Impact of chronic kidney disease on health-related quality of life in the pediatric population: meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: The findings of this study show that pediatric patients have lower health-related quality of life in all the evaluated dimensions, with the "school" dimension being the most affected and the "emotional" one the least. In this sense, we suggest monitoring the health-related quality of life of pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease so that interventions can be oriented to strengthen the affected dimensions, including adjustments to daily life and prevention of complications related to the disease.
