The results of the analysis of all included studies in this study showed that patients with CKD were found to have impaired quality of life. Children with CKD scored lower than controls on all subscales. ESRD was related to significant morbidity and a poorer QOL. Risk factors for impaired quality of life are age 5-7 years, age 13-18 years, low socioeconomic status, father with low education level, and use of steroids.
