| Abstract | Background Social determinants of health (SDoH) are increasingly recognized as crucial factors affecting the well-being of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study explores the impact of SDoH on the quality of life (QoL) of children with CKD in Saudi Arabia. Methods This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study included 50 participants with CKD stages three to five, as well as children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from children and their caregivers using a validated Arabic-adapted version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 and an SDoH survey. Results The study revealed that access to education significantly affects pediatric QoL (H/Z score 2.825; P-value 0.005), and the lack of dietary recommendations was identified as a critical factor (H/Z score 1.441; P-value 0.029). ESRD patients on PD from larger families reported better QoL, whereas lower family income was associated with reduced QoL in PD patients (P-value 0.048). Compared to those in earlier stages of CKD, ESRD patients showed lower QoL (H/Z score 2.154; P-value 0.031). Conclusion Our study provides initial insights into the relationship between SDoH and the QoL of children with CKD in Saudi Arabia. It calls for a comprehensive approach that includes these determinants in care strategies to improve patient outcomes and QoL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
