“…Each item is given a score from 0 (absence of fatigue) to 4 (high level of fatigue). Psychometric properties of the MFIS showed high internal consistencies (Cronbach's α = 0.93, 0.92, and 0.81 for cognitive, physical, and psychosocial dimensions respectively), and the testretest reproducibility of the total score was satisfactory (correlation of 0.82 (95 % CI = 0.62 to 0.93)).The quality of life of the subjects was assessed by the SF-36 [18], a self-report questionnaire divided into specific dimensions of health. Scores in the SF-36 dimensions vary from 0 (worst health-related quality of life [HRQoL]) to 100 (best HRQoL).…”

Physical dimension of fatigue correlated with disability change over time in patients with multiple sclerosis

To determine the value of fatigue in predicting the change in disability status in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), we realized a prospective population-based cohort study of 196 patients with clinically definite MS. In 2002, baseline data were collected on fatigue (Modified Fatigue Impact Scale), health-related quality of life (SF-36), and disability status (EDSS score). The EDSS scores were determined again at least three years later. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine the predictive value of different dimensions of fatigue and other variables (depression and SF- 36) on the change in disability status. Of the 196 patients, 106 (54%) patients had an unchanged status or improvement and 90 (46%) showed a worsening of disability. After three years, with control for gender, age, and baseline disability status, a high baseline level of physical fatigue was associated with a worsening of disability status, whereas a low baseline level of physical fatigue was associated with the absence of worsening of the EDSS score. Other dimensions of fatigue, depression and SF-36 were not associated with a worsening of disability.A patient's perceived fatigue may be not only a clinically and psychosocially meaningful outcome but also a predictor of objective outcomes such as changes in disability status at three years.

“…Self-Perceived Health of Parents Questionnaire (SF-36) Self-perceived health of parents was assessed using the health status questionnaire SF-36. The French version of the SF-36 (Leplège et al, 1998) has been transmitted to each of the 124 ASD parents and the 45 control parents. The mothers and fathers were asked to complete it independently of one another.…”

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by deficits in reciprocal social interaction and communication which have a major effect on the quality of life of the parents. Self-perceived health of 124 ASD parents was investigated using the short-form health survey (SF-36) questionnaire. In a first step, comparative analysis was performed between a control group of parents and three groups of ASD parents classified according to the severity levels for autism spectrum disorder. In a second step, correlation analysis was performed between the self-perceived health of ASD parents and a continuous rating scale of the severity level of ASD children, determined with the Childhood Autistic Rating Scale (CARS) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Generic (ADOS-G). Results show that as the severity level of ASD symptoms increase, mother's perception of their own health decreases. Statistical analysis revealed a very strong relationship between the Mental Health of the mothers and the ASD children, especially with the deficit in social interaction. Restrictive and repetitive behavior and difficulty in play have less direct impact on the quality of life of ASD mothers. The highest impairment in quality of life was observed for the mothers of severe autism children, in the time spent at work and the difficulty to perform activities, due to mental and physical problems. Relationship between fathers and ASD children is significantly lower than that observed for mothers, except for problems with work or other daily activities as a result of physical health. These finding must be taken into account to provide better and more focused support to ASD mothers, in order to improve the mental health and to reduce the difficulty in performing activities.

“…Un score peut être calculé pour chacun de ces paramètres. Deux scores résumés sont calculés par combinaison linéaire des scores standardisés de chaque dimension : un score résumé physique et un score résumé psychique [8]. Chaque score varie de 0 (très faible niveau de qualité de vie) à 100 (niveau élevé de qualité de vie).…”

“…Les scores ont été calibrés pour atteindre en moyenne 50 dans une population moyenne américaine. A titre indicatif, les valeurs de qualité de vie de 502 femmes françaises de 65 à 74 ans (donc plus jeunes que dans l'étude HYOGA) ont été incluses [8]. L'analyse des questionnaires de qualité de vie SF-36 (tableau III) a mis en évidence une différence significative entre les groupes HTF + et HTF À en ce qui concerne les limitations liées à l'état physique, la vitalité, la vie et la relation avec les autres, les limitations dues à l'état psychique, l'évolution de la santé perçue et le score résumé psychique.…”
