Hepatic encephalopathy before and neurological complications after liver transplantation have no impact on the employment status 1 year after transplantation

Table 6 Short form 36 domain scores and six-dimension health state short form score of patients employed before and after orthotopic liver transplantation compared to patients employed before but not-employed after orthotopic liver transplantation

P value ≤ 0.05 is considered significant. SF-36: Short form 36; SF-6D: Six-dimension health state short form; OLT: Orthotopic liver transplantation; PF: Physical functioning; PRF: Physical role functioning; BP: Bodily pain; GHP: General health perception; VIT: Vitality; SRF: Social role functioning; ERF: Emotional role functioning; MH: Mental health; QALYs: Quality adjusted life years.
