Abstract
A longitudinal study was carried out to investigate the contribution of
clinical factors in influencing satisfaction with Quality of Life (QoL)
after renal transplantation. Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) were
assessed at three times over a period of 15 months in Lahore (Pakistan).
The study analyzed the contribution of clinical factors in influencing QoL
to identify individual differences in satisfaction with QoL despite similar
health status. Our findings revealed that most recipients reported
satisfaction after their transplant consistently over a period of 15 months.
However, QoL satisfaction was neither associated with nor influenced by
clinical factors and general health indicators, suggesting that QoL
satisfaction appears to be a subjective construct that is not predicted by
physical health status.
