Objective: To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) donors. Methods: The EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D) was used to measure the QOL of donors. Results: One donor reported “a little problem” of mobility (MO), and 2 donors (9.1%) reported “a little problem” of usual activities (UA). Moreover, there were 8 donors (36.4%) and 7 donors (31.8%) declaring “a little problem” of pain/discomfort (PD) and anxiety/depression (AD), respectively. And both dimensions have a donor reporting “moderate problem.” The mean visual analog scale (VAS) was 83.1 ± 12.4. Conclusions: Donors can gain a stable and preferable QOL after donation in both the short and long terms. ED-5D application in the field of liver transplant could be an effective choice in QOL studies. |
