Is low health-related quality of life associated with all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes on haemodialysis : the Japan Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Pattern Study?
The physical component score derived from the SF-36 is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with diabetes on haemodialysis who generally had very low HRQoL scores. Baseline mental component score was not predictive of mortality. Patient self-reporting regarding the physical component of health status may aid in risk stratification and clinical decision making for patients with diabetes on haemodialysis.
In CCRT of non-surgical ESCC, MTV before treatment could independently predict OS survival. SUVmaxpet2, SUVmaxpet3, and SUVmaxpet4 could predict RFS. Patients with reductions of SUVmaxpet4 less than 75% had a poor PFS, RFS, and OS.
