Abstract: Heart failure is the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Heart failure is defined as heart’s inability to pump the blood to supply oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues. Functional limitation and psychological distress such as depression caused by this chronic condition will affect the quality of life of patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship of the level of depression and quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure. This was an observational analytical study with a cross sectional approach. Samples were 38 patients with chronic heart failure obtained by using consecutive sampling method. The level of depression was measured by using the Beck Depression Inventory-II meanwhile the quality of life was measured by using the Short Form-36. The results showed that of the 15 respondents with minimal depression, 4 respondents had poor quality of life and 11 respondents had better quality of life; of the 16 respondents with mild depression, 13 respondents had poor quality of life and 3 respondents had better quality of life, meanwhile 5 respondents with moderate depression and two respondents with severe depression had poor quality of life. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the level of depression and the quality of life. The higher the level of depression the poorer the quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure.Keywords: chronic heart failure, levels of depression, quality of life  Abstrak: Gagal jantung merupakan penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas di seluruh dunia.

Quality Of Life Assessment

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Heart failure is a public health problem. Currently, heart failure affects 2-5 % of adults within the age of 65-75 years. (Mosterd & Hoes, 2007)Moreover, rates of hospitalization and rehospitalization among patients with heart failure are high and are associated with poor quality of life(Dunlay et al., 2011)Unsurprisingly, studies have found that poor quality of life is linked to decreased physical activity and increased symptomatology, a perception that can quickly change depending on the patient’s mood. Factors such as age, cultural background, socioeconomical status, ethnicity, and gender are highly correlated with quality of life but have not been studied thoroughly. Quality of life assessment in Puerto Rican Hispanics living with heart failure is non-existent. Objective:•To determine gender-specific differences in quality of life for patients hospitalized due to heart failure in Puerto Rico.•To correlate heart failure symptoms, presence of depression and level of perceived quality of life in Puerto Rican patients hospitalized due to heart failure METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will recruit patients admitted with heart failure (n = 300) to the Cardiovascular Hospital of Puerto Rico and The Caribbean between 2019-2021. In the first aim, we will implement the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire to assess the quality of life of Puerto Rican Hispanics diagnosed that life with heart failure and the short form-36 (SF-36) for a generic quality of life assessment. For the second aim, we will provide two instruments: The Geriatrics DepressionScale QuestionnaireShort Form (GDS-SF)and the Memorial Symptom Assessment ScaleShort Form (MSAS-SF) to assess the presence and severity of depression and multiple general symptoms RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We expect that women living with heart failure will have worse quality of life and higher NYHA scale and NT-pro-BNP. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This contribution is significant because it can clarify the specific risk factors in the Puerto Rican community that are associated with lower quality of life among patients suffering from heart failure. This, in term, can allow physicians to identify which population of HF patients is at risk,and have strategies to improve quality of life

Purpose of the study. Assessing the association between the life quality of patients with Sjogren’s Disease and ongoing therapy with various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.Material and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the regional rheumatology center of the consultative diagnostic clinic of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. This work is based on the results of a simultaneous study of 74 patients with primary Sjogren’s Disease (SD), distributed in three comparison groups receiving various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. The diagnosis of SD was carried out according to European-American criteria AECGC (2002) [18]. In order to analyze the quality of life of patients with SD, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‑36) was used. Statistical data processing was carried out using Statistica 7.0 program.Results. Assessment of the quality of life of patients with SD, which is an integrative criterion of human health and well-being, revealed the absence of statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) on eight scales and two health components of the SF‑36 questionnaire in the analyzed groups that differ in the treatment of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine.Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an equivalent quality of life in SD patients treated with different disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs methotrexate, chlorambucil and hydroxychloroquine, and therefore hydroxychloroquine can be considered as an alternative basic therapy in patients with SD with certain limitations and contraindications methotrexate and chlorambucil.

Satisfaction with quality of life and self-attitude in patients operated by «traditional» (conventional surgical methods) and endoscopically assisted methods are considered in the article. Differences in the quality of life in patients, self-attitude to ones appearance are described. 65 patients were surgically operated and examined. Control group – patients operated by «traditional» techniques (35 patients), the average age of patients was 38 ± 11,1 years. The comparison group – patients operated using endoscopically assisted methods (30 patients), the average age of patients was 44 ± 17,7 years. Psychodiagnostic methods: 1. N. E. Vodopyanova`s scale of life quality; 2. The Short Form-36; 3. S.R. Panteleev`s Assessment of self-relationship. Complaints of paresthesia and pain experienced by patients who underwent a “traditional” operation were revealed as a result of the examination. Operated on with an endoscopically assisted method patients did not present any complaints. Differences between the assessment of the life quality and self-relationship in examined groups were found. Operated on with an endoscopically assisted method patients evaluated life quality, satisfaction with their appearance and physical condition higher than patients operated on with a “traditional” method.

Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating disease resulting in pain, intestinal malabsorption, endocrine dysfunction, and poor quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to analyze surgical outcomes for patients with chronic pancreatitis. Data for patients undergoing operations for chronic pancreatitis between 1990 and 2009 were reviewed. Demographics, operative and perioperative data, and survival were catalogued. QoL was determined (Short Form 36 and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire + PAN-26) and compared with historical controls. The mean age was 51 ± 2 years, 38 patients were male (53%), the most common indication was pain (71%), the etiology of pancreatitis often was alcohol, and most patients underwent a Whipple procedure (56%). Operative time was 316 ± 17 minutes and blood loss was 363 ± 75 mL. There were 34 complications in 30 patients (42%) and one death. QoL surveys were administered for 25 of 55 (45%) surviving patients at a mean follow-up of 72 ± 16 months. Mean survival was 99 ± 9 months, whereas 5- and 10-year survival were 86 and 75 per cent. QoL scores were uniformly better than historical controls. Our data demonstrate that operations for chronic pancreatitis can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Patients have excellent survival and improved QoL compared with historical controls. Surgery is an effective and durable treatment option for patients with chronic pancreatitis.
