“…The reliability of the questionnaire has been confirmed in numerous studies, among them two reviews [22,23] including 200 and 747 relevant studies, respectively. We used a French translated version introduced in a validation study by Lépine et al [24]. The questionnaire is composed of 14 questions (7 for the anxiety score and 7 for the depression score).…”

Introduction: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disorder, characterized by photoreceptor degeneration inducing progressive vision loss. This study evaluates its impact on quality of life (QOL) and emotional states of patients affected by RP. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 RP patients diagnosed with rod-cone dystrophy and on 20 control subjects. The RP population has been divided into 3 groups according to visual field (VF) and visual acuity (VA) impairments. Concurrently, scores of self-reported QOL (25-item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire) and of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for anxiety/depression assessments were collected. Results: For the QOL composite score, we noticed consistent differences between all VF and VA affected groups and their control group. We also found significant differences between both the most affected VF group (VF1: ØVF <20°) and VA group (VA1: VA <0.3) compared to other VF and VA groups. For anxiety/depression scores, consistent differences have been found between the control group and VF1 and VA1, respectively. Conclusions: This work determines that, for RP patients, a significant QOL and emotional state deterioration correlates with a residual VF diameter below 20° and a VA lower than 0.3. It introduces, for the first time, thresholds to be used in visual restoration or visual preservation therapies to improve QOL of RP patients.

“…8 in each subscale indicate moderate to high levels of depressive/anxiety symptoms. 23 A research technician handed the HADS to patients between 3 PM and 7 PM the day before surgery, at a time when they had no visitors, and instructed them to complete it alone after the technician left and to place it in an anonymized envelope that was kept aside for the duration of the study. Surgeons and more generally attending physicians therefore had no access to its contents.…”

BackgroundMedical progress and the lifestyle modification have prolonged life expectancy, despite the development of chronic diseases. Support and care for older subjects are often provided by a network of informal caregivers composed of family, friends and neighbors, who are essential in helping older persons to continue living at home. It has been shown that the extent and diversity of informal tasks may jeopardize the physical, mental and social wellbeing of caregivers.Methods/designThe aim of the Informal Carers of Elderly cohort is to define, through a longitudinal study, profiles of caregivers of older patients with a diagnosis of one of the following diseases: cancer (breast, prostate, colorectal), neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and similar diseases), neurovascular diseases (stroke), sensory diseases (age-related macular degeneration (AMD)) and heart disease (heart failure). Patients must be at least 60 years old and living in the region of Burgundy-Franche-Comte (France). By following the different phases of the caregiving relationship from the announcement of the diagnosis, it will be possible to assess the quality of life of caregivers, coping strategies, levels of anxiety and depression, social support and the extent of their burden. We will also evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of the implementation of a pragmatic intervention by a social worker to help informal caregivers, through a randomized interventional trial nested in the cohort. Qualitative approaches aimed at studying the caregiver/patient relationship, and situations leading to breakdown of the caregiver relationship will be also undertaken.DiscussionThrough an analytical and longitudinal definition of profiles of informal caregivers, this study will gather detailed information on their life courses and their health trajectory by identifying consequences associated with the concept of their role as carers. In addition, the randomized interventional trial will explore the relevance of the implementation of a supportive intervention by a social worker to help caregivers. These data will help to identify strategies that could be used to improve the existing sources of aid and to propose new approaches to help caregivers. This study will provide the opportunity to identify the most relevant means of support adapted to caregivers, and provide an impulse for new health care policies.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02626377.
