“…A practical use of Q-o-L is arguable because gallstone disease most often appears in bouts and these tests were usually designed for chronic ailments restricting daily activities. It has also caused difficulties to define Q-o-L tests [3,20].…”

“…Its prevalence rate ranges from 10% to 15% in the United States and 3% to 10% for Asian countries [ 3 , 4 ]. Cholecystectomy is considered the curative intervention [ 5 – 7 ]. However, previous follow-up studies report that some residual gastrointestinal problems may continue to bother patients who had undergone cholecystectomy [ 5 ].…”

BackgroundPrior studies indicate a possible association between depression and cholecystectomy, but no study has compared the risk of post-operative depressive disorders (DD) after cholecystectomy. This retrospective follow-up study aimed to examine the relationship between cholecystectomy and the risk of DD in patients with gallstones in a population-based database.MethodsUsing ambulatory care data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000, 6755 patients who received a first-time principal diagnosis of gallstones at the emergency room (ER) were identified. Among them, 1197 underwent cholecystectomy. Each patient was then individually followed-up for two years to identify those who were later diagnosed with DD. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to estimate the risk of developing DD between patients with gallstone who did and those who did not undergo cholecystectomy.ResultsOf 6755 patients with gallstones, 173 (2.56%) were diagnosed with DD during the two-year follow-up. Among patients who did and those who did not undergo cholecystectomy, 3.51% and 2.36% later developed depressive disorder, respectively. After adjusting for the patient’s sex, age and geographic location, the hazard ratio (HR) of DD within two years of gallstone diagnosis was 1.43 (95% CI, 1.02–2.04) for patients who underwent cholecystectomy compared to those who did not. Females, but not males, had a higher the adjusted HR of DD (1.61; 95% CI, 1.08–2.41) for patients who underwent cholecystectomy compared to those who did not.ConclusionsThere is an association between cholecystectomy and subsequent risk of DD among females, but not in males.

“…Serum direct bilirubin level and drainage tube indwelling were significant predictors for quality of life improvement following LC (9). In our study, four weeks after the operation, the QOL scores of the LC group improved significantly in every aspect, as compared with the preoperative baseline (P < 0.01).…”

Background: Nowadays quality of life (QOL) is an important part of health and measuring health-related QOL after surgery is necessary for decision-making by patients and surgeons. To assess post cholecystectomy QOL, documentation of high quality care has been subjected to extended discussions, and the use of patient-reported outcome satisfaction for quality improvement has been advocated for several years.

Changes in Quality-of-Life Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Adult Patients with Cholelithiasis

Abstract: LC can greatly reduce gastrointestinal symptoms to improve quality-of-life for patients with cholelithiasis. Patients with severe baseline conditions may benefit from greater quality-of-life improvement following LC.
