ABSTRACT:

Objective

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) leads to renal replacement therapy and certainly has an impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to review and compare the HRQoL between peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQoL-5-dimension (EQ-5D) and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL).

Systematic review was conducted by identify relevant studies through MEDLINE and SCOPUS up to April 2017.

The unstandardized mean differences (USMD) of HRQoL among modalities were calculated and pooled using a random-effe
