Key result
Peritoneal dialysis was associated with significantly higher overall quality of life, physical functioning, and physical role functioning scores compared to hemodialysis (P <0.05).
Why the study?
Does peritoneal dialysis improve quality of life compared to hemodialysis in patients requiring dialysis?
Population
92 patients requiring dialysis at a single center in Isfahan, Iran.
Comparison
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) vs Hemodialysis (HD)
Design
Cross-sectional

Does peritoneal dialysis improve quality of life compared to hemodialysis in patients requiring dialysis?
p-value: p=<0.05
Peritoneal dialysis may be associated with better physical functioning and overall quality of life compared to hemodialysis.
Atapour et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Patients requiring dialysis (n=92). Peritoneal dialysis vs. Hemodialysis was evaluated on Overall score of the SF-36 tool (p=<0.05). Peritoneal dialysis was associated with significantly higher overall quality of life, physical functioning, and physical role functioning scores compared to hemodialysis (P <0.05).
