MEJIA, Gilberto; GOMEZ, María Teresa y MORENO-MEDINA, Karen. Health- related quality of life evaluation pre and post liver transplant in patients of a high complexity hospital. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.1, pp.65-72. Epub 27-Dic-2020. ISSN 1900-2386. https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.3721.
Liver transplantation is the therapeutic intervention of choice in patients with terminal liver disease to improve survival rate and quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess health related quality of life (HRQOL) in liver cirrhosis patients before and after liver transplantation. Thirty-three patients in waiting list for transplant in the institution were included; some questionnaires were applied before and after transplantation: to assess HRQOL were used LDQOL-1 (specific for liver disease and transplant) and SF36 (for general population); to assess depressive and anxious symptoms, BDI and STAI were used, respectively. Results showed an improvement in HRQOL and reduction in depressive and anxious symptoms after transplantation.
