Sleep disturbance in older adults may be associated with poorer quality of life, dependence on hypnotic medication, increased risk of falls, increased morbidity, impaired cognitive performance, and daytime somnolence.
Separate regressions will be conducted for each of the three outcomes (nutritional status, quality of life, dependence).
Not only the degree of liver dysfunction should be considered as a prognostic factor, but factors such as the comorbidity (Charlson Score), risk of malnutrition, quality of life, dependence and anxiety can also modify the outcome of the disease.
Changes in nutritional status, quality of life and dependence over time will be analysed with linear mixed-effects regression models.
It is an increasingly important public health problem that can lead to reduced quality of life, isolation, dependence, and frustration.
The risk of malnutrition can be considered as a possible prognostic factor in transplant outcomes, associated with anxiety, health-related quality of life and dependence.
Nutritional status, analytical parameters, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), dependence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living and nursing diagnoses (NANDA) will be determined at the baseline moment and during follow up at one, three and six months post-transplant.
A person who has survived hip fracture usually exhibits decreased mobility, impaired quality of life, more dependence on family, and increased demand for medical caregivers and social services, as well as a substantial physical, mental, and financial burden.
This sample size will allow us to estimate characteristics about nutritional status, quality of life and dependence with a precision of ±10% for a security: 95% (α = 0.05), assuming a prevalence of 50% of the variable of interest, assuming 10% losses during the follow-up.
This study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the nutritional status, complications of medical and surgical care, anxiety, health-related quality of life and dependence level on basic and instrumental activities of daily living in pre- and post-liver transplant patients.
The quality-of-life burden of transfusion dependence versus independence was factored into an analysis of cost effectiveness of lenalidomide treatment modeled on data from the MDS-003 study [ 39].
