Similarly, correlations between the IIRS and the
KDQOL subscales were high: burden of CKD was -0.75, symptoms/problems was -0.52, and effect on daily life was -0.80 (see Table 9).
Los instrumentos para evaluar la calidad de vida en paciente con ERCA se pueden clasificar como genericos y especificos dependiendo a la poblacion a la cual este dirigido, los genericos son instrumentos que se pueden utilizar en diferentes pacientes y su diseno pretende obtener un aspecto de calidad de vida que pueda aplicarse en distintos contextos, como es el caso de la escala SF-36, SF-12, WHOQOL BREF; los especificos pueden serlo para una enfermedad en concreto, o por grupo etario con diferentes alteraciones (8), estas ultimas son las caracteristicas de las escalas
KDQOL 36 y WHOQOL OLD (29,30).
Socio-economic factors like education, employment, income, funding was compared with
KDQOL sub scales and were found statistically significant (p-value (<0.05).
The
KDQOL, a well validity instrument for assessing the quality of life (QOL) in people with ESKD (Joshi, Mooppil & Lim, 2010; Perlman et al, 2005; Unruh, Weisbord & Kimmel, 2005), consists of 36 items divided into 19 dimensions.
Disease-specific measures such as the RAND Kidney Disease Quality of Life (
KDQoL) measure (Hays et al., 1994) and the Kidney Disease Questionnaire (Laupacis et al., 1992) were also applied.
En las dimensiones del cuestionario generico del SF-36, que complementa al
KDQOL, el Rol Fisico, la Salud General y la Funcion Fisica, son las mas afectadas, algo comun con algun estudio (26).
In the workshop, four measures were considered as potentially suitable for ESRD patients: the Dartmouth COOP Charts (Nelson et al., 1990 and 1996), the Duke Health Profile (DUKE) (Parkerson, Broadhead, and Tse, 1990; Parkerson, 1997), the SF-36 Health Survey (SF36) (Ware and Sherbourne, 1992; Ware, 1993), and the RAND Kidney Disease Quality of Life instrument (
KDQOL) (Hays et al., 1994).
Para la evaluacion de la CV en pacientes con ERC el cuestionario mas idoneo es el The Kidney Disease Quality of Life (
KDQOL) ya que es un instrumento de medicion especifico y generico que cuenta con 36 items y fue disenado para pacientes con ERC que se encuentren bajo TRS.
Another study of patients on 3 versus 6 days/week home HD found significant improvements in the effects and burdens of kidney disease domains of the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (
KDQOL) questionnaire in the 6-days/week home HD group, but no significant difference in overall QOL.

KDQOL) Instrument.
The Kidney Disease Quality of Life (
KDQOL)-36 is a questionnaire offered to all patients on dialysis to measure the effects of chronic illness to understand more clearly how renal failure interferes with daily living (Hays, Kallich, Mapes, Coons, & Carter, 1994).
