Confounders of HRQOL Measures
PTDM, PCKD, polycystic kidney disease
REGRESSION
In the univariable regression analysis, early postoperative insulin treatment was not significantly associated with the PCS or MCS scores at any timepoint but being in the low-risk group for developing PTDM was significantly related to a better PCS score at 24 months after transplantation (Beta: 5.1, 95% CI: 0.54–9.6, Univariable regression analyses of confounders for changes in KDQOL-SF™ physical and mental component scores at 6, 12, and 24 months after kidney transplantation.Statistically significant Numbers represent the beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals in each group and variable, while Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-Reactive Protein; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; MCS, mental component score; PCKD, polycystic kidney disease; PCS, physical component score.Neither the PCS nor the MCS scores were associated with early postoperative insulin treatment or risk-profile in our multivariable analysis (Multivariable regression analyses of confounders for changes in KDQOL-SF™ physical and mental component scores at 6, 12, and 24 months after kidney transplantation.Statistically significant Numbers represent the beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals in each group and variable, while N represents the number of patients with available data.Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-Reactive Protein; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; MCS, mental component score; PCKD, polycystic kidney disease; PCS, physical component score.
