“…28 Rupp and his colleagues who studied on disability and health-related quality of life, pointed to RA as an effective factor interferes with normal daily activities and sleep. 29 Also individual character is one of those factors which can be aligned with sleep rhythm and rest, also can be effective on QOL. For instance, results showed that age as an individual character can influence the QOL.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this predictive study was to identify factors affecting health related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The participants in this study were 131 patients with RA who were recruited from the outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Seoul. Disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis was evaluated by calculating the Disease Activity Score 28. Disability in activities of daily living (ADL) was assessed with the Korean Health Assessment Questionnaire, and depression with The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. HRQoL was evaluated using The Short Form 36 Health Survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Pain, disability in ADL, disease activity, and depression correlated negatively with physical and mental dimensions of HRQoL. But hierachical multiple regression analysis revealed that disability in ADL and depression were the only variables negatively influencing physical and mental QoL after adjustment for influences of sociodemographic variables. Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that disability in ADL and depression, rather than disease activity and pain have profound effects on HRQoL in patients with RA. Further studies are needed to assess the predictive ability of disease activity and pain on HRQoL in this population.

“…Thus, the main treatment aims are to improve QoL and minimize disease complications (21). In RA cases, the disease activity is not sufficient for the exact detection of the effects of RA on QoL (22). Evaluating and measuring QoL in the patients with RA is the most comprehensive method to assess disease effects and monitor response to treatment.…”

“…AUASI questionnaire includes seven questions to query the presence of a possible irritative (frequency, urgency, and nocturia) and obstructive (incomplete emptying, decrease in flow rate, and straining) urinary symptoms. A scoring system was utilized to classify the degree of the symptoms as mild (0-7), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), or severe (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). The final item of the AUASI form investigates the impact of urinary symptoms on QoL, and this entity is scored between 0 and 6 (10).…”

Objective: To investigate the frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate its possible effects on quality of life (QoL). Material and Methods: A total of 104 women diagnosed with RA, who were aged between 30 and 60 years, and 82 healthy women were included in this study. We used the American Urological Association symptom index as the gold criteria in the evaluation of LUTS and QoL. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to evaluate anxiety/depression levels, whereas disease activity scale (DAS-28) and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) were used to determine the disease activity levels. Results: There was no statistical difference between the two groups by means of age range. There was a prominent difference in LUTS frequency between the groups and moderate to severe symptoms were higher in women with RA. QoL measurements were also significantly lower in this group (p<0.01). There was a positive relationship between anxiety and LUTS and significantly positive relationship between depression and LUTS measurement (p<0.01). There was a positive relationship between depression and QoL; however, there was no relationship between anxiety and QoL measurements. Although there was no relationship between LUTS and DAS-28, significant relationship was found between LUTS and HAQ. There was no relationship between QoL and DAS-28; however, there was a significant relationship between QoL and HAQ (p<0.01). Conclusion: LUTS were more frequent in women with RA; furthermore, QoL was low. Furthermore, these symptoms can be related with anxiety and depression. Moderate and severe symptoms observed in women with RA are frequently related with HAQ.

Disability and health‐related quality of life among patients with rheumatoid arthritis: association with radiographic joint damage, disease activity, pain, and depressive symptoms

Abstract: Daily RA practice needs to be broadened by regular assessment of disease burden from the patients' perspectives. Patient-reported measures, such as disability or HRQoL, should be incorporated for monitoring health outcomes of individual patients and for initiating and evaluating therapy.
