Abstract

Aims: To look for the scientific literature in the last six years about the quality of life of pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease.
Methods: The next databases were used: PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, ProQuest, Web of Knowledge and SciVerse. Only scientific papers written either in English or Spanish as well as having a cross-sectional design were considered. The main variables affecting the quality of life, amongst which stand out therapeutics, were analyzed. Also, the different ways for measuring the quality of life as well as differences in its perception between patients and their families were studied.
Results: Thirteen papers were found: only one of them used specifically prepared questionnaire for this type of patients, ten used general questionnaires and the last two papers mixed both types. The general questionnaires studied the variable "therapeutic modality" used as well as other factors affecting the quality of life such as dream and mental disorders; on the other side, the specific questionnaire only studied the variable "therapeutic modality". The cases in which both types of questionnaires were used allowed a comparison between the two approaches, being "therapeutic modality" the main variable to be considered.
Most papers included a family report for evaluating the quality of life.
Conclusions: Pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease have a worse quality of life than people with other chronic diseases such as, for instant, diabetes. Children either transplanted or under a conservative treatment enjoyed a better quality of ife that those subjected to dialysis.
