Abstract

Background: Psychosocial issues and quality of life are important components at the patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis is a chronic liver disease that can affect quality of life of patients. In this study, we compared the quality of life between patients with hepatitis B and C and finally presented a structural model about it. Methods: In a prospective analytic study, 86 patients with hepatitis B and 86 with hepatitis C who referred to the Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital in Tehran from April 2015 to April 2018 were compared regarding the quality of life and health-related quality of life. The clinical and radiographic data of patients were extracted from their medical records. The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) was used for the evaluation quality of life and health-related quality of life. The questionnaire consisted of 36 questions in eight sub-scales (physical performance, physical role, physical pain, general health, vitality, social role, emotional role, and mental health). Results: Generally, the quality of life score was significantly lower in patients with hepatitis C (34. 13± 9. 37) than patients with hepatitis B (51. 5± 10. 5) (P=0. 001). Except for the physical role and vitality, all other SF-36 subscales were significantly lower in the HCV patients group (P>0. 05). Based on the results of logistic regression, the emotional dimension of patients was reported as most important effect on the quality of life in patients [(OR=9. 15, 95% CI=(4. 11-15. 41), P=0. 001)]. Based on the results of linear analysis, hepatitis type [(B=4. 21, P=0. 001)], patient income [(B=2. 57, P=0. 001)], the level of education [(B=2. 9, P=0. 014)] and the gender of patients [(B=2. 77, P=0. 023)] were reported as most important factors affecting the quality of life of patients, respectively. There was no significant difference between age, body mass index and smoking reported in patients' quality of life (P>0. 05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the quality of life in patients with hepatitis C was significantly lower than the quality of life in patients with hepatitis B.
