Up to date, there is no knowledge on the health-related quality of life and the mental status of these patients. Methods Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) was assessed by using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey and Mental Status was assessed by using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The patients were examined in different assessments: During regular check-up examinations in the LT outpatient department in 2011 (Survey 1) and in a postal survey in 2013 (Survey 2). Their medical data was collected by using an established database. Results We received eligible surveys of 383 patients (55.6%) with a history of LT, of which 15 (3.9%) had undergone Re-LT (Re-LT group). These patients were compared to a group of 60 patients who had undergone only one LT. With regard to their HRQoL, the Re-LT group had significantly lower scores on the scales of physical function (PF, p = 0.026), their role-physical (RP, p = 0.008), their vitality (VIT, p = 0.040), and their role-emotional (RE, p = 0.005). The scores for anxiety and depression did not differ significantly between the groups. In a multiple regression analysis, chronic kidney disease was found to be an independent risk factor for decreased scores of PF (p = 0.023). Conclusions Patients who have to undergo Re-LT procedures are faceing impairments in physical aspects of a HRQoL. Together with clinical results from other studies, the findings of the present examination underline the need for an optimized organ distribution strategy since not all patients listed for Re-LT appear to benefit from it.","9 S.","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/21213||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-24509","eng","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","Health-related quality of life||Liver retransplantation||SF-36||Hads||Depression||Anxiety","600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften","Primary liver transplantation and liver retransplantation","comparison of health-related quality of life and mental status – a cross- sectional study","Wissenschaftlicher Artikel","open access","Health and Quality of Life Outcomes. - 15 (2017), Artikel Nr.147","10.1186/s12955-017-0723-8","http://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-017-0723-8","Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin","FUDOCS_derivate_000000008761","FUDOCS_document_000000027985","Der Artikel wurde in einer reinen Open-Access-Zeitschrift publiziert.","no"
