Using Patient-Reported Outcomes to Measure Quality of Life in Home Parenteral Nutrition
February 2025
Quality of life (QOL) is a subjective concept often described as the perception of satisfaction or happiness with life in areas of importance to the individual. Historically, the parenteral nutrition (PN) literature has portrayed poor QOL among home PN dependent patients, yet subjective reports are often better and some of the discrepancies may be related to use of generic health related QOL instruments rather than disease or therapy-specific questionnaires. This webinar will define QOL among home PN dependent adults, identify factors that influence QOL, and introduce patient reported outcomes designed to improve communication about QOL between patients, families, and clinicians.
