We assessed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and its determinants among rural glaucoma participants compared to age-matched normal controls in the population-based Handan Eye Study (HES), in rural Yongnian County, northern China.
We enrolled 99 adults with glaucoma (mean age 63.0 ± 11.0 years), including primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG, n = 67) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG, n = 32) and 102 controls (mean age 58.5 ± 5.3 years) with normal visual acuity and visual field and no history of glaucoma. Results of ophthalmic examinations and socioeconomic data were recorded. HRQOL was measured using the EQ-5D (converted to utility valves, UVs), and visual function (VF) and vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) were evaluated using the visual function-quality of life (VF-QOL) instrument.
EQ-5D and VF-QOL scores.
The mean UVs, VF, and VRQOL scores for glaucoma cases were 0.98 ± 0.04, 87.9 ± 15.2, and 95.5 ± 12.8, respectively, significantly worse than VF (94.4 ± 4.4) and VRQOL (100.0 ± 0.0) among controls, even after adjusting for age, gender, educational level, and family income (P = 0.015, P = 0.033). UVs were significantly lower among glaucoma participants with impaired VRQOL (55.4 ± 11.5) compared to those with normal VRQOL scores (99.1 ± 2.8) (UVs: 0.92 ± 0.08 vs. 0.99 ± 0.03, P = 0.036), also after adjustment for age and family income (P = 0.006). Participants with PACG had significantly lower VF and VRQOL scores compared to POAG (77.8 ± 21.4 vs. 92.9 ± 6.8, P < 0.001; 89.0 ± 18.1 vs. 98.7 ± 7.5, P < 0.001).
Participants with glaucoma have worse visual function and related quality of life compared to age-matched normal population controls. Participants with PACG have lower VF and VRQOL compared to those with POAG. UVs can be used for cost-effectiveness research and to support public health strategies for glaucoma in rural China.
我们评估了农村青光眼患者的健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)及其决定因素,这些患者与中国北方永年县农村人群为基础的邯郸眼病研究(HES)中的年龄匹配的正常对照组进行了比较。
我们招募了 99 名青光眼患者(平均年龄 63.0±11.0 岁),包括原发性开角型青光眼(POAG,n=67)和原发性闭角型青光眼(PACG,n=32),以及 102 名对照组(平均年龄 58.5±5.3 岁),这些对照组的视力和视野正常,没有青光眼病史。记录了眼科检查和社会经济数据。使用 EQ-5D(转换为效用值,UVs)测量 HRQOL,使用视觉功能-生活质量(VF-QOL)工具评估视觉功能(VF)和与视觉相关的生活质量(VRQOL)。
EQ-5D 和 VF-QOL 评分。
青光眼患者的平均 UVs、VF 和 VRQOL 评分分别为 0.98±0.04、87.9±15.2 和 95.5±12.8,明显低于对照组的 VF(94.4±4.4)和 VRQOL(100.0±0.0),即使在校正了年龄、性别、教育水平和家庭收入后也是如此(P=0.015,P=0.033)。与 VRQOL 正常的患者相比,VRQOL 受损的青光眼患者的 UVs 明显更低(55.4±11.5)(UVs:0.92±0.08 比 0.99±0.03,P=0.036),即使在校正了年龄和家庭收入后也是如此(P=0.006)。PACG 患者的 VF 和 VRQOL 评分明显低于 POAG(77.8±21.4 比 92.9±6.8,P<0.001;89.0±18.1 比 98.7±7.5,P<0.001)。
与年龄匹配的正常人群对照组相比,青光眼患者的视觉功能和相关生活质量更差。与 POAG 患者相比,PACG 患者的 VF 和 VRQOL 更低。UVs 可用于成本效益研究,并支持中国农村地区青光眼的公共卫生策略。
