ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the health-related quality of life of patients with a permanent cardiac pacemaker. Method: descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study conducted in the arrhythmia outpatient unit of a university hospital located in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. The consecutive and non-probabilistic sample was composed of both sexes, older than 29 years old, having a pacemaker for at least one month. Those lacking the cognitive condition to answer the questionnaires, as well as those with dyspnea, weakness, or fatigue at the time the instruments were applied, or with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, were excluded. The generic instrument Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey, composed of 36 questions distributed into eight domains along with the specific instrument Assessment of Quality of Life and Related Events, composed of 20 questions distributed into three domains, were used to assess health-related quality of life. Results: 88 patients participated; most were men, had a partner, and were aged 64.3 (±13) years old on average. The domains from the Medical Outcomes Study 36 that obtained the highest means, that is, were the best-rated, were Social Functioning (78.1; ±26.8) and Emotional Well-Being (68.2; ±23.9), while the lowest means were obtained by Physical Health (48.2; ±41.4) and Physical Functioning (58.5; ±27.9). In regard to the Assessment of Quality of Life and Related Events, the Arrhythmia domain had the highest mean and best quality of life (78.2; ±20.7), while the lowest mean was Dyspnea (71.1; ±26.8). Conclusion: the patients gave the highest health-related quality of life ratings in regard to mental domains and the lowest ratings for the physical domains.

This study analyzed the occurrence of occupational accidents among hospital workers between 2000 and 2005 and health-related quality of life of a sample of injured workers in 2005. Data obtained through occupational accident reports indicated 286 injured workers. In typical accidents (91.6%), accidents with piercing-cutting instruments affected 68.5% of workers. The results related to health-related quality of life obtained from 61 injured workers in 2005, through the SF-36 Medical Outcomes Study 36 - item short form health survey, evidenced high average values in most of the analyzed domains, while the lowest score observed was Vitality and Bodily Pain. No significant differences in health-related quality of life were found among injured workers from the three studied hospitals.

The Relationship

BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the relationship between physiological outcomes and quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Health-related quality of life (HRQL) data may provide a valuable patient-centred outcome for the evaluation of interventions. Determination of which physiological and functional variables are associated with HRQL may facilitate interpretation of disease progression and impacts of therapy.OBJECTIVES: To determine whether an association between Medical Outcomes Short-Form 36 and St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire scores and other markers of disease severity exist, and to identify which physiological and functional variables are independently associated with HRQL.METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 137 patients with IPF completed HRQL surveys and underwent clinical assessment. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between age, forced vital capacity, diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide, 6 min walk distance (6MWD) and oxygen requirement, and HRQL scores.RESULTS: 6MWD was the only functional measure of disease severity significantly associated with all domain scores of the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire and the Medical Outcomes Short-Form 36 physical component summary score.CONCLUSIONS: 6MWD was associated with HRQL among patients with IPF. This highlights the importance of 6MWD not only as a prognostic indicator in IPF, but also a predictor of HRQL and a meaningful outcome for patients.
