Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) provides a global view of the state of health of a patient receiving home enteral nutrition (HEN).
To evaluate the HRQoL of patients receiving HEN using the NutriQoL® questionnaire, a specific instrument regardless of the underlying disease and route of administration.
Observational, prospective and multicentre study conducted in the context of the validation and assessment of the NutriQoL® questionnaire's psychometric properties.
One-hundred-and-forty individuals [disease: cancer (58.6%), malabsorption and other (27.1%), neurological (13.6%); HEN: supplement (61.4%), sole source of nutrition (35.7%); administration route: oral (54.3%), ostomy (31.4%), nasoenteric tube (12.1%)] participated. NutriQoL® was reliable [ICC: 0.88 (95%CI: 0.80-0.93); Cronbach's α: 0.77 (1st visit) and 0.83 (2nd visit)], valid (significant Rho), lowly sensitive to changes (effect size 0.23), can be completed by either patients or caregivers (ICC: 0.82). The mean HRQoL (SD) with NutriQoL® was 14.98 (14.86), EQ-5D tariff: 53(0.25), EQ-5D VAS: 54.15 (20.64) and COOP/WONCA charts: 23.32(5.66). HRQoL with NutriQoL® was better (p < 0.05) for oral HEN [19.54 (13,23)], than nasoenteric tube [14(11.71)], ostomy [7.02 (15.48)]; administered orally [19.54 (13.23)], than by gravity [10.97 (14.46)], pump [8.5 (19.78)] or syringe bolus [7 (11.40)]; as a supplement [19.33 (13.73)] instead of sole source of nutrition [8.18 (14.23)].
NutriQoL® is valid, reliable, even if lowly sensitive to change, and useful to measure HRQoL in this population. More studies are needed to know HRQoL in routine practice.
健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)提供了接受家庭肠内营养(HEN)患者健康状况的整体视图。
使用NutriQoL®问卷评估接受HEN患者的HRQoL,这是一种独立于潜在疾病和给药途径的特定工具。
在对NutriQoL®问卷的心理测量特性进行验证和评估的背景下开展的观察性、前瞻性多中心研究。
140人参与研究[疾病:癌症(58.6%)、吸收不良及其他(27.1%)、神经系统疾病(13.6%);HEN:补充营养(61.4%)、唯一营养来源(35.7%);给药途径:口服(54.3%)、造口术(31.4%)、鼻肠管(12.1%)]。NutriQoL®可靠[组内相关系数(ICC):0.88(95%置信区间:0.80 - 0.93);克朗巴哈系数(Cronbach's α):首次访视为0.77,第二次访视为0.83]、有效(显著的Rho值)、对变化敏感性低(效应量0.23),患者或照料者均可完成(ICC:0.82)。使用NutriQoL®测得的HRQoL均值(标准差)为14.98(14.86),EQ - 5D指数:53(0.25),EQ - 5D视觉模拟量表(VAS):54.15(20.64),COOP/WONCA图表评分:23.32(5.66)。口服HEN患者使用NutriQoL®测得的HRQoL[19.54(13.23)]优于鼻肠管给药患者[14(11.71)]、造口术给药患者[7.02(15.48)];口服给药患者[19.54(13.23)]优于重力滴注给药患者[10.97(14.46)]、泵注给药患者[8.5(19.78)]或注射器推注给药患者[7(11.40)];作为补充营养时[19.33(13.73)]优于作为唯一营养来源时[8.18(14.23)]。
NutriQoL®有效、可靠,即使对变化敏感性低,且可用于测量该人群的HRQoL。需要更多研究以了解常规实践中的HRQoL。
