“…It includes eight subscales measuring "general health," "physical functioning," "role-physical," 'bodily pain,' "social functioning," "role-emotional," "mental health," and "vitality." Scores for each subscale range from 0 to 100 (best; Perneger, Leplège, Etter, & Rougemont, 1995). The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) is a reliable and valid brief 10-item questionnaire measuring FM impact on, among others, physical function, fatigue, or mood, with lower scores indicating less negative impact (Burckhardt, Clark, & Bennett, 1991;Perrot et al, 2003).…”

Objective: Fibromyalgia (FM) has been related to biochemical alterations, central pain sensitization and psychological distress. Among genetic and environmental hypotheses, a role was suggested for catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT), a modulator in the metabolism of monoaminergic neurotransmitters. Method: This study compared the COMT Val158Met enzyme polymorphism (rs4680) of 198 FM patients to 99 pain-free controls. Psychological and functional aspects were assessed through investigating anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, perceived health, and functional status. Results: The distribution of the COMT Val158Met polymorphism was similar in FM and controls. Out of 198 patients, 137 were able to stop medication before evaluation. In these patients, the COMT Val158Met genotype was associated with specific psychological profiles. The Met/Met subgroup scored systematically worse on all psychological and functional variables. All variables displayed a "genotype-trend effect" with the Met/Met and Val/Val subgroups at the two ends of the scores. Genotypes distribution in the 61 patients unable to stop medication was significantly different from that of patients able to stop medication and controls (p ϭ .002 and p ϭ .018, respectively) with an increase in the proportion of the Met/Met genotype associated to the lowest COMT activity. These results suggest a possible role of COMT Val158Met polymorphism in the psychological distress observed in FM. Conclusions: The association of COMT genotype with psychological distress may be of importance as identifying subgroups is a challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia patients. This association may contribute to open new perspectives into the understanding of the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia and stress-related genes.

“…The HAD is a selfadministered rating scale consisting of two subscales, one scoring for anxiety and one for depression, each containing seven items on a 4-point Likert scale (range 0-3). HRQL was measured using the French validated version of the SF-36 [24]. The SF-36 is a self-administered generic questionnaire that assesses health status as well as the subjective perception of limitation in function and health by analysing eight dimensions: physical functioning, social functioning, physical role, emotional role, general health, mental health, vitality, and body pain.…”

Determinants of altered quality of life in patients with sleep-related breathing disorders. E. Sforza, J.P. Janssens, T. Rochat, V. Ibanez. #ERS Journals Ltd 2003. ABSTRACT: Recent reports have suggested that altered quality of life and well-being are reported by patients with sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD). There seems to be no data available in the literature on factors underlying these behavioural consequences. In this study, health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores were examined in SRBD patients in order to establish which factors are implicated in these disturbances.The study group consisted of 130 patients: 49 snorers and 81 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. The Medical Outcome Survey Short Form-36 questionnaire was administered the morning after the sleep study and scores for the eight dimension scores were obtained. Patient9s data were compared to normative sex-and age-matched data.In comparison with normal values, scores for all HRQL dimensions were decreased in SRBD patients, with a greater impact on subscores for "vitality", "physical role", "social functioning", "mental health" and "role emotional" dimensions. While impairment in physical function was mostly influenced by sleep stage and obesity, subjective daytime sleepiness mainly affected the other dimensions.The authors conclude that the altered health-related quality of life of sleep-related breathing disorder patients is a multifactorial phenomenon depending on the interaction of sleep stages, daytime sleepiness and obesity, with no significant contribution of sleep fragmentation, hypoxaemia and apnoea recurrence. Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) are common disorders, which affect o2-4% of the general population and are characterised by repetitive pharyngeal collapse during sleep, inducing sleep fragmentation and nocturnal hypoxaemia. These two factors have been suggested as causal factors of the excessive daytime sleepiness and neuropsychological and cognitive disturbances affecting the daytime functioning of these patients. Several studies have demonstrated that a large number of patients with SRBD may also have altered health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores, using either generic questionnaires, such as the Nottingham Health Profile [1,2] or the Medical Outcome Survey Short Form (SF)-36 [3], or disease-specific questionnaires, such as the Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life [4,5]. These all showed impairment more frequently in vitality and social functioning [6]. Despite the frequent association between SRBD and altered daily functioning and well-being [7,8], and the importance of altered quality of life in SRBD [6], no data are available in the literature concerning the mechanisms underlying these psychological disturbances. This could be due, at least in part, to the fact that quality of life scores are not routinely used by clinicians to detect the impact of the sleep disorder on the well-being of their patients [9] and also to the difficulty in defining which parameters better reflect a clinically meaning...

“…Devido ao crescente número de ensaios clínicos multicêntricos criou-se a necessidade de se desenvolver medidas delineadas especificamente para utilização em países cujo idioma não seja o inglês, assim como para populações de imigrantes que adotam essa língua, já que, nessas duas situações, diferenças culturais importantes podem estar presentes (Ciconelli, 1997). Entre as melhores opções de instrumentos está o Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36), que foi criado com a finalidade de ser um questionário genérico de avaliação da QV relacionada à saúde, de fácil administração e compreensão, porém sem ser tão extenso como os anteriores Bullinger, 1995;Ciconelli, 1997;Perneger et al, 1995;Sullivan et al, 1995;Ware et al, 1993;Ware e Gandek, 1994;. O SF-36 tem sido administrado com sucesso a populações geral e específicas Hayes et al, 1995;Jenkinson et al, 1993;McHorney et al, 1992;.…”

Resultados parciais de uma tese de pós-doutoramento defendida no IMM/FML. AbstractObjective: To evaluate the Brazilian road truck drivers' quality of life. Methods: The research method used was descriptive-exploratory, comparative and cross-sectional. The assessment instruments used were: a demographic questionnaire; the generic quality of life questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36). The total population studied was 206 road truck drivers active in the Brazilian federal roads. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t test, the means comparison by variance analysis, qui-square (χ 2 ) contingency analysis, the Pearson simple correlation analysis, and the Fisher exact test. The significance level was 5%. Results: The drivers showed better scores on physical (p < 0.0001), vitality (p = 0.0002) and social function (p < 0.0001) sub-scales. There was no significant difference between physical function, general health and emotional aspects. Furthermore sleep duration reduction, too early awakenings and prolonged driving affected negatively the SF-36 scores. Conclusion: According to SF-36 scores, the truck drivers assessed in this study showed the best quality of life predictors for physical function, vitality and social function. No significant differences were found in terms of physical function, general health and emotional aspects.
