Short-term outcomes of morbidity, mortality, and quality of life after pneumonectomy worsen with increasing age.
Occurring most commonly within six months after implantation [2], these complications can adversely affect mortality and quality of life.
Our goal is to determine the rate of mortality and quality of life (QOL) after 2 years of patients with severe sepsis and compare to non-septic patients.
Introduction: Admission to the ICU deeply impacts on post-ICU mortality and quality of life, but the information on the issue is still scarce(1).
Data on mortality and quality of life should not only be presented separately but also be combined in form of QALYs.
Among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), we investigated the prevalence of depressive symptoms, their impact on mortality and quality of life, and correlates of depressive symptoms.
