| Abstract: | BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) deteriorating disease which is not only a public health but also a socioeconomic problem. Interest in developing cost-effective interventions to control CKD has increased. The aim of this study was to measure HRQOL in terms of quality-adjustment weights for cost-effectiveness analysis using EQ-5D in patients with CKD. The relationships between the measured HRQOL and clinical indices/complications were also analyzed. |
