Background: Assessment of quality of life (QOL) of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (physical, mental, and social well-being) has become an essential tool to develop better plans of care. Objective of this study is to determine which demographic and biochemical parameters correlate with the QOL scores in patients with ESRD on hemodialysis (HD) using Kidney Disease QOL-36 surveys (KDQOL). Methods: A retrospective chart review of all ESRD patients who underwent HD at an outpatient center. The five components of the KDQOL were the primary end points of this study (burden of kidney disease, symptoms and problems, effects of kidney disease on daily life, mental component survey, and physical component survey). Scores were grouped into three categories (below average, average, and above average). In addition to demographics (age, sex, and race), the independent variables such as weight gain, number of years on dialysis, urea reduction ratio, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, albumin, and hemoglobin in the serum were collected. Chi-square analysis for dependent variables and the nominal independent variables was used, and analysis of variance analysis was used for continuous independent variables. Ordinal regression using PLUM (polytomous universal model) method was used to weigh out possible effects of confounders. Results: The cohort size was 111 patients. Mean age was 61.8 (±15.5) years; there were more males than females (64.9% vs 35.1%), the mean time-on-dialysis at the time of the study was 4.3 (4.8) years. Approximately two-thirds of the responses on all five domains of the questionnaire ranked average when compared to the national numbers. The remainders were split between above average (20.6%) and below average (13.4%). In our cohort, no relationships were statistically significant between the five dependent variables of interest and the independent variables by chi-square-and t-test analyses. This was further confirmed by regression analysis. Of note, sex carried the strongest statistical significance (with a P-value of 0.16) as a predictor of "the burden of kidney disease on daily life" in ordinal regression. Conclusion: Prior studies have shown variables such as serum phosphate level, intradialytic weight gain, and dialysis adequacy are associated with lower KDQOL scores; however, this was not evident in our analysis likely due to smaller sample size. Larger size studies are required to better understand the predictors of QOL in ESRD patients on HD.

“…The Chinese version of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form C (C-MHLC-C) is now available [26]. The goal of the current investigation was to determine whether the measurement characteristics of the C-MHLC-C in pregnant Chinese women are similar to those found in pregnant women in the UK and are consistent with the four-factor measurement model of the MHLC-C proposed by Wallston et al [25].…”

Objective To establish whether women's preference for elective caesarean section (ELCS) changes as gestation advances.Design A prospective longitudinal observational study.Setting Two units providing obstetric care in Hong Kong, one public and one private.Sample Five hundred and one nulliparous Chinese pregnant women attending their routine fetal anomaly scan in either unit.Methods Consented subjects had two interviews using a structured questionnaire at 18-22 weeks and 35-37 weeks of gestation, respectively. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify determinants for preferring ELCS at the two gestational ages.Main outcome measure The preferences for the mode of delivery at the two gestational ages.Results The prevalence of maternal preference for ELCS in the study cohort was 17.2% (95% CI 13.9-20.5) and 12.7% (95% CI 9.6-15.8) at mid-trimester and at term, respectively. Significantly more women who preferred ELCS at mid-trimester changed to a trial of vaginal delivery (VD) at term than vice versa (42.0 versus 3.8%). The partner's preference for ELCS was a significant determinant for women preferring ELCS throughout the antenatal period. Among the women booked in the public sector, more women who preferred ELCS at term changed to deliver in private hospitals than those who preferred VD (46.2 versus 9.7%).Conclusions Many women changed from preferring ELCS to preferring VD as their pregnancy approached term. The partner's preference was a significant determinant for the women's choice. If a decrease in the proportion of women preferring ELCS is desired, the intervention programme should target the women and their partners who hold such a preference at 20 weeks.

Psychosocial correlates of fluid compliance among Chinese haemodialysis patients

Abstract: The present findings suggest that assessing family income, comorbidity, and satisfaction with social support may be useful in identifying haemodialysis patients potentially at risk for difficulties in compliance with fluid restriction.
