Does [ Telephone follow-up improve quality of life of postoperative patients with severe acute pancreatitis ]? Context: To evaluate the impact of telephone follow-up on the quality of life of postoperative patients with severe acute pancreatitis. 109 postoperative patients with severe acute pancreatitis were divided into interventional and control groups randomly. Telephone follow-up was given to the patients in the interventional group 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. The patients in the control group received routine discharge guidance only. The quality of life of the patients was assessed with the Generic Quality of Life Inventory 6 months after discharge. The disease-related knowledge and incidence of complications of the patients were also assessed. The patients who received telephone follow-up had greater quality of life scores in physical function, psychological function and social function than the controls (P < 0.05). The interventional group also had better disease-related knowledge (P < 0.05) and lower incidence of complications such as jejunostoma tube plugging and recurrence than the control group (P < 0.05).
