Longitudinal patterns of health-related quality of life and dialysis modality: a national cohort study

Abstract: BackgroundHealth-related quality of life (HrQoL) varies among dialysis patients. However, little is known about the association of dialysis modality with HrQoL over time. We describe longitudinal patterns of HrQoL among chronic dialysis patients by treatment modality.MethodsNational retrospective cohort study of adult patients who initiated in-center dialysis or a home modality (peritoneal or home hemodialysis) between 1/2013 and 6/2015. Patients remained on the same modality for the first 120 days of the firs… Show more

“…In-centre SDHD is a well-established modality of therapy in the literature, which is associated with improved health related quality of life as compared to conventional haemodialysis [19], but it does require that patients have to attend the dialysis centre more frequently. In this regard, there may be room for home haemodialysis that could offer the benefits reported in the present study with more autonomy and perhaps a better quality of life [20].…”

“…The China Q study by Yu et al (NCT02378350, pending publication) is comparing QOL between 668 patients on either PD or ICHD over 1 year. In addition, a recent large retrospective cohort analysis 34 posed a similar question to the present study, comparing health-related QOL over time between patients (n = 5114) who initiated ICHD or home dialysis (PD or HHD) at multiple time points via the KDQOL scale. Despite the relatively large sample size, the study demonstrated no significant differences in QOL over time between groups after 485 days.…”

“…The low physical health scores demonstrate that daily activities were disturbed in hemodialysis patients as they were more dependent on renal replacement treatment for their survival. While the present study did not categorize patients as to the type of dialysis modality used, one study reported that incenter dialysis patients had lower physical functioning compared with home modality patients [70]. Another study explored the impact of exercise programs on the physical fitness of hemodialysis patients, and the results were significantly better after the initiation of intervention [71].…”
