This paper reports on the use of the Nottingham Health Profile as a measure of patient quality of life before and after combined heart and lung transplantation at Harefield Hospital. A total of 125 profiles from 48 patients were analysed. In both section 1 and section 2 of the profile, large and statistically significant (p less than 0.05) improvements in quality of life were associated with transplantation. The profile proved easy to use either as part of an interview during assessment for transplantation or as a postal follow-up postoperatively.
本文报告了在哈雷菲尔德医院,使用诺丁汉健康量表来衡量心肺联合移植前后患者的生活质量。共分析了48名患者的125份量表。在量表的第1部分和第2部分中,生活质量的大幅提高且具有统计学意义(p<0.05)与移植相关。该量表被证明无论是作为移植评估期间面谈的一部分,还是术后邮寄随访的一部分,都易于使用。
