“…This short‐form CES‐D demonstrates good validity31 and high correlation with the full CES‐D Form (Pearson r=0.95) 32. With a scale between 0 and 2 (0=hardly ever or never; 1=some of the time; 2=much or most of the time) for each item, the total CES‐D score ranges between 0 and 22.…”

BackgroundEvidence regarding the association of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease with quality of life (QOL) is mainly from selected clinical populations or relatively small clinical cohorts. Thus, we investigated this association in community‐derived populations.Methods and ResultsUsing data of 5115 participants aged 66 to 90 years from visit 5 (2011‐2013) of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, we quantified the associations of ankle‐brachial index (ABI) with several QOL parameters, including 12‐item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐12), after accounting for potential confounders using linear and logistic regression models. Peripheral arterial disease defined by an ABI <0.90 (n=402), was independently associated with a low SF‐12 Physical Component Summary score (−3.26 [95% CI −5.60 to −0.92]), compared to the ABI reference 1.10 to 1.19 (n=1900) but not with the Mental Component Summary score (−0.07 [−2.21 to 2.06]). A low ABI was significantly associated with poorer status of all SF‐12 physical domains (physical functioning, role‐physical, bodily pain, and general health) but only vitality out of 4 mental domains. Similarly, low ABI values were more consistently associated with other physically related QOL parameters (leisure‐time exercise/activity/walking) than mentally related parameters (significant depressive symptoms and hopeless feeling). Lower physical QOL was observed even in individuals with borderline low ABI (0.90 to 0.99; n=426).ConclusionsLow ABI (even borderline) was independently associated with poor QOL, especially for physical components, in community‐dwelling older adults. QOL is a critical element for older adults, and thus, further studies are warranted to assess whether peripheral arterial disease‐specific management can improve QOL in older populations.

“…With regard to CES-D score (depressive symptoms), the majority (79%) of the sample had few or no symptoms. However, 10% of the sample met the cutoff for symptom severity suggestive of clinical depression (>10; n = 17) and an additional 9% exceeded the cutoff for subclinical depression (>8; n = 16) (Kohout et al, 1993). By comparison, 12-month prevalence of mood disorders is approximately 8% among adult women in the United States (Kessler, Chiu, Demler, & Walters, 2005).…”

The CES-D consisted of 11 depressive symptoms rated on a 3-point scale from 0 (hardly ever or never) to 2 (much or most of the time).…”

Sexual Self Schema as a Moderator of Sexual and Psychological Outcomes for Gynecologic Cancer Survivors

Gynecologic cancer patients are at high risk for emotional distress and sexual dysfunction. The present study tested sexual self schema as an individual difference variable that might be useful in identifying those at risk for unfavorable outcomes. First, we tested schema as a predictor of sexual outcomes,including bodychangestress. Second,we examined schema as a contributor to broader quality of life outcomes, specifically as a moderator of the relationship between sexual satisfaction and psychological statue (depressive symptoms and quality of life). A cross-sectional design was used. Gynecologic cancer survivors (N = 175) 2−10 years post treatment were assessed during routine follow up. In regression analyses controlling for sociodemographic variables, patients' physical symptoms/signs as evaluated by nurses, health status, and extent of partner sexual difficulties, sexual self schema accounted for significant variance in the prediction of current sexual behavior, responsiveness, and satisfaction. Moreover, schema moderated the relationship between sexual satisfaction and psychological outcomes, suggesting that a positive sexual self schema might "buffer" patients from depressive symptoms when their sexual satisfaction is low. Furthermore, the combination of a negative sexual self schema and low sexual satisfaction might heighten survivors' risk for psychological distress, including depressive symptomatology. These data support the consideration of sexual self schema as a predictor of sexual morbidity among gynecologic cancer survivors.

“…Slowness was classified as the 20 th percentile in gender- and height-adjusted gait speed during a 4-m walk test using previous population-based thresholds. 1 Exhaustion was classified as responding “some of the time” or “most of the time” to two questions from the 11-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression (CES-D) scale 20, 21 : “I felt everything I did was an effort” and “I could not get ‘going’.” Weakness was classified as the 20 th percentile in gender- and BMI-specific grip strength based on population-based cut points. 1 Low physical activity was classified as the 20 th percentile in gender-specific Baecke leisure sport activity index.…”

Background Frail individuals are at increased risk for poor outcomes, including adverse drug events. Kidney function is often compromised in frailty and is a key consideration in medication choice and dosing; however, creatinine-based measures of kidney function may be biased in frail individuals. Study Design Observational study. Setting & Participants 4,987 community-dwelling older men and women with complete data who participated in visit 5 of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (2011–2013). Predictor Kidney measures included glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated using serum creatinine (eGFRcr) and serum cystatin C (eGFRcys) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). Outcomes Frailty, defined using established criteria of 3 or more frailty characteristics (weight loss, slowness, exhaustion, weakness, and low physical activity). Results In total, 341 participants (7%) were classified as frail, 1475 (30%) had eGFRcr <60 ml/min/1.73 m2, 2480 (50%) had eGFRcys <60 ml/min/1.73 m2, and 1006 (20%) had albuminuria ≥30 mg/g. Among frail participants, prevalences of eGFRcr and eGFRcys <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were 45% and 77%, respectively. Adjusted for covariates, frailty showed a moderate association with eGFRcr and a strong association with eGFRcys and ACR. Frail individuals with eGFRcr 60–<75 ml/min/1.73 m2 were frequently reclassified to lower eGFR categories using eGFRcys (49% to 45–<60, 32% to 30–<45, and 3% to <30 ml/min/1.73 m2). Hyperpolypharmacy (taking ≥10 classes of medications) was more common in frail individuals (54% vs 38% of non-frail), including classes requiring kidney clearance (e.g., digoxin) and associated with falls and subsequent complications (e.g., hypnotic/sedatives, anticoagulants). Limitations Cross-sectional study design. Conclusions Frail individuals had a high prevalence of reduce kidney function, with large discrepancies when reduced kidney function was classified by eGFRcys versus eGFRcr. Given the substantial medication burden and uncertainty in CKD classification, confirmation of kidney function with alternative biomarkers may be warranted to ensure careful prescribing practices in this vulnerable population.
