O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o impacto de um programa de reabilitação física sobre a qualidade de vida de uma paciente candidata ao transplante de fígado. Trata-se de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 43 anos, diagnóstico médico de cirrose biliar primária, fibrose porta-porta, há seis anos, Child B e MELD 17, antecedente de hipertensão arterial sistólica, diabetes mellitus e dislipidemia. Foi avaliada antes e após aplicação do protocolo de reabilitação em cinco sessões consecutivas, por meio do questionário Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). Observou-se uma resposta positiva na melhoria da qualidade de vida da paciente quando submetida ao programa de reabilitação física, porém, de forma discreta, devido à percepção de limitações funcionais pertinentes à doença, demonstrando alteração emocional. Este estudo permitiu uma abordagem criteriosa da candidata quanto às suas limitações pessoais e características da doença para servirem como parâmetro a um programa de tratamento fisioterapêutico, baseado na reabilitação e melhora da qualidade de vida. Novos estudos poderão ser desenvolvidos sobre o tema abordado, o que contribuirá de forma direta na ampliação do conhecimento, enriquecimento e atualização da literatura científica.

Background: Patients with chronic liver disease often suffer from poor quality of life. The Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) is a validated tool to assess health-related quality of life in these patients. It has been translated and validated for use in many countries and languages globally. Objectives: We aimed to translate Mainland Chinese Mandarin to Singapore Mandarin and perform cross-cultural adaption of CLDQ for the Mandarin-speaking population in Singapore (CLDQ-SG). Methods: This study was conducted based on the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research Principles of Good Practice. The study consisted of two parts: part one involved cognitive debriefing and cultural adaption of CLDQ, and part two was a pilot study on the first version of CLDQ-SG among adult patients with chronic liver disease in a tertiary hospital. Results: During the cognitive debriefing process of part one, questions beginning with “recent” (最近) two weeks in Mandarin were changed to “last” (在过去) two weeks. Eighteen patients were recruited for part two of the study (50% male, mean age 49±13 years). Time taken to complete CLDQ-SG was 15±8 minutes, and the mean score was 5.1±0.5. The reliability of measurements for all domains was good, with an intra-class correlation coefficient ≥0.8. Items one and four needed further restructuring. There were no discrepancies between CLDQ and CLDQ-SG. Conclusion: This study showed that CLDQ-SG was culturally acceptable by the Mandarin-speaking population in Singapore. There were only two items that needed revision in the finalized CLDQ-SG.

Objective. To compare and analyze the relevance and applied value of chronic liver disease questionnaire (CLDQ) and Traditional Chinese Medicine liver disease questionnaire (TCMLDQ) in patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis.Methods. The data of 146 patients' scales of CLDQ and TCMLDQ which based on the characteristics of chinese medical symptoms were collected. We made comparative analysis of the relationship between these two scales by the linear regression model and canonical correlation method and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of two scales about its items setting and dimension definition.Result. There is a negative correlation in total scores between the two scales and the linear regression equation:CLDQ=239.38−1.232TCMLDQ. The further canonical correlation analysis was used to analyze the two extracted canonical correlative variables with significances (P<0.05), and the results showed that the overall negative correlation between the two scales mainly came from contributions of both the four dimensions of TCMLDQ (CS, GSYX, GYPX, and OS) and the five dimensions of CLDQ (AS, FA, SS, AC, and EF).Conclusion. These two scales have good consistency in the evaluation of severity and life quality of liver cirrhosis patients, so we suggested that TCMLDQ can be used to evaluate the severity and life quality of patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis.
