ABSTRACT Background: Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease of the joints. Functional limitations experienced by people with knee osteoarthritis are related to changes in quality of life. Knee Osteoarthritis needs to be assessed as a whole which includes several domains of quality of life, namely the domains of pain, stiffness and physical function. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between pain intensity and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: a quantitative study using an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional approach. Population of 70 patients, a sample of 33 patients. The research was conducted in October 2020 at the Orthopedic Hospital in Surakarta City, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected by direct interviews to assess pain intensity based on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and assess quality of life based on the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. Normality test using Sapiro Wilk because the data is normaly distributed. Hipotesis test using Pearson correlation.  Results: Age range of patients with knee osteoarthritis mostly occurred at the age of 56-60 years, women had a greater frequency of experiencing knee osteoarthritis with a frequency of 78.8%, the most incidence of knee osteoarthritis was experienced by patients with normal BMI, namely 54.5%, The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a significance value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.000149 <0.05, which means that there is a significant correlation between the variables between pain and quality of life. Has a positive relationship and strong relationship strength (r = 0.613). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between pain intensity and quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis

ABSTRACT Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), especially knee OA, is the fourth cause of disability in the world. OA affected the daily physical activity and quality of life of the patients. This study aimed to analyze the various factors that affect nutritional, physical, psychosocial, and comorbid disease affecting quality of life in knee osteoarthritis patients at William Booth hospital, Semarang, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at William Booth Hospital, Semarang, Central Java. A sample of 79 patients with knee osteoarthritis was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was the quality of life. The independent variables were age, nutritional status, pain intensity, radiological features, family function, length of illness, unilateral/ bilateral OA knee, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. The data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: Osteoarthritis in elderlies was significantly associated with age (p <0.001), nutritional status (p <0.001), pain intensity (p <0.001), radiological features (p= 0.020), and family function (p <0.001). Osteoarthritis in elderlies was insignificantly associated with length of illness (p= 0.445), unilateral/ bilateral OA knee (p= 0.153), hypertension (p= 0.272), and diabetes mellitus (p= 0.617). Conclusion: Osteoarthritis in elderlies is significantly associated with age, nutritional status, pain intensity, radiological features, and family function, but insignificantly associated with length of illness, unilateral/ bilateral OA knee, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.

Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of knee pain which contributes to adults’ disability. Females have an increased risk of knee osteoarthritis. However, little is known about the gender influence in pain perception, quality of life (QOL), and physical activity. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the influence of gender on pain perception, QOL, and physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A cross-sectional study design with a total of 186 patients(mean age of 56.64 ± 6.49) with knee osteoarthritis were recruited. Pain intensity, level of physical activity, and QOL of patients were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Among the studied patients, 52% of patients with knee osteoarthritis had a relatively low level of physical activity with females representing the majority of them. Lower mean was observed in QOL and physical activity whereas pain intensity was higher in females compared to males (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation demonstrated a strong negative correlation between physical activity and pain (r = -0.77, n = 186, p <0.01), and a weak correlation exist between physical activity and all domains of QOL except for the functional capacity and body pain. Majority of female participants with knee osteoarthritis exhibit poor QOL, physical activity, and increased pain intensity as compared to males. Clinicians need to be aware of the influence of gender in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective. To adapt and validate the Malay version of Osteoarthritis Knee and Hip Quality of Life (OAKHQOL) questionnaire. Design. The OAKHQOL was adapted into Malay version using forward-backward translation methodology. It was then validated in a cross-sectional study of 191 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Patients completed the OAKHQOL and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. Confirmatory analysis, reliability analysis, and Pearson correlation test were performed. Results. The new five-factor model of 28 items demonstrated an acceptable level of goodness of fit (comparative fit index = 0.915, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.905, incremental fit index = 0.916, chi-squared/degree of freedom = 1.953, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.071), signifying a fit model. The Cronbach’s alpha value and the composite reliability of each construct ranged from 0.865 to 0.933 and 0.819 to 0.921, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the OAKHQOL and the WOMAC showed adequate criterion validity. Known groups validity showed statistical difference in body mass index in physical activity, mental health, and pain construct. The pain domain was statistically different between the age groups. Conclusion. The Malay version OAKHQOL questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess health-related quality of life in knee OA patients.

Knee Oa

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common degenerative joint disease resulting in bone pain and disability. The aim of current study is to determine diet quality by healthy eating index (HEI)-2015 in association with pain and functional status among a sample of participants with primary knee OA. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 220 patients with knee OA were recruited via convenience sampling in the outpatient clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences between April and September 2018. The HEI-2015 score was calculated from dietary data collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Visual analogue scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and the SF36 quality of life (QoL) questionnaire were applied to measure the pain intensity, functional status and QoL in the participants, respectively. Participants were categorized based on the quintile cutoff points of HEI score including 42-62, 63-69, 70-75, 76-78 and 79-100. Results: The mean score of HEI was 70.62±10.18 (range: 42–89). Participants with greater HEI- 2015 scores had higher total energy intake (P=0.008) and greater dietary intake of carbohydrates (P=0.01), protein (P=0.009), monounsaturated fatty acids (P=0.01), polyunsaturated fatty acids (P=0.007) and fiber (P=0.009) and lower intake of saturated fatty acids (P=0.005). Participants in higher quintiles of HEI had significantly lower pain intensity (P=0.001) and higher scores of physical function (P=0.001), pain (P=0.001) and role limitation due to physical problems (P=0.005) subscales of SF-36 QoL questionnaire in comparison with participants in lower quintiles of HEI-2015. Conclusion: The HEI-2015 score is associated with pain intensity and two domain of QoL in patients with knee OA.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized for an uncomfortable sensation in legs and an irresistible desire to move them. This disorder has been more recently recognized in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and can interfere with the quality of life (QOL). Objectives: The aims of this study are to describe the prevalence of RLS and its severity and influence on the QOL in patients with MG. Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to June 2016 in Recife, Brazil. A sample of 42 patients was interviewed using a sociodemographic questionnaire, MG QOL questionnaire-15 and The RLS Rating Scale. Results: RLS was present in 47.6% of patients and of these 40.5% met moderate to severe RLS criteria. Patients were 45 years on average (SD ± 14.4) and women represented 57.1% of the study population. Among patients with RSL, the quality-of-life scores were worse (p = 0.010) on average. There was no association of RLS with the duration of MG, use of immunosuppressant or clinical conditions that could mimic the occurrence of RLS. Conclusion: RLS is a prevalent condition in patients with MG, and may be severe enough to negatively impact QOL.

