“…9 The instruments that assess quality of life may be influenced by the impact of the health condition in life, including the physical, emotional and social domains. 10 Considering the concern over the use of medications in elderly patients with OA, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of pharmacotherapy on the quality of life of these individuals.…”

Methods: Longitudinal study involving 91 older adults from both genders (Age: 70.36 ± 5.57 years) from EELO project with self-reported knee or hip ostheoartritis, confirmed by radiographic analysis. Data regarding pharmacotherapy was assessed by a structured questionnaire and the quality of life was analyzed by SF-36 questionnaire at the initial moment and two years thereafter. All domains from quality of life were grouped in physical and mental components for further data analysis. Results: A statistically significant decline in both physical and mental components of quality of life was observed (Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05). However, it was observed a slighted decline in physical components in group treated with chondroitin/glucosamine when compared to other groups, according to Kruskal-Wallis test (p = 0.007). On the other hand, it was not observed any influence of pharmacological treatment on mental components of healthrelated quality of life (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Treatment with condroitin/glucosamin contributes to a lower decline in physical component while it had no influence on mental component of health-related quality of life in older adults with ostheoartritis. 84 r e v b r a s r e u m a t o l . 2 0 1 5;5 5(1):83-88 Análise da influência da farmacoterapia sobre a qualidade de vida em idosos com osteoartritePalavras-chave: Osteoartrite Idoso Funcionalidade Incapacidade funcional Qualidade de vida r e s u m o Objetivos: Analisar a influência da farmacoterapia da osteoartrite na qualidade de vida de idosos. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal, do qual participaram 91 idosos de ambos os gêneros (idade: 70,36 ± 5,57 anos), integrantes do projeto Estudo sobre Envelhecimento e Longevidade (EELO), portadores de osteoartrite de quadril e/ou joelho, confirmada por análise radiográ-fica. Foram levantados dados sobre a farmacoterapia da osteoartrite mediante o uso de questionários estruturados e a qualidade de vida foi analisada pelo questionário SF-36, no momento inicial e dois anos após a coleta de dados. Os diferentes domínios da qualidade de vida foram agrupados em domínios físicos e mentais para posterior análise dos dados. Resultados: Foi observado um declínio estatisticamente significativo tanto nos componentes físicos quanto mentais da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos (teste de Wilcoxon, p < 0,05). Foi observado menor declínio no componente físico da qualidade de vida para os usuários de condroitina/glicosamina em comparação com o grupo tratado com anti-inflamatórios ou não tratado, segundo o teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p = 0,007). Por outro lado, não foi observada influência do tratamento farmacológico sobre o componente mental da qualidade de vida (p > 0,0...

“…As a result, this condition will likely continue to present substantial challenges for health planning in the coming years. Reliable measurements of health outcomes in OALL are increasingly important for health decision makers, health professionals and patients [16]. An essential element for advancing knowledge of the impact of OALL is the availability of measures that can be used to accurately and thoroughly measure the individual burden posed by this disease [17].…”

Impact of lower limb osteoarthritis on health-related quality of life: A cross-sectional study to estimate the expressed loss of utility in the Spanish population

Objective Osteoarthritis of the lower limb (OALL) worsens health-related quality of life (HRQL), but this impact has not been quantified with standardized measures. We intend to evaluate the impact of OALL on HRQL through measures based on individual preferences in comparison to the general population. Methods A cross-sectional study was designed. A total of 6234 subjects aged 50 years or older without OALL were selected from the Spanish general population (National Health Survey 2011-12). An opportunistic sample of patients aged 50 years or older diagnosed with hip (n = 331) or knee osteoarthritis (n = 393), using the American Rheumatism Association criteria, was recruited from six hospitals and 21 primary care centers in Vizcaya, Madrid and Tenerife between January and December 2015. HRQL was measured with the EQ-5D-5L, and the results were transformed into utility scores. Sociodemographic variables (age, sex, social group, cohabitation), number of chronic diseases, and body mass index were

“…Treatment goals include pain control, maximizing functional independence, and improving QoL within the constraints imposed by both OA and comorbidities 5 . Outcome measures can help us evaluate the functional status of the patients and they provide an objective tool for assessing the severity of impairment, functional disability and handicap at personal and community levels [6][7][8][9] . The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires measure health-related QoL and specific outcome measures for OA.…”

Background/Aim. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the clinical manifestation of degenerative joint changes. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in quality of life (QoL) between patients with severe hip and knee OA. Methods. This is the cross-sectional study of 195 patients (average age 63.2 ± 11.1 yrs), with a diagnosis of OA of the hip and knee that were assigned to receive a total hip or knee replacement. The patients were divided into three groups in relation to localization of OA. The first group included patients with hip OA; the second group consisted of patients with knee OA and the third group with both hip and knee OA. Demographic and clinical data were collected for each patient. We measured healthrelated quality of life (QoL) by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires. Statistical significance of differences was at the level of p < 0.05. Results. The best QoL was in the group of knee OA (42.7 ± 11.3) and the worst in the group with both hip and knee OA patients (35.8 ± 12.7). QoL assessed by WOMAC score and the domain of physical function were significantly different among three groups of patients with OA (F = 5.377, p < 0.01 and F = 5.273, p < 0.01) respectively). Results of three multiple linear regression models where WOMAC score was dependent variable and age, body mass index (BMI), social class, pain, stiffness, physical function, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, diabetes mellitus were independent variables, have shown that QoL was statistically significantly associated with pain and physical function in the hip and knee OA groups, whereas in the group with both hip and knee OA patients, QoL was associated with BMI, pain, physical function and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion. QoL of patients with severe hip and knee osteoarthritis in relation to localization was significantly different. QoL in severe hip and knee OA patients was significantly associated with pain and physical function, but in patients with both hip and knee OA QoL was also associated with BMI and diabetes mellitus.
