Living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) imparts the best graft and patient survival for most end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. Yet, there remains variation in post-LDKT health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Improved understanding of post-LDKT HRQOL can help identify patients for interventions to maximize the benefit of LDKT.
For 477 LDKT recipients transplanted between 11/2007 and 08/2016, we assessed physical, mental, social, and kidney-targeted HRQOL pre-LDKT, as well as 3 and 12 months post-operatively using the SF-36, Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQOL-SF), and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index 19 item version (FKSI-19). We then examined trajectories of each HRQOL domain using latent growth curve models (LGCMs). We also examined associations between decline in HRQOL from 3 months to 12 months post-LDKT and death censored graft failure (DCGF) using Cox regression.
Large magnitude effects (d > 0.80) were observed from pre- to post-LDKT change on the SF-36 Vitality scale (d = 0.81) and the KDQOL-SF Burden of Kidney Disease (d = 1.05). Older age and smaller pre- to post-LDKT decreases in serum creatinine were associated with smaller improvements on many HRQOL scales across all domains in LGCMs. Higher DCGF rates were associated with worse physical [e.g., SF-36 PCS hazard ratio (HR) 1.18; 95% CI 1.01-1.38], mental (KDQOL-SF Cognitive Function HR 1.27; 95% CI 1.00-1.62), and kidney-targeted (FKSI-19 HR: 1.18; 95% CI 1.00-1.38) HRQOL domains.
Clinical HRQOL monitoring may help identify patients who are most likely to have failing grafts and who would benefit from post-LDKT intervention.
对于大多数终末期肾病(ESKD)患者而言,活体供肾移植(LDKT)可带来最佳的移植物和患者存活率。然而,LDKT 后的健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)仍存在差异。更好地了解 LDKT 后的 HRQOL 有助于确定需要干预的患者,以最大限度地提高 LDKT 的获益。
我们评估了 477 例于 2007 年 11 月至 2016 年 8 月期间接受 LDKT 的患者在 LDKT 前、术后 3 个月和 12 个月的身体、心理、社会和肾脏靶向 HRQOL,使用 SF-36、肾脏病生活质量简表(KDQOL-SF)和癌症治疗功能评估-肾脏症状指数 19 项版本(FKSI-19)进行评估。然后,我们使用潜在增长曲线模型(LGCM)检查每个 HRQOL 域的轨迹。我们还使用 Cox 回归分析了 LDKT 后 3 个月至 12 个月期间 HRQOL 下降与死亡相关移植物失败(DCGF)之间的关系。
从 LDKT 前到后,SF-36 活力量表(d=0.81)和 KDQOL-SF 肾脏疾病负担量表(d=1.05)的变化均观察到较大的效应量(d>0.80)。在 LGCM 中,年龄较大和术前至术后血清肌酐下降幅度较小与大多数 HRQOL 量表在所有领域的改善较小有关。更高的 DCGF 发生率与较差的身体(例如,SF-36 PCS 风险比[HR]1.18;95%CI 1.01-1.38)、心理(KDQOL-SF 认知功能 HR 1.27;95%CI 1.00-1.62)和肾脏靶向(FKSI-19 HR:1.18;95%CI 1.00-1.38)HRQOL 领域相关。
临床 HRQOL 监测可能有助于识别最有可能发生移植物衰竭的患者,并为 LDKT 后干预提供获益。
