Health related quality of life in people with advanced chronic liver disease

Abstract: Cirrhosis has a long natural history with considerable symptomatic impacts, particularly in advancing disease. Measuring health related quality of life (HRQOL) in liver disease provides detail about the nature and extent of its effects on individuals. Understanding the drivers of impaired HRQOL can help identify targets for improvement through new treatments or health systems service delivery. Evaluation of novel therapies which target symptomatic improvement, should be done with suitable outcome measures, inc… Show more

“…Overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) requiring hospital admission is a common complication of cirrhosis that is associated with high resource utilization and a significant in-hospital mortality [1,2]. HE patients have a significantly lower survival compared with patients without HE at all severities of liver disease [3,4].…”

“…They can be applied in specific populations with certain pathological conditions, and offer the advantage of a more detailed analysis of the impact and limitations caused by the disease in the lives of individuals, identifying particularities of the situation. The highlights among specific instruments for patients with liver disease are the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), the Liver Disease Symptom Index (LDSI) and the Liver Disease Quality of Life (LDQOL) (5) . During the literature search on studies assessing the quality of life in patients undergoing liver transplant, studies using specific instruments were scarce.…”
