The associations of hemodialysis access type and access satisfaction with health-related quality of life.
This study sought to understand the impact of hemodialysis (HD) access type on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The study concluded that HD patients experience greatest satisfaction with fistula, and access satisfaction is significantly associated with better HRQOL. Controlling for access satisfaction, there is no significant independent association of access type on HRQOL.
