Abstract
Little is known on long-term outcomes in kidney transplantation. This study evaluated changes and predictors of generic and transplantation-specific health-related quality of life (HQoL) over six years in N=102 kidney transplant survivors using the Short-form Health Survey-36 and the Transplant Effects questionnaire. Mixed models analysis was used to determine long-term outcomes. Emotional HQoL improved over time: Mental Component score, Mental Health, Energy (Ps=.000). Physical HQoL deteriorated: Physical Component Score (P=.001), Pain (P=.002). LRD transplant recipients had greater decline in physical functioning (P=.003) and PCS (P=.000) compared to cadaver recipients. Worry about the transplant (P=.036) and feelings of responsibility (P=.008) increased significantly over time. Worry about the transplant and perceived ability to work predicted 12.7% and 31.1% in variance in MCS and PCS, respectively. Efforts should be made to maintain HQoL and emotional outcomes with ongoing monitoring and support programs throughout the course of posttransplant care.
