| Popis: | Background: Fatigue was recently suggested to predict an increased risk of mortality in a primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) cohort during follow-up. Aims: To analyse the impact of fatigue on prognosis in PBC. Methods: Patients with PBC who had earlier completed the fatigue impact scale (FIS) were identified. Prognosis in terms of death and liver transplantation (Tx) was determined. Results: FIS values at baseline were analysed from 208 patients (192 females; median age 59 years (interquartile range 51–67), median follow-up of 5 years. Overall, 181 patients were alive at follow-up, 22 (12%) died and five (2.4%) underwent transplantation. FIS at baseline was 28 (12–47) and FIS at follow-up was 25 (8–64) (P |
