To improve care for patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), we assessed the physical and mental quality of life (QoL) in 62 adult patients with SMA.
Physical component scores (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS) of the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) were obtained. Correlations with demographics, disease severity, and emotional distress were assessed. We used hierarchical multiple regression analysis to identify determinants of QoL.
PCS scores were lower, and MCS scores higher than in the healthy reference population. Patients with milder SMA types reported lower scores on several MCS domains. Motor skills scores and emotional distress explained 16% of the variance in PCS. SMA type and emotional distress explained 10% and 45% of the variance of MCS, respectively.
Patients with milder forms of SMA tend to have a reduced mental QoL. Psychological interventions to reduce emotional distress may improve both mental and physical QoL. Muscle Nerve 54: 850-855, 2016.
为改善脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA)患者的护理,我们评估了62例成年SMA患者的生理和心理生活质量(QoL)。
获取简短健康调查问卷(SF-36)的生理成分得分(PCS)和心理成分得分(MCS)。评估其与人口统计学、疾病严重程度及情绪困扰的相关性。我们采用分层多元回归分析来确定生活质量的决定因素。
PCS得分低于健康对照人群,而MCS得分高于健康对照人群。症状较轻的SMA类型患者在多个MCS领域得分较低。运动技能得分和情绪困扰解释了PCS变异的16%。SMA类型和情绪困扰分别解释了MCS变异的10%和45%。
症状较轻的SMA患者往往心理生活质量较低。减轻情绪困扰的心理干预可能会改善心理和生理生活质量。《肌肉与神经》54: 850 - 855, 2016年。
