Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Research on liver transplantation has not just focused on survival rate and survival time, and the quality of life has become a new field of study. However, it is still a blank about the quality of life of liver transplant recipients in Xinjiang.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the quality of life of liver transplant recipients in Xinjiang and to explore the main risk factors for the quality of life in patients.
METHODS: A Chinese version of the SF-36 health survey was used to retrospectively evaluate the quality of life of liver transplant recipients in Xinjiang.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The scores of all eight dimensions in the patients with liver transplantation ranged from 60.6±18.7 to 93.9±22.1. Primary diseases, operation method, marital status, level of education, occupation, gender and age could influence the quality of life of the liver transplant recipients, but nation, income and the way of medical insurance had no significant effect on the quality of life. These findings indicate that there is no obvious difference in the quality of life between liver transplant recipients and normal population, and the scores in six dimensions are higher in the liver transplant recipients than normal population, which is further confirmed that liver transplantation is an effective way for treatment of advanced liver disease.
