OBJECTIVES: Chronic liver disease is responsible for approximately 40,000 deaths annually, which corresponds to about 2% of all deaths worldwide. This study aimed to specify and understand the characteristics of patients with LC service followed in the Gastroenterology at CHCB as well as assess the severity of LC using the scale of Child-Pugh-Turcotte and the Health Related Quality Of Life. METHODS: This is a retrospective, observational and cross for the evaluation of QdVS a group of patients diagnosed with LC in CHCB. Direct interviews were carried out using questionnaires to a sample of 42 patients with clinical and imaging during the months of January and April 2011. Besides the descriptive analysis we tried to establish some correlations between the variables studied, considered statistically significant when p value is <0.05. RESULTS: The mean age of study participants was 62 years, and approximately 31% of patients were between 66 and 75 years. The males and ethylic etiology of cirrhosis accounted for a proportion of over 90% of all patients. The average score obtained after applying the SF-36 was around 49%. After the calculation made to stratify the severity of the disease across the range of CPT, 69% of patients were in class A, class B 21% and 10% to class C. CONCLUSIONS: The LC mainly affects males, and regular alcohol consumption the predominant etiology. Regarding the scale of CPT, the results indicate a good survival. We conclude that the QdVS is clearly affected in CLD associated with LC, particularly in terms of physical pain, physical performance and vitality. This study is consistent with national data, where the Liver Cirrhosis is a public health problem, for which measures must be taken concerning the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages
