Box plots of subscales of SF-36* (upper panel) and KDQOL ^† (lower panel) in RG - ^‡ and RG + ^§ patients. RG - (blue bars) and RG + (green bars). Significant differences between women and men with graft loss appeared in effect of kidney disease, p = 0.017 and physical function, p = 0.006. Differences between women with and without graft loss appeared in effect of kidney disease, p = 0.002 and cognitive function, p = 0.006. Non-significant results are not listed. *The Short Form Health Survey, ^† KDQOL = Kidney Disease and Quality of Life, ^‡RG - = Dialysis, not previously transplanted, n = 251, ^§RG + = Patients in dialysis with renal graft loss n = 50. Scores 0 -100, higher number indicating better QOL.
