“…Our results are consistent with the study of HRQoL in other cohorts with chronic diseases 17–19. We observed similar associations between income and mental and physical components of the SF-12 as that identified in cohorts with diabetes or a history of stroke 20 21…”

“…However, the AFEQT provides information regarding AF-specific HRQoL measures, and we observed a graded relation such that decreased income was associated with lower HRQoL as quantified with AF-specific measures. We additionally note that the magnitude of changes in SF-12 components was similar in our study as that observed in cohorts with diabetes or a history of stroke 20 21…”

ObjectiveHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a patient-centred benchmark promoted by clinical guidelines in atrial fibrillation (AF). Income is associated with health outcomes, but how income effects HRQoL in AF has limited investigation.MethodsWe enrolled a convenience cohort with AF receiving care at a regional healthcare system and assessed demographics, medical history, AF treatment, income, education and health literacy. We defined income as a categorical variable (<$20 000; $20 000–$49 999; $50 000–$99 999; >$100 000). We used two complementary HRQoL measures: (1) the atrial fibrillation effect on quality of life (AFEQT), measuring composite and domain scores (daily activity, symptoms, treatment concerns, treatment satisfaction; range 0–100); (2) the 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12), measuring general HRQoL with physical and mental health domains (range 0–100). We related income to HRQoL and adjusted for relevant covariates.ResultsIn 295 individuals with AF (age 71±10, 40% women), we observed significant differences in HRQoL by income. Higher mean composite AFEQT scores were observed for higher income groups: participants with income <$20 000 had the lowest HRQoL (n=35, 68.2±21.4), and those with income >$100 000 had the highest HRQoL (n=64, 81.9±17.0; p=0.04). We also observed a significant difference by income in the AFEQT daily activity domain (p=0.02). Lower income was also associated with lower HRQoL in the mental health composite score of the SF-12 (59.7±21.5, income <$20 000 vs 79.3±16.3, income >$100 000; p<0.01).ConclusionWe determined that income was associated with HRQoL in a cohort with prevalent AF. Given the marked differences, we consider income as essential for understanding patient-centred outcomes in AF.

Purpose: The Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) implemented at Puskesmas with the concept of cost effective and efficient health services in the National Health Insurance (JKN). Prolanis intended for participants who suffer from chronic diseases to achieve optimal Quality of Life (QoL). Therefore, aims this study to assess the effectiveness of Prolanis services in improving the quality of life of JKN participants in Banyuasin District. Methodology: This study using a cross sectional design, data was taken in 2018. Population is people who suffer from chronic diseases (type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension). Sample was pre-elderly dan elderly as Puskesmas visitors in Banyuasin District was chosen by proportional random sampling (n=250 people). Data collection used the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire through direct interviews with respondents. Data analysis using bivariate and multivariate analysis. Main Findings: The respondents were most underage of 60 years (participants of 63.4% and non-participants of 74.1%). Most of respondents had moderate exercise habits (participants of 59.9% and non-participants of 51.9%), among others: walking, jogging, cycling, or other sports. Body Mass Index in normal category (participants of 62.0% and non-participants of 64.8%). It's known that Prolanis participants (61.3%) and non-participants (53.7%) have majority perception of a good QoL. Respondents who are willing to become Prolanis participants are around 142 people (56.8%). Application: The Puskesmas can improve socialization and motivation for participants to use Prolanis services, and to increase the frequency of gymnastic club activities continuously so that there are many time choices. Novelty: Participants who used Prolanis services more often, will have a higher QoL score. Respondents who visited Prolanis services 3-4 times had a tendency to be 1.3 times more likely to have a good perception of QoL (RR:1.33; CI95%:0.71-2.49).

“…In the present study, women are characterised in all three SF-12 indices by having lower scores than men. The relationship between female sex and diminished HRQoL was confirmed by numerous authors [2,22,23,28,34] and opposing studies are scarce [27]. Some population-based studies have shown that people with diabetes have a lower educational level and lower-income than other patients [35,36].…”

“…The shortest version (SF-12) proved to give virtually identical summary scores (PCS, MCS) as SF-36 [21]. SF-12 was successfully used in population-based studies and cross-sectional studies of diabetes [22,23,24,25,26,27,28].…”

IntroductionTo compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in subjects with and without self-reported diabetes in a representative sample of the Polish general adult population.Material and methodsMembers of the general Polish population, selected with multi-stage stratified sampling, filled in the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire and answered a question about the diagnosis of diabetes. We estimated four types of outcomes: eight domain scores, physical component (PCS-12) and mental component (MCS-12) summaries, and a measure of overall health status weighted according to societal health preferences – SF-6D. We used multiple linear regression to examine the associations of sociodemographic characteristics with SF-12 summary indices.ResultsAmong 2938 respondents with complete SF-12 data, the prevalence of self-reported diabetes amounted to 8.5% (95%CI 7.5-9.6). Respondents with diabetes differed significantly from non-diabetic subjects in all SF-12 dimensions, with the most significant differences in physical functioning, general health, role physical and bodily pain (differences of means 31.9, 24.9, 24.1 and 22.3 points, respectively). Analysis across age groups showed that diabetes was associated with a mean decrease in PCS-12 and MCS-12 by 4.6 and 1.4 points, respectively. Female sex, advanced age, low education levels and treatment with insulin were independently associated with the impaired physical health of respondents with diabetes.ConclusionsWe provided a consistent description of HRQoL, measured using the SF-12 questionnaire, in subjects with self-reported diabetes and respondents without diabetes in a nationally representative sample of Polish adults. Identifying factors independently associated with worse HRQoL in respondents with diabetes may help healthcare providers target intervention programs more effectively.
