Objective: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adult patients who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods: During the perioperative and postoperative period, a standard scale involving eight dimensions was used to analyze the HRQoL of 85 adult patients who underwent thoracic device closure of VSD and 80 healthy adults located locally were randomly selected as the control group in our center. Results: A total of 80 patients' and 80 healthy adults' questionnaires were received with complete feedback. Out of all of the items that were investigated, postoperative patients experienced better feelings in some dimensions than the control group. Postoperative feedback was also better than preoperative feedback in some dimensions. In the comparison of the subgroups of these patients, the scores of the elderly were lower than those of the young in most dimensions. Males had more positive feedback in two aspects ("role-physical" (p = 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.003)), whereas unmarried people seemed to have poor emotional responses ("role-emotional" (p < 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.023)). There was no significant difference in any dimensions except "social functioning" (p < 0.01) between people with different levels of education.Conclusions: Most of the adult patients who underwent thoracic closure of VSD felt that they could lead a normal life. They seemed to have reasonably normal psychosocial responses compared to healthy controls. Many patients even though their HRQoL was better than healthy individuals.

“…In designing a study to determine PSI validity, we found a lack of conceptually relevant tools against which to compare the PSI. Other PROMs like the PROMIS 26,27 , SF-36 28,,29 and the Medical Symptom Toxicity Questionnaire (MSQ) 30 are powerful assessment tools in their own right, but none were created to be digital-first in this new era of telehealth-centric care delivery. This gap in available PROMs drove us to create the PSI, and why we chose to validate it against the SRH.…”

Background / PurposeThe Parsley Symptom Index (PSI) is a recently developed symptom assessment for adults with chronic disease in telehealth settings. The purpose of this study was to validate the PSI against the Self-Rated Health (SRH) item.Materials and MethodsThis prospective cohort study took place from January 15, 2021 to December 15, 2021 among a sample of 10,519 adult patients at Parsley Health, a subscription based holistic medical practice. The PSI and the SRH were completed by patients via an online portal. The association between the PSI and SRH was assessed via polyserial and polychoric correlations, while weighted kappa scores provided information related to agreement between the PSI and SRH.ResultsFrom 22,748 responses, there were moderate levels of association (polyserial r=0.51; polychoric r=0.52) and agreement (weighted □ = 0.46) between the PSI and SRH. In total 74.2% (16865) of responses between the PSI and SRH were relatively congruent while 36.2% (8229) were literally congruent.ConclusionsThe PSI demonstrates validity with the SRH for adults with chronic disease in a telehealth setting.

Background: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the nose that occurs as an IgE-mediated reaction. Classical symptoms of allergic rhinitis are sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itching and rhinorrhea. The effects of allergic rhinitis can have an impact on daily activities that affect the quality of life of sufferers. Purpose: To determine the differences between the quality of life of allergic rhinitis sufferers and non-symptomatic subjects in the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra batch 2017. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample was obtained by total sampling technique and used two questionnaires, Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) to assess allergic rhinitis, and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF 36) to assess the quality of life of the research subjects, which were students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra, of the year 2017. Result: Among 213 students from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara of the year 2017, there were 112 allergic rhinitis sufferers and 101 non-symptomatic students. The median quality of life score for allergic rhinitis sufferers was 74, while the median score of quality of life for non-symptomatic students was 78. Using Man Whitney test, the result obtained p value <0.05 (p = 0.044). Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the quality of life of students with allergic rhinitis and non-symptomatic individuals.Keywords: allergic rhinitis, quality of life, SFAR, SF-36ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Rinitis alergi merupakan inflamasi yang terjadi pada hidung akibat adanya reaksi alergi yang diperantarai oleh IgE. Gejala rinitis alergi berupa bersin-bersin, hidung tersumbat, serta hidung gatal dan rinore. Gejala rinitis alergi dapat berdampak pada aktivitas sehari-hari sehingga mempengaruhi kualitas hidup penderitanya. Tujuan: Mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup penderita dan bukan penderita rinitis alergi pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara, angkatan 2017. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian ditentukan dengan teknik total sampling dan menggunakan dua buah kuesioner yaitu Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) untuk menilai rinitis alergi dan 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) untuk menilai kualitas hidup. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2017. Hasil: Dari 213 mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2017, didapati 112 penderita rinitis alergi dan 101 bukan penderita rinitis alergi. Skor median kualitas hidup penderita rinitis alergi adalah 74 sedangkan skor median kualitas hidup mahasiswa bukan penderita rinitis alergi adalah 78. Dengan uji Man Whitney diperoleh hasil p value <0,05 (p=0,044). Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan antara kualitas hidup penderita rinitis alergi dan bukan penderita rinitis alergi.Kata kunci: rinitis alergi, kualitas hidup, SFAR, SF 36
