“…Women with preoperative Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores below 37.5 and 44.5, respectively, had 80.7% and 84.2% probabilities of seeing their scores improve after surgery, whereas women with preoperative scores above 46.5 and 47.5, respectively, had probabilities of 0% and 10.7% for improving scores. Valentin et al (2017) [81] also used SF-36 preoperative scores for predicting improvement in quality of life following laparoscopic management of minimal endometriosis (n = 167), defining improvement in PCS or MCS subscales as an increase of 5 points. The results of this study led to the establishing of two thresholds for the SF-36 i.e.…”

Systematic review of quality of life measures in patients with endometriosis

ObjectivesEndometriosis and quality of life has been the subject of much research, however, there is little consensus on how best to evaluate quality of life in endometriosis, resulting in many and diverse scales being used. In our study, we aim to identify quality of life scales used in endometriosis, to review their strengths and weaknesses and to establish what would define an ideal scale in the evaluation of endometriosis-related quality of life.Materials and methodsA search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was carried out for publications in English and French for the period from 1980 to February 2017, using the words ‘endometriosis’ and ‘quality of life’. Publications were selected if they reported on quality of life in patients with endometriosis and specified use of a quality of life scale. A quantitative and a qualitative analysis of each scale was performed in order to establish the strengths and weaknesses for each scale (systematic registration number: PROSPERO 2014: CRD42014014210).ResultsA total of 1538 articles publications were initially identified. After exclusion of duplicates and application of inclusion criteria, 201 studies were selected for analysis. The SF-36, a generic HRQoL measure, was found to be the most frequently used scale, followed by the EHP-30, a measure specific to endometriosis. Both perform well, when compared with other scales, with scale weaknesses offset by strengths. EHP-5 and EQ-5D also showed to be of good quality. All four were the only scales to report on MCID studied in endometriosis patients.ConclusionFor clinical practice, routine evaluation of HRQOL in women with endometriosis is essential both for health-care providers and patients. Both SF-36 and EHP-30 perform better overall with regard to their strengths and weaknesses when compared to other scales.

“…We also previously suggested that differing patient evolutions in pain and QoL after surgery may be explained by postoperative side effects, complications, disease recurrences and persistent and recurrent pain after surgery [ 18 ]. Recurrence of endometriosis is not uncommon and recurrence of pain is frequent, though the two may not be associated [ 11 , 31 , 32 ]. In addition, even if pain severity does not necessarily correlate with the extent of the disease [ 33 ], pain localization tends to correlate with where lesions are situated [ 33 ].…”

Many studies have shown a global efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for patients with endometriosis in reducing painful symptoms and improving quality of life (QoL) in the short and long-term. The aim of this study was to analyze the different trajectories of long-term evolution in QoL and symptoms following surgical treatment for endometriosis, and to identify corresponding patient profiles. This prospective and multicenter cohort study concerned 962 patients who underwent laparoscopic treatment for endometriosis. QoL was evaluated using the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaire and intensity of pain was reported using a visual analog scale prior to surgery and at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months after surgery. Distinctive trajectories of pain and QoL evolution were identified using group-based trajectory modeling, an approach which gathers individuals into meaningful subgroups with statistically similar trajectories. Pelvic symptom trajectories (models of the evolution of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain intensity over years) correspond to (1) patients with no pain or pain no longer after surgery, (2) patients with the biggest improvement in pain and (3) patients with continued severe pain after surgery. Our study reveals clear trajectories for the progression of symptoms and QoL after surgery that correspond to clusters of patients. This information may serve to complete information obtained from epidemiological methods currently used in selecting patients eligible for surgery.

“…The SF-36 questionnaire used in this study is a standardized questionnaire that is now widely used for both research and clinical purposes, and it has undergone rigorous psychometric evaluation nationally and internationally using classical test theory (CTT) [16][17][18][19][20]. As a general questionnaire, it includes the following eight Fig.…”

Objective: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adult patients who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods: During the perioperative and postoperative period, a standard scale involving eight dimensions was used to analyze the HRQoL of 85 adult patients who underwent thoracic device closure of VSD and 80 healthy adults located locally were randomly selected as the control group in our center. Results: A total of 80 patients' and 80 healthy adults' questionnaires were received with complete feedback. Out of all of the items that were investigated, postoperative patients experienced better feelings in some dimensions than the control group. Postoperative feedback was also better than preoperative feedback in some dimensions. In the comparison of the subgroups of these patients, the scores of the elderly were lower than those of the young in most dimensions. Males had more positive feedback in two aspects ("role-physical" (p = 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.003)), whereas unmarried people seemed to have poor emotional responses ("role-emotional" (p < 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.023)). There was no significant difference in any dimensions except "social functioning" (p < 0.01) between people with different levels of education.Conclusions: Most of the adult patients who underwent thoracic closure of VSD felt that they could lead a normal life. They seemed to have reasonably normal psychosocial responses compared to healthy controls. Many patients even though their HRQoL was better than healthy individuals.
