Abstract

A prospective study compared psychiatric, neurocognitive, and quality-of-life changes of heart and liver transplant patients. The 51 heart and 61 liver transplant candidates and recipients completed the Beck depression inventory (BDI), state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), sickness impact profile (SIP), mini-mental state (MMS), California verbal learning test (CVLT), Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), trailmaking test (TMT), and the impact message inventory (IMI). Data were gathered before transplant and at 3-month intervals for up to 1 year after transplant. Psychometric tests scores were correlated with electroencephalograms for the liver patients. Both groups showed significant improvements after transplant in neurocognitive functioning, depressive symptoms, and quality of life.
