We asked patients to assess their functional health status by completing the SF-36, Over 2 years, we studied 1,000 patients (average age, 58 years; 50% male; 25% white; 36% diabetic) in three outpatient, staff-assisted hemodialysis units, We used both the eight-scale scores and two-component summary scores to study the relationship between baseline functional health status and clinical outcomes, The physical component summary (PCS) score was as significant a predictor of mortality as was the normalized protein catabolic rate or the delivered Kt/V. Patients with a PCS score below the median for our patients (
