To estimate the prevalence of fibromyalgia among women with endometriosis and analyze the effect of fibromyalgia on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
An observational case-control study conducted at a tertiary hospital in Barcelona between April 2015 and March 2017 among women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE; n=80), women with superficial endometriosis or ovarian endometrioma (non-DIE; n=76), and control women without endometriosis (n=73). Fibromyalgia was assessed via the London Fibromyalgia Epidemiological Study Screening Questionnaire (LFESSQ). HRQoL was evaluated with the 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire. The impact of fibromyalgia and other clinical characteristics was assessed by multivariate regression analysis.
More women fulfilled the criteria for fibromyalgia in the DIE group than in the non-DIE and control groups by LFESSQ-4 (31 [39%], 12 [16%], and 6 [8%], respectively; P=0.009) and LFESSQ-6 (22 [28%], 8 [11%], and 4 [5%], respectively; P=0.008). The DIE group reported significantly poorer HRQoL for all SF-36 dimensions. Women with DIE who fulfilled the criteria for fibromyalgia had lower physical component scores (-31.6; 95% confidence interval, -50.8 to -12.3; P=0.003).
The estimated prevalence of fibromyalgia was higher among women with DIE. Women with DIE and positive fibromyalgia screening had lower HRQoL.
评估纤维肌痛在子宫内膜异位症女性中的患病率,并分析纤维肌痛对健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的影响。
2015 年 4 月至 2017 年 3 月在巴塞罗那的一家三级医院进行了一项观察性病例对照研究,纳入了患有深部浸润性子宫内膜异位症(DIE;n=80)、浅表性子宫内膜异位症或卵巢子宫内膜瘤(非 DIE;n=76)和无子宫内膜异位症的对照组女性(n=73)。通过伦敦纤维肌痛流行病学研究筛查问卷(LFESSQ)评估纤维肌痛。使用 36 项简短表格(SF-36)问卷评估 HRQoL。通过多变量回归分析评估纤维肌痛和其他临床特征的影响。
通过 LFESSQ-4(分别为 31 [39%]、12 [16%]和 6 [8%];P=0.009)和 LFESSQ-6(分别为 22 [28%]、8 [11%]和 4 [5%];P=0.008),DIE 组中符合纤维肌痛标准的女性多于非 DIE 组和对照组。DIE 组在所有 SF-36 维度上的 HRQoL 均显著较差。符合纤维肌痛标准的 DIE 女性的生理成分评分较低(-31.6;95%置信区间,-50.8 至 -12.3;P=0.003)。
DIE 女性中纤维肌痛的估计患病率更高。患有 DIE 并经纤维肌痛筛查阳性的女性 HRQoL 较低。
