Whether lung transplantation improves Health-related Quality of Life in patients with emphysema and other end-stage lung diseases before and after lung transplantation was examined. Berween 1992 and 1999, 23 patients with emphysema and 19 patients with other indications completed self-administered questionnaires before lung transplantation, and at 4, 7, 13, and 25 mo. after transplantation. The questionnaire included the Nottingham Health Profile, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Self-rating Depression Scale, the Index of Well-being, the self-report Karnofsky Index, and four respiratory-specific questions. Neither before nor after transplantation were significant differences found on most dimensions of Health-related Quality of Life between patients with emphysema and other indications. Before transplantation, both groups report major restrictions on the dimensions Energy and Mobility of the Nottingham Health Profile, low experienced well-being, depressive symptoms, and high dyspnea. About 4 mo. after transplantation, most Health-related Quality of Life measures improved significantly in both groups. These improvements were maintained in the following 21 mo.

The reliability of a generic health-related quality of life measure was assessed for subjects with major amputation of one or several limbs. The Nottingham Health Profile was sent a first time to 1011 limb amputees, and a second time to the 542 respondents to the first inquiry. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the answers to each survey was highest for the categories of distress caused by pain (ICC = 0.83), emotional reactions (ICC = 0.83) and mobility (ICC = 0.81). It was found satisfactory for energy level (ICC = 0.75), sleep (ICC = 0.75) and social isolation (ICC = 0.64). It is concluded that the NHP is a reliable health related quality of life measure for amputees.
