Exploring Predictors of Quality of Life in Older Adults With End-Stage Kidney Disease Receiving In-Center Hemodialysis
Exploring Predictors of Quality of Life in Older Adults With End-Stage Kidney Disease Receiving In-Center Hemodialysis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Sociodemographic, Dialysis-specific, Biopsychosocial, and Activity-Related Factors
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Aug 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This cross-sectional observational study investigates the overall quality of life (QoL) in adults aged 65 and older receiving in-center hemodialysis. While health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is commonly used in nephrology, it may not fully reflect what matters most to older patients. Using the Amnestic Comparative Self-Assessment (ACSA) as the primary measure, this study explores key determinants of QoL and examines how it relates to existing HRQoL tools (EQ-5D-3L, EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-MY20). Data are collected from four hospitals in Flanders, Belgium, using psychosocial (geriatric) assessments. Statistical analysis includes regression and cluster methods to identify predictors and patient subgroups. Results aim to inform more patient-centered care and improve QoL measurement in dialysis research.
