Background

Lorenz from Colmar (1490-1531): “Doctor investigates the content

of a urine flask”. Until the development of dialysis (1945), ESRD always resulted in the death. The ESRD-SCL-TM was developed to assess the specific physical and psychological quality of life (QoL) of renal transplant recipients, with a special focus on side effects of immune system suppression therapy.

Methods

Results The

questionnaire provides information about disease-specific QoL in patients after kidney transplantation. Reliability was good (scales 1, 2, global score) to moderate (scales 3, 5, 6 > 0.70; scale 4 > 0.60). Comparative data of the scale statistics with regards to mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, reliability, confidence interval und Reliable Change Index are presented in table 2. 1) Limited physical capacity: 10 Items 2) Limited cognitive capacity: 8 Items 3) Cardiac and renal dysfunction: 7 Items 4) Side effects of corticosteroids: 5 Items 5) Increased growth of gum and hair: 5 Items 6) Transplantation-associated psychological distress: 8 Items A Global Score, summarizing the 43 Items

1.687 patients after kidney transplantation (42% female), mean age 48 years (+/- 13, 18-76) of the University Hospital Essen (Germany; single center, table 1) served as the normative group. Reliability and validity were investigated; Stanine-scores were presented.
