“…as the age increases, patients' physical and mental health function decreases. Several other studies [8,[13][14][15][16]] also goes along with the above findings that the low scores on QOL was related to older age. Regarding the gender factor, female patients were found to have low QOL than those of the male patients (p<0.05).…”

The quality of life (QOL) needs to be regularly assessed in haemodialysis (HD) setting. Our study describes QOL as well as demographic and clinical variables associated with QOL in Nepalese patients undergoing HD. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to measure the QOL and association of selected variables with quality of life in haemodialysis patients at BPKIHS. Fifty patients were chosen by purposive sampling technique.

“…Gender did not have a significant influence on the V-RQOL Questionnaire, which confirms the data in the literature [5,6,16,30] . In contrast to other diseases [31,32] , the subjective burden elicited by dysphonia is not perceived differently by women and men. This is important with regard to methodological aspects, as the V-RQOL Questionnaire [20][21][22] does not have to be evaluated in a gender-specific way [33] .…”

Objective: This study focuses on the relation between objective voice quality and the self-perception of a voice handicap. Patients and Methods: The study group consisted of 86 German-speaking patients (51 women, 35 men) suffering from benign dysphonia. The test persons completed the German version of the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) Questionnaire without prior information about their diagnosis and underwent voice analysis with the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) being the parameter of this study. Results: No correlation between V-RQOL and DSI could be found (p > 0.05). On the V-RQOL, women scored worse than men, but not at a significant level. Patients with dysphonia of organic origin scored significantly worse than patients with functional dysphonia (p = 0.026). On the DSI, men’s values were significantly lower than women’s (p = 0.001). Organic dysphonia caused significantly lower DSI values than functional dysphonia (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Objective voice quality and the individual perception of voice quality by the patient are independent parameters. Both need to be assessed in clinical practice.

“…Time on dialysis was independently associated with a better HRQoL in all dimensions studied. For instance, prospective studies in HD populations have demonstrated an improvement on HRQoL over time [9,38]. Higher hemoglobin levels were associated with better physical HRQoL.…”
