The relationship between stages of chronic hepatitis B liver disease and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important aspect of the overall management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, yet is not well characterized. Consequently we sought to examine HRQoL in HBV patients, stratified by

Currently, no disease-targeted instrument is available for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in liver transplant recipients. We developed and tested a post-liver transplant quality of life (pLTQ) instrument. Item selection for the pLTQ instrument was based on responses from liver tran
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is one preferable outcome measure of medical interventions such as liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to compare HRQoL of LT patients with that of the general population and to assess the employment status of LT patients. HRQoL was measured w
Our purpose is to report the development and psychometric properties of a generic computer-delivered measure of health-related quality of life (HRQL) suitable for children aged 6 to 11 years, the Exeter HRQL scale (EHRQL). The theoretical model adopted is based on a definition of HRQL which assumes