Abstract Background and aims Painful polyneuropathy (PPN) is a disabling complication of diabetes. This study aims to determine its prevalence and relationship with Quality of Life (QoL) in a nationwide prospective cohort of incident recently diagnosed Danish type 2 diabetic patients. Methods We sent a detailed questionnaire on neuropathy, pain and QoL to 6726 patients prospectively enrolled from general practitioners and hospital specialist outpatient clinics into the Danish Centre for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes (DD2) cohort. Patients who reported pain in both feet and a score ≥3 on the Douleur Neuropathique (DN4) questionnaire were considered to have possible PPN. QoL and pain intensity were measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS, 0–10). The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) was used to assess neuropathy. Results A total of 5371 (79.8%) returned a complete questionnaire. 848 (15.8%) recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients reported pain in both feet. Of the 619 patients with pain who completed the DN4 questionnaire, 404 (65.2%) had a DN4 score ≥ 3, corresponding to a prevalence in the total population of possible PPN of 10.3%. Mean pain intensity was 5.2 (SD 2.2) and 89% had a MNSI score ≥ 3. Patients with possible PPN had a substantially lower QoL score than those without PPN (median QoL score 6 versus 8 (p < 0.001)), also when correcting for MNSI score. Conclusions Ten percent of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in Denmark had possible PPN. Patients with PPN had lower QoL than patients without PPN.

Objective: To assess relationships between treatment-associated changes in measures of ADHD symptoms, functional impairments, and health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with ADHD. Method: Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated post hoc for changes from baseline to endpoint in outcomes of one randomized, placebo- and active-controlled trial of lisdexamfetamine (osmotic-release methylphenidate reference) and one of guanfacine extended-release (atomoxetine reference). Results: Changes in ADHD Rating Scale IV (ADHD-RS-IV) total score generally correlated moderately with changes in Child Health and Illness Profile−Child Edition: Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE:PRF) Achievement and Risk Avoidance ( r ≈ .4), but weakly with Resilience, Satisfaction, and Comfort ( r ≈ .2); and moderately with Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale–Parent (WFIRS-P) total score ( r ≈ .5). CHIP-CE:PRF Achievement and Risk Avoidance correlated moderately to strongly with WFIRS-P total score ( r ≈ .6). Conclusion: The ADHD-RS-IV, CHIP-CE:PRF, and WFIRS-P capture distinct but interconnected aspects of treatment response in individuals with ADHD.

AbstractObjective. Pain catastrophizing is an important pain-related variable, but its impact on patients with osteoarthritis is uncertain. The aim of the current study was to determine whether pain catastrophizing was independently associated with quality of life (QOL) in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. Design. Cross-sectional study conducted between June 2017 and February 2018. Setting. Tertiary center. Subjects. Seventy consecutively enrolled patients with severe hip osteoarthritis who had experienced pain for six or more months that limited daily function, and who were scheduled for primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty. Methods. QOL was measured using the EuroQOL-5 Dimensions questionnaire, the Japanese Orthopedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire, and a dissatisfaction visual analog scale. Covariates included pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, range of hip motion, and gait speed. The variables were subjected to multivariate analysis with each QOL scale. Results. The median age was 68 years, and the median Pain Catastrophizing Scale score was 26. In multiple regression analysis, pain catastrophizing, pain intensity in both hips, pain intensity on the affected side, hip flexion on the affected side, and gait speed were independently correlated with QOL. Conclusions. Pain catastrophizing was independently associated with each QOL scale in preoperative patients with severe hip osteoarthritis. Pain catastrophizing had either the strongest or second strongest effect on QOL, followed by pain intensity.

ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the association between the prognostic scores and the quality of life of candidates for heart transplantation. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 32 outpatients applying to heart transplantation. The prognosis was rated by the Heart Failure Survival Score (HFSS) and the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM); and the quality of life by the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). The Pearson correlation test was applied. Results: the correlations found between general quality of life scores and prognostic scores were (HFSS/MLHFQ r = 0.21), (SHFM/MLHFQ r = 0.09), (HFSS/KCCQ r = -0.02), (SHFM/KCCQ r = -0.20). Conclusion: the weak correlation between the prognostic and quality of life scores suggests a lack of association between the measures, i.e., worse prognosis does not mean worse quality of life and the same statement is true in the opposite direction.
