“…The most studied condition was diabetes mellitus (n=4), 23–26 followed by musculoskeletal disorders, back pain, and injuries (n=3). 27–29 The remaining articles focused either on a specific condition, such as urinary tract infections, 30 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 31 or multiple sclerosis; 32 on a treatment, such as teriparatide, 33 warfarin, or apixaban; 34 or on a nonspecific condition. 35 For all the reviewed studies, only one study reported the Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.72, which could indicate an acceptable reliability and an opportunity for enhancement.…”

Patients' quality of life (QoL) and reported outcomes are critical indicators of the burden of a disease and the benefits of healthcare intervention. This systematic review explores publications that have adapted the EQ-5D for use with a population living in Saudi Arabia. The review of the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Wiley's Database, EBSCO, and ClinicalTrials.gov was conducted on December 1, 2020. The search strategy was adapted from the SPIDER search tool, and the included articles were classified by author, year of publication, region, disease of interest, sample size, type of EQ-5D, and format. Level of EQ-5D was classified as either 3L or 5L. Thirteen articles met the search inclusion criteria. The earliest publication was conducted in 2015 and the latest in 2020. These studies were conducted in four Saudi administrative regions, and multiple conditions or treatments were studied, the most studied condition being diabetes mellitus, followed by musculoskeletal disorders, back pain, and injuries. This systematic review article finds that the EQ-5D has been well adapted in the KSA. However, continued work is needed to investigate the quality of life for major conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Moreover, QoL research is lacking in certain regions, such as southern and northern Saudi Arabia. Despite the successful application and validation of the EQ-5D, a local QoL tool is needed to capture the unique context of patients within the healthcare system in the Middle East.

“…Among cardiovascular patients, EFA favored the 2-factor model for the PSS 10 validation. In literature, mixed findings are evident regarding CFA of the PSS10 whereby some of the studies showed the 2-factor model [14,15], a 1-Factor model [15,16] and bifactor model [17][18][19] but none of them were performed among cardiovascular patients. Absence of the floor and ceiling effects further confirmed the psychometric validation of the PSS-10 among cardiovascular patients [19,20].…”

Objective: The objective of the current study was to assess the psychometric characteristics of Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) in cardiovascular patients. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was performed in cardiovascular patients using the PSS-10. Sociodemographic and patients reported clinical data were collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were more male patients (n=212) than the female patients (n=150) in total of 362 studied patients. No major problems regarding internal consistency, factorial validity, convergent validity and floor and ceiling effect were observed. Conclusion: The present study confirmed the psychometric characteristics of PSS-10 in cardiovascular patients.

“…Patients on warfarin therapy require routine monitoring which may include frequent clinic visits. Additionally, patients on warfarin may require dietary changes to avoid certain food-drug interactions [47]. In sum, these requirements of warfarin therapy may be burdensome to patients resulting in poor of AFQoL [47,48].…”

Background. Though previous research has assessed sociodemographic, clinical and geriatric factors associated with poor atrial fibrillation-related quality of life (AFQoL); few studies have examined a battery of geriatric factors. The objective of this study is to describe eight geriatric factors, as well as the sociodemographic and clinical factors, associated with poor AFQoL in older adults with atrial fibrillation. Methods. Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a prospective cohort study of participants aged 65 + with high stroke risk and atrial fibrillation. AFQoL was measured using the validated Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (score 0-100) and categorized as poor (< 80) or good (80–100). Chi-square and t-tests were used to evaluate differences in factors across poor AFQoL and significant characteristics (p < 0.05) were entered into a multivariate logistic regression models to identify variables independently related to poor AFQoL. Results. Of 1,244 participants (mean age 75.5 [standard deviations: 7.1] years, 49% female), 42% reported poor AFQoL. Having a fall in the past 6 months, pre/frail & frailty, depression, anxiety, social isolation, vision impairment, oral anticoagulant therapy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and taking more than 12 medications daily were associated with higher odds of poor AFQoL. Being married and having a college education were associated with a lower odds of poor AFQoL. Conclusions. More than 4 out 10 older adults with AF reported poor AFQoL. Geriatric characteristics significantly associated with higher odds of reporting poor AFQoL include falls in the past 6 months, frailty, elevated depressive symptoms, elevated symptoms of anxiety, social isolation and vision impairment. Findings from this study may help clinicians screen for patients with poor AFQoL who could benefit from tailored management to ensure the delivery of patient-centered care and improved well-being among older adults with atrial fibrillation.
