Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study
In evaluations of dialysis therapy, an assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is often important. The aim of this study was to determine the basic psychometric properties, reliability and validity of the short form of the KDQOL i.e. the KDQOL-SF, a dialysis-targeted instrument, and to assess its ability to detect changes over time.
