Assessment of fatigue and its impact in chronic liver disease
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) such as health related quality of life (HRQL) are important outcome measures for patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs). Presence of cirrhosis and advanced liver disease have been associated with worsened HRQL and fatigue. On the other hand, some patients with earlier stages of CLD such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), also experience fatigue causing PRO impairment.
