The aim of this study was to explore the link between fear of falling and factors that may contribute to falls in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Our study included a total of 67 patients with pSS, aged between 18 and 65. The following tests were performed on each of them by the same researcher: (I) Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS); (II) Berg Balance Scale (BBS); (III) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); (IV) Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); (V) Tampa Kinesiophobia Fatigue Scale Questionnaire (TSK-F); (VI) International Falls Efficiency Scale (FES-I); (VII) Timed Up And Go Test (TUG). Disease activities were recorded using the EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) criteria. The following factors were associated with a fear of falling: (I) Deterioration in sleep quality (p = 0.031), (II) A decline in general health perception (p < 0.001), (III) Increased severity of pain (p < 0.001), (IV) Kinesiophobia (p < 0.001), (V) Difficulties with timely getting up and walking (p < 0.001), (VI) Increased disease activity (p < 0.001). There is no information available regarding the prevalence or contributing factors of fear of falling in individuals with pSS. This is the first study to examine fear of falling and contributing factors cross-sectionally in a sample of adults with pSS. These findings could aid in the development of a screening instrument to find modifiable risk factors for individuals with pSS who are susceptible to falling anxiety.
本研究旨在探讨原发性干燥综合征(pSS)患者的跌倒恐惧与可能导致跌倒的因素之间的联系。我们的研究共纳入了67例年龄在18至65岁之间的pSS患者。同一位研究人员对每位患者进行了以下测试:(I)疼痛质量评估量表(PQAS);(II)伯格平衡量表(BBS);(III)匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI);(IV)医学结局研究简明健康调查问卷(SF - 36);(V)坦帕运动恐惧疲劳量表问卷(TSK - F);(VI)国际跌倒效能量表(FES - I);(VII)计时起立行走测试(TUG)。使用欧洲抗风湿病联盟干燥综合征疾病活动指数(ESSDAI)标准记录疾病活动情况。以下因素与跌倒恐惧相关:(I)睡眠质量恶化(p = 0.031),(II)总体健康感知下降(p < 0.001),(III)疼痛严重程度增加(p < 0.001),(IV)运动恐惧(p < 0.001),(V)及时起身和行走困难(p < 0.001),(VI)疾病活动增加(p < 0.001)。目前尚无关于pSS患者跌倒恐惧的患病率或影响因素的信息。这是第一项对成年pSS患者样本进行跌倒恐惧及其影响因素横断面研究的研究。这些发现有助于开发一种筛查工具,以找出易患跌倒焦虑的pSS患者的可改变风险因素。
