The transplantation of haemopoietic cells is a specific treatment method employed in the therapy of haematological malignant diseases and solid tumours, and also in the therapy of non-cancer diseases. The transplantation of haemopoietic cells, similarly as other treatment methods, affects the further course of the disease and thus also the quality of life of the patient. In the transversal study on 95 patients after the transplantation of haemopoietic cells at the Department of Clinical Haematology of the Second Medical Clinic of the Faculty Hospital in Hradec Králové, the quality of the life of the patients was studied. With the help of the method EuroQol (European Quality of Life Questionnaire, 1987) they evaluated the quality of life depending on several factors: the age, gender, education, polymorbidity, religiosity, abuse of smoking, type of transplantation of haemopoietic cells (allogenic/autologous), time elapsing from implementing the haemopoietic cell transplantation. The results demonstrate a statistically significant dependence of the quality of life on the age, polymorbidity and religiosity. The effect of the other factors (gender, education, abuse of smoking, type of transplantation of haemopoietic cells, time elapsing from implementing the haemopoietic cell transplantation) on the life quality was not demonstrated. The general quality of life of patients after the transplantation of haemopoietic cells at the Department of Clinical Haematology of the Second Medical Clinic, Faculty Hospital in Hradec Králové is at a very good level.
