- W19665056 abstract "Over the last two decades liver transplantation for children (pLT) with life-threatening acute or chronic liver diseases has yielded high long-term success rates. Long-term follow-up of pLT recipients has focused mainly on somatic complications (infections, chronic rejection, biliary problems, cancer occurrence, etc.). Other studies have examined precise aspects of everyday life, and particularly health-related quality of life. In contrast, no global surveys of everyday life, including educational and vocational issues, academic performance, personal feelings and concerns and at-risk behaviors have yet been carried out among adults who received liver grafts during childhood. We conducted a global survey of these young adults' everyday lives.The study was based on a structured questionnaire administered during phone interviews. One hundred sixteen pLT patients managed in a single pediatric liver unit since 1986 were interviewed between April 2005 and July 2006 by the same pediatrician (JPD), who was not involved in their personal medical management. Mean age at interview was 21 +/- 4 (17-33) years; mean age at pLT was 7.0 +/- 4.6 (0.5-16) years; and the mean and median follow-up periods after LT were respectively 13.9 +/- 3.9 years and 15 years. Three-quarters of the patients said they were satisfied with their quality of life and 81% were satisfied with their health status. A significant difference in the age at which LT was performed was found between patients reporting good or very good quality of life and patients reporting neither good nor bad quality of life (mean age at LT 6.2 +/- 4.1 vs 9.4 +/- 1.4 years; p = 0.0002). Two-thirds of the patients were still attending school. One-third were in age-appropriate school grades, and 31%, 23% and 13% were respectively 1, 2 and 3 years behind. Twenty-five per cent of patients were in paid employment and 12% were unemployed. Reported at-risk behaviors (tobacco and cannabis use) were not more frequent than among these patients' peers, and alcohol consumption was significantly lower (p<0.0001). Strict adherence to medications was reported by only 55% of patients. Concerns about their future health were expressed by 53% of patients. Many patients were reluctant to speak openly to their peers about their LT status. The vast majority of patients wished to discuss personal problems with a physician (quality of life, vocational problems, future health, sexuality, pregnancy), and also wanted more medical information from caregivers. A large majority of young adults transplanted during childhood have good quality of life. Educational level and academic performance are lower than among these patients' peers. This study highlights personal difficulties encountered by a noteworthy proportion of young adults transplanted during childhood. This needs to be taken into account both by pediatricians and by adult medical care providers." @default.
