Conclusions: The health-related quality of life of patients with and without AKI was already lower on ICU admission than that of the age-and sex-matched general population, and did not change significantly during critical illness. Patients with and without AKI rate their subjective health to be as good as age and sex-matched general population despite statistically significantly lower QOL indexes measured by EQ-5D.
