Health-related quality of life in patients on maintenance hemodialysis: Evidence from southern Iran using EQ-5D-5L and KDQOL-SF
HRQoL among HD patients in southern Iran was markedly reduced and influenced by socioeconomic, lifestyle, and treatment-related factors. Enhancing patient education, expanding insurance coverage, addressing gaps in social support, and incorporating lifestyle interventions-such as smoking cessation-may be associated with modest improvements in HRQoL outcomes in this population.
