Although WHO defined health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being'' in 1948, it is only in recent years that health-related "quality-of-life'' (HRQOL) has gained acceptance in medicine. Changes in clinical outcome measures do not necessarily correspond to the increased benefits in HRQOL perceived by patients, and their HRQOL-related preferences may differ from those of health professionals. HRQOL measures can guide treatment decisions and increase the possibility of involving patients in decisions concerning treatment, care and rehabilitation.
