It consists of 36 items grouped in eight scales that evaluate different areas of health: Physical Functioning, Role Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role Emotional and Mental Health. These scales are grouped in two summary measures: Physical Health and Mental Health. This instrument was applied in the CKD stages 1-4 and kidney transplanted patients (KT).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">KDQOL-SF 1.3 is a questionnaire that includes not only the SF-36 scales but also specific dimensions of chronic kidney disease. This dimensions include 43 items that can be summarized in 12 scales: Symptom/problem list, Effects of kidney disease, Burden of kidney disease, Work status, Cognitive function, Quality of social interaction, Sexual function, Sleep, Social support, Dialysis staff encouragement, Overall health and Patient satisfaction.

We studied the association between the groups in qualitative variables by chi-square test or the contingency coefficient, as appropriate. For the quantitative variables, after checking normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the T-Student test or Mann-Whitney were used for two groups and the table ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis for the four groups, as appropriate.

The patients under antidepressant treatment (four patients with CKD stages 1-4, three transplanted patients, seven haemodialysis patients and one patient in peritoneal dialysis) had worst results in the Mental Health Component when compared with the remaining patients, not treated with antidepressants (36.62 ± 10.96 vs 44.17 ± 12.03; p <0.05).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">DISCUSSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold"> </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The two summary measures of the SF-36 allow a fast evaluation of the health-related QOL, with scarce loss of information when the eight scales are resumed in the two main components, Physical and Mental<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,8</span>.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Several studies have already compared the QOL of dialysis patients with the general population, the majority disclosing the negative impact of chronic kidney disease and its treatments<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9-14</span>.

In our view, the present study, even with the limitation of being an observational cross-sectional study with a small number of patients, has the particularity of evaluating the health-related QOL in four groups of patients with CKD in various phases and under different renal replacement treatments (HD, PD and kidney transplant).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The worst results were registered in the scale «General Health» of the Physical Health Component.

This situation can be explained by the psychological adaptation of the sick person to the chronic illness, with a declining repercussion of the disease in its Mental Health. In our study, Physical Health was better in peritoneal dialysis patients but these differences disappeared after adjustment to confounding factors such as age and gender. Curiously, the transplanted patients didn´t achieve better results in any scale of the Physical or Mental Health Components, although these patients proved previously in other studies to have a better QOL comparing to dialysis patients<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18,19</span>.

In our study, the PD group achieved better scores in scales like «Effects of kidney disease», «Burden of kidney disease» and «Patient satisfaction» and these results were maintained after adjustment for confounding factors. Our young peritoneal dialysis patients selected this dialytic technique to keep their active lives and the possibility to study or work. So, they are a more autonomous and motivated group. On the other hand, our haemodialysis patients are integrated in a Hospital Unit that selects older, sicker and more dependent persons. These facts may be a partial explanation for the better results of our PD patients. Another factor that may contribute for the lesser effect of the kidney disease in the QOL and better patient satisfaction may be the continuous treatment of uremia in PD. Individual characteristics of personality are obviously not evaluated in our study, but must also be considered when analysing these results.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Variables like age, gender and haemoglobin level were related with scales like «Physical Health Component», «Physical functioning», «Bodily pain», «Overall health» and «Work status».

Objetivo: Evaluar la CV relacionada con la salud en cuatro grupos de pacientes controlados en nuestro Servicio de Nefrología: pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica (ERC) en fases 1 - 4, trasplante renal (TR), hemodiálisis (HD) y diálisis peritoneal (DP). Pacientes y métodos: De forma aleatoria se incluyeron 30 pacientes con ERC en fases 1 – 4 y 30 trasplantados renales. También se incluyeron todos aquellos pacientes de nuestras Unidades de Hemodiálisis y Diálisis Peritoneal que eran capaces de responder los cuestionarios (37 y 14, respectivamente). Los cuestionarios que se utilizaron fueron el SF-36 y el KDQOL-SF 1.3. Resultados: Los cuatro grupos obtuvieron mejores resultados en la dimensión "Función social" (77,68 ± 18,46 en DP; 74,17 ± 29,53 en TR; 66,81 ± 31,39 en ERC 1-4; 62,16 ± 32,84 en HD; p = 0,192). Las puntuaciones más bajas se obtuvieron en la dimensión "Salud general" (39,92 ± 19,12 en IRC; 45,95 ± 21,56 en HD; 47,13 ± 23,15 en TR; 51,79 ± 18,89 en DP; p = 0,321). Los pacientes con diálisis peritoneal presentaron los mejores resultados en cuanto a la Salud Física, sin que la diferencia se mantuviese tras la corrección de los factores de confusión. La edad, el sexo y la concentración de hemoglobina fueron las variables que se asociaron con la CV. Sin embargo, los pacientes con DP obtuvieron mejores puntuaciones que los pacientes con HD en las siguientes dimensiones del KDQOL-SF: "Efectos de la enfermedad renal", "Carga de la enfermedad renal" y "Satisfacción del paciente" (p < 0,05). Conclusiones: La CV relacionada con la salud medida mediante dimensiones específicas de la enfermedad renal crónica fue mejor en pacientes con diálisis peritoneal que en pacientes con hemodiálisis.
