Key result
Hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis showed no significant difference in overall quality of life among ESRD patients, though income and treatment duration affected QOL (p=0.05).

Does hemodialysis compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis improve quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Quality of life does not significantly differ between ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis versus continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, though it is affected by income and duration of treatment.
Sittisongkram et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) (n=76). Hemodialysis (HD) vs. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was evaluated on Quality of life (QOL). Hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis showed no significant difference in overall quality of life among ESRD patients, though income and treatment duration affected QOL (p=0.05).
