Predictors of quality of life in patients within the first year of commencing haemodialysis based on baseline data from the PIVOTAL trial and associations with the study outcomes

CONCLUSION: Quality of life was impaired in patients starting haemodialysis. A higher C-reactive protein level level was a consistent independent predictor of the majority of worse quality of life. Transferrin saturation ≤ 20% was associated with worse physical component score of quality of life. Baseline quality of life was predictive of all-cause mortality and the primary outcome measure.EUDRACT REGISTRATION NUMBER: 2013-002267-25.PMID:36995528 | PMC:PMC10061401 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01571-6
