Abstract
Introduction
Liver cirrhosis (LC) has a significant impact in quality of life, and it is frequently linked to loss of a job, mood fluctuations, anxiety, low self-esteem, and despair. Recent LC treatment primarily focuses on clinical manifestations rather than the patient’s quality of life. By analyzing quality of life, one can learn about the disease’s emotional, physical, and lifestyle effects.
Objectives
To find the relationship between quality of life with the severity of liver cirrhosis.
Methods
The research was conducted as an observational study with cross-sectional data being collected. The study’s participants were recruited from Saiful Anwar Hospital’s outpatient and inpatient clinics. The individuals completed a chronic liver disease questionnaire to assess their quality of life, and the Child-Pugh score was used to determine the severity of their liver disease. The data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and the rank Spearman test, with a significance level of 0.05.
Result
There were 54 individuals, with an average age of 53.71 years and a male-to-female ratio of 74%. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the Child-Pugh A, Child-Pugh B, and Child-Pugh C groups in all aspects of the chronic liver disease questionnaire (p = 0.000). The rank Spearman test revealed a substantial link between quality of life and liver cirrhosis severity (r: −0.817).
Conclusion
The severity of LC is associated with the quality of life of the patients.
