Results:

Item analysis showed that QOL-HBV had satisfactory item discrimination. Eight common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and they can be reduced to three domains. The ?2/DF was 1.310, GFI was 0.972 and AGFI was 0.967 by the confirmatory factor analysis. The coefficients of Cronbach's ? of the instrument and all domains were above 0.80. In comparison with SF-36, there was good correlation among corresponding domains.

Conclusion:
