Sleep quality and its determinants during the liver transplant pathway

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, longitudinal study follows adults on the liver transplant waiting list at Croix Rousse Hospital to describe how sleep quality evolves from pre-transplant evaluation to six months after transplant. It also describes anxiety levels, the proportion with impaired sleep, and sleep characteristics at three time points around transplantation. The study is exploratory and aims to generate hypotheses about sleep-related factors that may influence the transplant pathway. It is conducted at a single center with an 18-month enrollment and about a one-year participation per patient. Interventions are not specified; eligibility is determined by standard clinical criteria and informed consent.
