Use of the KDQOL-36™ for assessment of health-related quality of life among dialysis patients in the United States

Abstract

Survey completion rates for the KDQOL-36™ were high, and scores were similar across dialysis modalities. Ceiling effects were observed for SPKD. Revision of the KDQOL-36™ to address factors that are most important to contemporary dialysis patients may be warranted.
