Abstract

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key outcome in chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet data from low- and lower-middle income countries (LLMICs) are underrepresented. The study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed HRQoL among CKD patients in LLMICs by disease stage and treatment modality.
