The effect of parathyroidectomy on quality of life in primary hyperparathyroidism: evaluation with using sf-36 and phpqol questionnaire

Abstract

Quality of life (QoL) typically improves with a parathyroidectomy (PTx) in cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but the effect of surgery on QoL is not yet fully understood. This study evaluated the impact of PTx on health-related QoL (HRQoL). Patients who underwent PTx for PHPT between January 2016 and December 2019 were asked to complete the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Primary Hyperparathyroidism Quality of Life (PHPQoL) questionnaire before surgery and 1 year later. A 5-point Likert scale was used: negative responses received a lower score and positive responses scored high. Forty-one of 50 patients completed the questionnaires before and 12 months after the surgery. The median patient age was 64 years (min-max: 32-83 years). In the study group, 33 were female, and 8 were male. The SF-36 results indicated that significant improvements had been observed in all 8 domains a year after surgery, particularly in the physical functioning and role, general health, energy, and mental health scales. The PHPQoL scores also improved significantly after PTx (p < 0.05). The improvement in the physical and mental health components was 50% and 76%, respectively. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that PTx for PHPT improved QoL.

Clinical Observation on the Effect of Systematic Nursing Intervention on Cognitive Function, Life Activity Ability, and Quality of Life of Senile Dementia Patients

“…Preventing dementia patients from interrupting rehabilitation training during hospitalization after discharge will affect the therapeutic effects. erefore, patients with senile dementia need continuous and systematic care to improve their quality of life [20,21]. After nursing intervention, the Barthel index score and SF-36 score of the two groups were higher than those before nursing intervention, proving that simple nursing could improve the activities of daily living of patients with senile dementia.…”

Quality of life in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism after surgery

“…Опубликованные данные демонстрируют положительную динамику показателей качества жизни у больных ПГПТ в разные сроки после хирургического лечения [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Для оценки качества жизни в данных работах авторы использовали как общие опросники качества жизни (SF-36, EQ-5D, 15-D), так и специальные опросники для больных ПГПТ (PHPQoL, PAS).…”

“…Перечень наиболее актуальных задач, решаемых в ходе данных исследований, включает, помимо анализа степени восстановления разных аспектов функционирования после операции, изучение закономерностей изменения качества жизни в разные сроки после хирургического лечения, в том числе у пациентов с малосимптомным течением болезни и с манифестной формой ПГПТ, а также с разной степенью гиперкальциемии [11,13,14]. Отдельные исследования проведены по определению предикторов улучшения качества жизни у больных после операции [10][11][12]. Обращают внимание результаты рандомизированных исследований, свидетельствующие об улучшении качества жизни пациентов с бессимптомным ПГПТ после хирургического лечения [1, 5,6].…”

Patients’ life quality during ureterorenoscopy, ureterorenoscopy plus JJ insertion and shock wave lithotripsy in the management of distal ureteral stone: a prospective clinical study

“…The SF-36 is a self-reported questionnaire to evaluate physical functioning and well-being [6]. The survey contains three domains about physical functioning, three domains about emotional functioning, one domain related to pain, and one domain associated with general health.…”
