Effect of Surgery on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
THE TREATMENT of patients with chronic diseases should be guided by outcomes studies.1,2 Three types of outcomes can be used to assess the effects of medical or surgical interventions on a population of patients. Traditionally, clinical end points or disease-specific criteria, such as tumor recurrence, survival, or length of hospital stay, are reported in surgical series. More recently, socioeconomic factors such as time off work or cost to society, are being analyzed as important outcomes. The third type of outcome measure used to guide patient treatment and policy decisions is patient-derived health status, or health-related quality of life (HRQL).1 Health-related quality of life is a multidimensional concept that includes the physical, emotional, psychological, and social functional status of patients.3 Since data are derived from the patients, the HRQL score measures what patients are capable of doing, their ability to carry out various roles, and their overall sense of well-being.1,3
