Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem. CKD causes patients to be hospitalized for a longer time to treat the disease. The impact of the hospitalization brings major changes and affects the quality of life (QoL) of the patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of hospitalization on the QoL of patients with CKD. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the inpatient departments (IPDs) and outpatient departments (OPDs) of selected hospitals, in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. The kidney disease quality of life (KDQOL) scale was used for the data collection and the findings were analyzed. The hospitalized patients had a poorer QoL than the OPD patients. The physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) mean scores were 52.82 ± 2.32 and 52.57 ± 2.93 in IPD patients, respectively, and 63.46 ± 3.65 and 66.39 ± 0.91 in OPD patients, respectively, which was significant (p < 0.0001). The QoL of patients decreased in the end stages of CKD. A significant association was observed between gender, occupation, smoking, and the stages of CKD with the QoL of the hospitalized patients. Measures must be taken to improve the QoL of these patients at all levels.
慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一个全球性的健康问题。CKD 导致患者需要住院更长时间来治疗疾病。住院带来的影响会发生重大变化，并影响患者的生活质量（QoL）。在这项研究中，我们旨在评估住院对 CKD 患者生活质量的影响。在沙特阿拉伯东部的选定医院的住院部（IPD）和门诊部（OPD）进行了一项横断面研究。使用肾脏病生活质量（KDQOL）量表进行数据收集，并对研究结果进行了分析。住院患者的生活质量比门诊患者差。住院患者的生理成分综合评分（PCS）和心理成分综合评分（MCS）均值分别为 52.82±2.32 和 52.57±2.93，门诊患者的分别为 63.46±3.65 和 66.39±0.91，差异具有统计学意义（p＜0.0001）。随着 CKD 终末期的发展，患者的生活质量下降。患者的生活质量与性别、职业、吸烟以及 CKD 分期之间存在显著关联。必须采取措施，在各个层面上提高这些患者的生活质量。
