Are both psychological and physical dimensions in health-related quality of life associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients: a 7-year Taiwan cohort study.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The present study aimed to determine the variables that are associated with a longer dialysis recovery time (DRT) and to define the relationship that exists between DRT and the ultrafiltration rate (UFR) in prevalent chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients. METHODS:We studied 210 prevalent CHD of 5 hemodialys...
