“…Comparison of CLDQ scores of HBV patients in each domain among Hong Kong, USA and this study in Yunnan (Younossi et al, 1999;Lam et al, 2009 ), the mean scores in six domains and global scores in this study were generally lower than those in the study in Hong Kong and the mean scores of AS, AC, WO and global was significant different by Student t test. The mean scores in the present study were higher than those in the US study.…”

“…O domínio físico avalia facetas como dor e desconforto, energia e fadiga, sono e repouso, mobilidade, atividade de vida cotidiana, dependência de medicação ou de tratamentos e capacidade de trabalho: assim sendo, esta associação seria esperável e já foi encontrada em estudos que avaliaram a qualidade de vida em hepatopatas 14,30 . No campo das relações sociais, os resultados encontrados também não diferiram de estudos anteriores, que encontraram escores mais elevados entre os mais jovens 8,31 . Os achados relativos à ocupação -pacientes que não trabalhavam tiveram níveis mais baixos de qualidade de vida nos domínios físico e social que aqueles que estudavam e/ou estavam empregados -podem refletir um aspecto específico do domínio físico que é a avaliação da capacidade para o trabalho e são consistentes com o resultado do estudo de Ohaeri et al 32 .…”

“…Estudos de avaliação da qualidade de vida de pacientes hepatopatas utilizando o instrumento SF-36 têm evidenciado que sua qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde se mostra diminuída em relação a controles saudáveis [6][7][8] . Comparações entre grupos com base na gravidade da doença hepática indicaram piores níveis de qualidade de vida em pacientes com cirrose 7,9 , e pesquisas de seguimento que avaliaram pacientes submetidos a transplante hepático evidenciaram posterior incremento na qualidade de vida 10,11 .…”

“…Although in earlier cases of chronic cholestatic liver disease significant pruritus and fatigue may have a significant impairment of HRQOL (Poupon, 2004). These symptoms that may also be observed in chronic hepatitis C may not be present in those with other forms of chronic liver disease such as chronic hepatitis B or iron overload (Lam, 2009). …”

“…Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection show a reduction in the SF-36 scores that assessed mental functions, but they have no reduction in the scores that measured physical symptoms, indicating that the symptoms associated with chronic HCV infection are qualitatively different to those associated with chronic HBV infection (Curry, 2004;Spiegel, 2005;Lam, 2009). …”
