A life that’s worth living – measuring health-related quality of life among people treated for tuberculosis in Viet Nam: a longitudinal EQ-5D-5L survey
TB significantly impairs HRQoL among affected Vietnamese people. While treatment partially remedies these impairments, they may persist post-TB. Hence, physical, psychological and social rehabilitation during and after therapy should receive more attention. We found evidence that ACF may mitigate TB-related declines in HRQoL, but tailored studies are needed to substantiate these findings.
