Survival of Dialysis Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome: A 15-Year Follow-Up Study

Conclusions: Our study suggests that mortality in ESRD patients is not influenced by concomitant RLS/WED. After a 15-year follow-up, survival rates in our cohort were significantly longer in uremic subjects with RLS/WED than in those without RLS/WED. Finally, we found no relationship between RLS/WED severity and mortality.Am J Nephrol 2017;46:224-230
