To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) using health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI), visual analog scale (VAS) and scleroderma assessment questionnaire (SAQ).
The questionnaires of HAQ-DI, VAS and SAQ were administered to 50 controls and 90 SSc patients from September to December 2013. And SSc patients were also evaluated for subset (limited & diffuse SSc), age, disease duration, autoantibodies and skin & internal organ involvement.
The physical summary scores of HAQ-DI in dressing, cleaning and hand functions domains were higher in SSc patients than those in controls (all P < 0.05). As for VAS, the specific clinical manifestations (Pain,0.60 (0.20-1.40); Raynaud's phenomenon, 9.00(4.00-11.00); finger ulcers, 1.00(0.00-5.00); gastrointestinal symptoms, 5.00(1.00-6.50); respiratory symptoms, 3.00(0.00-6.00)) of SSc patients impacted their HRQOL. SAQ showed higher scores in blood vascular, respiratory, digestive and musculoskeletal systems for SSc patients (1.00(0.75-1.50), 0.50(0.33-0.67), 0.40(0.20-0.80), 0.13(0.00-0.38) vs 0.00(0.00-0.00), all P < 0.05).
HRQOL is impaired in patients with SSc, especially in physical domains. And higher scores in SSc patients with specific organ involvement suggest that severe disease has worse HRQOL.
使用健康评估问卷残疾指数(HAQ-DI)、视觉模拟量表(VAS)和硬皮病评估问卷(SAQ)评估系统性硬化症(SSc)患者的健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)。
2013年9月至12月,对50名对照者和90名SSc患者进行了HAQ-DI、VAS和SAQ问卷调查。还对SSc患者的亚型(局限性和弥漫性SSc)、年龄、病程、自身抗体以及皮肤和内脏器官受累情况进行了评估。
SSc患者在HAQ-DI的穿衣、清洁和手部功能领域的身体总结得分高于对照组(所有P<0.05)。对于VAS,SSc患者的特定临床表现(疼痛,0.60(0.20-1.40);雷诺现象,9.00(4.00-1,100);手指溃疡,1.00(0.00-5.00);胃肠道症状,5.00(1.00-6.50);呼吸道症状,3.00(0.00-6.00))影响了他们的HRQOL。SAQ显示SSc患者在血管、呼吸、消化和肌肉骨骼系统方面得分更高(1.00(0.75-1.50),0.50(0.33-0.67),0.40(0.20-0.80),0.l3(0.00-0.38)对0.00(0.00-0.00),所有P<0.05)。
SSc患者的HRQOL受损,尤其是在身体领域。特定器官受累的SSc患者得分较高表明病情严重时HRQOL更差。
