Brief summary

A systematic evaluation of predictors of health related quality of life (HRQoL) leads to multiple level of data analysis. The aim of the herein described observational project is to create a transplant patients registry on psychosocial outcomes and to evaluate longitudinally predictors of HRQoL after different types of solid organ transplantation in the long-term. A sample size of 700 participants consisting of all solid organ types is envisioned. Data will be compared with published healthy normative data. Data Evaluation of predictors of HRQoL may guide development of tailored interventions to reduce complications and to further improve outcomes.
