Eilean Rathinasamy Lazarus (2018) conducted an RCT in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) (n=150). Education and exercise intervention vs. Routine care was evaluated on Kidney Disease and general QoL sub-scales (p=< 0.01). An education and exercise intervention significantly improved Kidney Disease and general quality of life scores compared to routine care (mean 66.5 vs 55.25; p < 0.01) in patients with ESRD.
