“…There was a moderate correlation between BDCAF score and absenteeism, but no relation between presenteeism and DAI. Interestingly, this was in contrast to ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis patients, in whom an important association was shown between disease activity and work productivity and daily activity (Boonen et al., 2010; Salazar-Mejia et al., 2018). There was a meaningful association of mean presenteeism and DAI with the patient Likert scale.…”

Introduction: Behçet disease is a chronic vasculitis that generally affects young adults in the most productive period of their life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients' work productivity and daily activity impairment, and their relationship with disease activity and quality of life. Method: In this study, 55 patients with Behçet disease who are currently working and 50 healthy controls were included. To evaluate quality of life, a 36-item short form health survey was used. For the evaluation of Behçet disease activity and work productivity, the Behçet Disease Current Activity Form and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire were used, respectively. Quality of life and work productivity between patients and healthy controls were compared. Results: Scores of all domains of the health survey were significantly worse in patients with Behçet disease (range, p ¼ 0.006 to p < 0.001). The mean Work Productivity and Activity Impairment absenteeism, presenteeism and activity impairment scores were higher in patients with Behçet disease (p ¼ 0.005, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). There was a significant correlation between Behçet Disease Current Activity Form score and absenteeism (r ¼ 0.32, p ¼ 0.016). Moreover, there was significant correlation between Work Productivity and Activity Impairment and most domains of the health survey (range, r ¼ À0.27 to-0.64, range, p ¼ 0.047 to p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our results showed remarkable impairment in work productivity and health-related quality of life in Behçet disease. There is a strong correlation between work productivity and quality of life. To improve work productivity, more effective therapeutic approaches and improvements in working conditions should be provided.

“…We found that the strongest association was with functional capacity. 33 People who do not regularly exercise showed a higher prevalence of the OHRQOL impact compared to those who do exercise. This may be related to the fact that physical activity in RA patients improves the symptoms of the disease, which can influence general well-being and, in turn, be reflected in the perception of oral health and the possibility of self-care.…”

Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) are chronic diseases that are associated with connective tissue and bone destruction, which affects the quality of life of the people suffering from these conditions. The identification of social conditions and the determinants of RA and PD would permit the elaboration of policies and strategies based on social reality.Objectives. The aim of the present study was to identify the relationship between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the indicators of general health and oral health in patients with RA. Material and methods.A cross-sectional study involving 59 patients with RA was conducted between 2019 and 2020. Demographic, general health, periodontal, and oral health parameters were collected. In addition, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was administered to each patient. A description of the OHIP-14 dimensions according to different variables was performed. The relationship between OHRQoL and general/oral health indicators was analyzed with logistic and linear regression analyses.Results. The highest OHIP-14 scores were found in people that were 60 years of age and over, single, had low educational achievements, a low socioeconomic status, were unemployed, and had no health affiliation. In the adjusted model, the prevalence of the impact on OHRQoL was 1.34 (1.10-5.29) times greater in those with erosive RA than in those without, and 2.22 (1.16-29.50) times greater in those who self-reported morning stiffness. Regarding the stage of PD, those with stage IV had a prevalence of the impact on the OHRQoL of 70%, an average extent of 3.4 ±4.5 and a severity score of 11.5 ±22.0, with statistically significant differences.Conclusions. The dimensions with the greatest impact on the OHRQoL of patients were physical pain, discomfort and psychological disability. The type of RA and the severity of PD are indicators of worse scores on the OHRQoL scale.

“…Disability and pain in CHIKV patients were similar to the levels seen in rheumatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other rheumatic diseases 4 . Joint pains are the most common symptoms in chronic CHIKV patients 24 . Persistent arthralgia promotes low functionality, low sleep quality, and mood disturbances, including depression and anxiety 13,25 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) chronic polyarthralgia deteriorates general functionality and work productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate functionality, pain, quality of life, and sleep quality of individuals with chronic CHIKV arthralgia and correlate them with clinical symptoms, work productivity, and activity impairment. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with 61 chronic CHIKV arthralgia patients. Functionality was assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Pain intensity and interference were measured by using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI), respectively. Quality of life and sleep were evaluated using the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Work Productivity and Activity
