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.
