OBJECTIVES: Assessment of health-related quality life (HRQOL) outcomes in studies liver disease and transplantation is necessary. Reliable valid disease-targeted HRQOL measures are thus needed. The objective this study was to develop a reliable self-report instrument for ambulatory adults with chronic disease. METHODS: Liver Disease Quality Life instrument, LDQOL 1.0 (an measure that uses the SF-36 as generic core 12 multi-item scales) administered multicenter, cross-sectional field test 221...
