Key result
Study compares in-hospital dialysis versus home PD for QoL in patients with CKD.
Why the study?
With the expanding use of various dialysis modalities in India, evaluating their influence on patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes is increasingly important.
Does in-hospital dialysis compared to home peritoneal dialysis improve quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance dialysis?

Observational study assesses quality of life in CKD patients on different dialysis modalities, highlighting significant disparities.
Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing maintenance dialysis encounter substantial lifestyle restrictions, emotional strain, and economic challenges that together affect their overall quality of life (QoL). With the expanding use of various dialysis modalities in India, it is increasingly important to evaluate their influence on patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes. Aim of the study was to assess quality of life indices in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis and compare QoL between in-hospital dialysis (hemodialysis/Hemodiafiltration) and home peritoneal dialysis (PD).
