This study aimed to assess HRQoL and its determinants among HD patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cross-sectional study, 203 adult HD patients in Bandar Abbas, Iran, were evaluated. HRQoL was measured via the EQ-5D-5 L index, EQ-VAS, and SF-12 physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary scores. Multivariable linear regression models, identified factors significantly associated with HRQoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean (SD) EQ-5D-5 L index, EQ-VAS, PCS, and MCS scores were 0.50 (0.47), 64.9 (23.7), 42.3 (8.1), and 42.3 (9.0), respectively. Individuals with higher levels of education demonstrated significantly better EQ-5D-5L index scores (\u03b2: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.41 for &lt;6 classes; \u03b2: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.40 for 6\u201312 classes; \u03b2: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.52 for &gt;12 years). Being divorced\/widowed (\u03b2: \u221220.5, 95% CI: \u221235.7 to \u22125.3) or retired\/disabled (\u03b2: \u221222.5, 95% CI: \u221241.6 to \u22123.3) showed a statistically significant association with reduced EQ-VAS scores. Having supplemental insurance was significantly linked to higher PCS scores (\u03b2: 2.4, 95% CI: 0.1 to 4.6), whereas current tobacco use was linked to lower MCS scores (\u03b2: \u22123.7, 95% CI: \u22127.4 to \u22120.02). A duration of dialysis \u22655 years was significantly associated with lower EQ-5D-5 L index scores (\u03b2: \u22120.17, 95% CI: \u22120.31 to \u22120.04). Comorbidities, age, and sex were not significantly associated with any of the HRQoL measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HRQoL among HD patients in southern Iran was markedly reduced and influenced by socioeconomic, lifestyle, and treatment-related factors. Enhancing patient education, expanding insurance coverage, addressing gaps in social support, and incorporating lifestyle interventions\u2014such as smoking cessation\u2014may be associated with modest improvements in HRQoL outcomes in this population.<\/jats:p>\n
