In this prospective observational cohort of patients with a history of diverticulitis, we assessed the correlation between the diverticulitis quality of life survey (DVQOL) and other patient-reported expressions of disease measures including work and activity impairment, and contentment with gastrointestinal-related health. Then, we assessed whether the DVQOL is better correlated with these measures than diverticulitis episode count. Our study results showed that the DVQOL has a stronger correlation with other disease measures than diverticulitis episode count, and our findings support the broader use of the DVQOL in assessing the burden of diverticulitis and monitoring response to management.
在这项针对有憩室炎病史患者的前瞻性观察队列研究中,我们评估了憩室炎生活质量调查(DVQOL)与患者报告的其他疾病指标之间的相关性,这些指标包括工作和活动受限,以及对胃肠道相关健康状况的满意度。然后,我们评估了DVQOL与这些指标的相关性是否比憩室炎发作次数更好。我们的研究结果表明,DVQOL与其他疾病指标的相关性比憩室炎发作次数更强,我们的研究结果支持更广泛地使用DVQOL来评估憩室炎的负担以及监测治疗反应。
