“…In the study, stepwise regression analyses when using several clinical variables including the BACS scores as independent variables showed that the QLS total score was significantly predicted by the PANSS negative syndrome scale score, the CDSS score, and the BACS Attention and speed of information processing score. The results were rather consistent with those of previous researches in terms of that cognitive dysfunction was on the whole related to lowered objective QOL (28,30,37).…”

“…To elucidate the relation between cognitive function and QOL in schizophrenia patients, Yamauchi et al (37) investigated the relations between the SQLS, the QLS, and the PANSS cognitive factor in 84 outpatients with schizophrenia. The results showed that although the PANSS cognitive factor was significantly correlated with both of the SQLS and the QLS, it seemed to have a greater influence on the QLS score than the SQLS score.…”

This analysis aimed to examine the association between remission and quality of life (QOL) in schizophrenia. In post-hoc analyses of the 3-year, prospective, observational Schizophrenia Outpatients Health Outcomes (SOHO) study, we compared the QOL of patients who achieved symptomatic and clinical remission with those who did not, and the factors associated. Symptomatic remission was defined as achieving a score of ≤ 3 on the Clinical Global ImpressionsSchizophrenia (CGI-SCH) scale, maintained for at least 6 months and without hospitalization. QOL was patient self-rated using the European-QOL. Of the 6516 patients analysed, 38% were in symptomatic remission 12 months post-baseline and 52% at 36 months. Functional remission remained fairly constant from 12 months to 36 months (22.4% at both time points). At all visits from 12 to 36 months, patient QOL and social functioning were significantly higher for patients in symptomatic remission. QOL was higher in patients in functional remission compared to those not in functional remission at all time points. Patients with maintained symptomatic remission over the 3-year follow-up had a much greater improvement in QOL than patients with no symptomatic remission or symptomatic remission for part of the period. Factors associated with a better QOL included symptomatic remission, paid employment, socially active, having a higher CGI-SCH cognitive score, good compliance, and a better baseline QOL. Achieving symptomatic remission in schizophrenia is associated with an increase in patient self-perceived QOL, even when adjusting for confounding factors.

Predictors of subjective and objective quality of life in outpatients with schizophrenia

Abstract: Cognitive dysfunction had a greater influence on objective QOL than subjective QOL. Treating depressive and negative symptoms and extrapyramidal symptoms might contribute to enhanced subjective and objective QOL.
