expanded clearance of large middle molecules with MCO-HD membranes was associated with higher health-related quality of life scores and a decrease in the prevalence of RLS. Table 1. Patient demographics and characteristics at baseline...

...Sara Ezzat; Samar Tharwat; Sherihan Abdelsalam; Ehab E. Eltoraby Background/Aims: Hemodialysis (HD) represents one of the most commonly used modalities as a renal replacement therapy. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is much lower in HD patients than general population. Musculoskeletal (MSK...

...-weekly HD appears to be an appropriate treatment for many ESRD patients, they continue to show markedly decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and survival [ 3 ]. The cost of HD treatment is inherently high, typically 100-300 USD per treatment in most industrialized nations; hence it places...

... impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Testing various strategies to improve patient HRQOL in multicenter clinical trials, such as the Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) trials is vitally important. Aims: Theaim of this paper is to describe the design and conduct of HRQOL and patient-reported...

... health-related quality of life (HRQoL) domains (p < 0.001). In the Cox-proportional hazard model, only poor physical dimension of HRQoL was independently associated with higher mortality. Conclusion: Poor physical dimension in HRQoL is a strong predictor of mortality among hemodialysis patients...
