“…There are also examples of nonpsychiatric illness in which disease severity has been shown to be only one of many factors that contribute to the degree of impairment that a patient experiences. Julius et al (27) demonstrated this in a study of patients with end-stage renal disease. Harris et al (28) compared patients with less severe chronic renal insufficiency to patients with other chronic medical illness and community subjects and reported that the renal patients had significant functional disability according to the Sickness Impact Profile (29).…”

P anic attacks are highly prevalent in the United States (1), and 5%-8% of patients who present to primary care suffer from panic disorder; many more have infrequent panic attacks (2). People with panic attacks have a higher degree of functional disability than subjects without panic attacks (3). Panic disorder patients tend to be high users of health care services (3, 4), and they perceive their physical and emotional health to be much worse than comparison subjects (3, 5). They are also at higher risk for substance abuse, suicide attempts, marital problems, and financial dependency (6, 7).Leon and colleagues (8) analyzed the relationship between DSM-III-R symptoms in patients with panic disorder and functional impairment as measured by the Sheehan Disability Scales (9). The three clinical variables that were measured (frequency of attacks, percentage of time spent worrying about attacks, and degree of phobic anxiety) accounted for 37% of the variance in impairment, while the number of criterion symptoms during an attack and fear intensity did not add to impairment. Leon et al. concluded that DSM-III-R criteria account for less than half of the impairment experienced by patients with panic disorder and that other variables need to be studied (8).It is not known what other variables account for the impairment in patients with panic disorder. Other psychiatric disorders frequently coexist with panic. Between 44% and 91% of patients with panic disorder have major depression (10), and people with major de-

“…The physical restrictions are associated, mostly, to the frequent occurrence of comorbidity and side effects of the immunosuppressive therapy. The presence of comorbidity [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] has been considered as a predictor of worse quality of life after renal transplantation, particularly diabetes [29,30], although the quality of life of the diabetic patient submitted to dialysis improves after transplantation [1]. Besides the patients with diabetes previous to transplantation, up to 25% of all graft recipients at 3 years posttransplant have new-onset diabetes, as a side effect of the immunosuppressive drugs [31].…”

Factors associated with health-related quality of life after successful kidney transplantation: a population-based study

Among the studied variables, comorbidity and graft function were the main factors associated with the PCSc, and sociodemographic variables and graft function were the main determinants of MCSc. Despite comprehensive, the final regression models explained only a little part of the heath-related quality of life variance. Additional factors, such as personal, environmental and clinical ones might influence quality of life perceived by the patients after kidney transplantation.

“…Studies with more proper analysis of predictive variables are unfortunately scarce. Searching the literature, we identified ten such studies (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Their results are heterogenous depending on study design, composition of the target population and explored variables.…”

“…Their results are heterogenous depending on study design, composition of the target population and explored variables. Age is the best explored variable, and the majority of studies found higher age to be the most important negative predictor of perceived health status (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The results are less clear for gender because only the study made by Wight et al, who compared cohorts of 292 dialysis and 228 transplanted patients, found female gender to be connected with worse physical functioning in kidney transplant recipients (7).…”

Race is not a frequently reported variable as only a few multiethnic studies have been performed in this field, all showing white race associated with better results (11)(12)(13). Similarly only a few studies have explored socio-economic variables.…”

Major differences exist in PHS among kidney transplant recipients depending on their age. Side effects of therapy are the most important predictor of PHS for all age groups. PHS of young patients mostly depends on their renal function and their social support. Education and working activities are most important for middle-aged people whereas in older patients PHS is mostly affected by comorbidity.
