^aχ², Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-square; df, degrees of freedom; GFI, goodness-of-fit index; AGFI, adjusted GFI; RMR, root mean square residual; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation; NNFI, non-normed fit index; CFI, comparative fit index.

^bAdditional path from depression to quality of life was added in the model.

^cKidney-disease-related loss precedes depression, given all other parameters being constant.
