Although the quality of life attained after heart transplantation has been assessed, there is no equivalent information for recipients of liver grafts in this country. In this paper we report a cross-sectional survey of 81 adult patients in the Cambridge/King's College Hospital joint programme using the Nottingham Health Profile which is a validated measurement of the quality of life. The results show the quality of life to be high, and broadly similar to the levels expected in the general population. The data suggest an increase in the problems related to physical mobility (two-fold) and a reduction in problems of emotional reaction (a halving).
尽管心脏移植后所达到的生活质量已得到评估，但在本国对于肝移植受者却没有类似的信息。在本文中，我们报告了一项对剑桥/国王学院医院联合项目中的81名成年患者进行的横断面调查，采用的是诺丁汉健康量表，这是一种经过验证的生活质量测量方法。结果显示生活质量较高，且与普通人群预期的水平大致相似。数据表明与身体活动相关的问题有所增加（两倍），而情绪反应问题有所减少（减半）。
