Abstract
|
|
|
Given the emerging medical and social impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD), many leading countries have established CKD cohorts with an aim to achieve evidence-based standardized clinical practice guidelines. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) established the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
(KNOW-CKD); a longitudinal study from 2011 to 2016. KNOW-CKD conducted numerous studies on the various aspects of
CKD, many of which included studies on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this study was to assess the HRQOL of CKD patients. The HRQOL of CKD patients was assessed at the start of the study. Findings indicated that, as each patient’s CKD progressed, all the HRQOL indices, including the kidney specific component summary score, the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary score (MCS) grew poorer. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with poor QOL, and adequate sleep (7 hours a day) was associated with the best QOL. Furthermore, abdominal obesity was associated with lower PCS, and lower QOL was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression, cardiovascular events, and increased mortality. This study recommended that efforts be made to improve the QOL of CKD patients.
