Examine the association of medication adherence with workplace productivity and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in asthma patients.
Adult patients with asthma in a state health insurance program identified from medical claims (July 2001-June 2003) were mailed a three-part survey to measure HRQL (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire), workplace productivity (Workplace Productivity Short Inventory), and self-reported medication adherence (Morisky Scale).
The symptoms domain had the worst HRQL scores, followed by the activity and impacts domains; 39% of the participants reported themselves as "high" adherent, whereas 19% were "medium," and 42% were "low" adherent. Asthma resulted in productivity losses of 597 +/- 1,024 US dollars (absenteeism) and 658 +/- 1,808 US dollars (presenteeism) per enrollee per year.
Asthma was associated with HRQL detriments and workplace productivity losses.
研究哮喘患者的药物依从性与工作场所生产力及健康相关生活质量(HRQL)之间的关联。
从医疗理赔记录(2001年7月至2003年6月)中识别出参加州健康保险计划的成年哮喘患者,向其邮寄一份由三部分组成的调查问卷,以测量HRQL(圣乔治呼吸问卷)、工作场所生产力(工作场所生产力简短量表)和自我报告的药物依从性(莫利斯基量表)。
症状领域的HRQL得分最差,其次是活动和影响领域;39%的参与者称自己为“高”依从性,19%为“中”依从性,42%为“低”依从性。哮喘导致每位参保人每年的生产力损失为597±1024美元(旷工)和658±1808美元(出勤但工作效率低)。
哮喘与HRQL损害和工作场所生产力损失相关。
