Abstract

Purpose: To assess vision related quality of life (VRQoL) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Materials and Methods: Ninety-three patients with DR were included in the study. Turkish version of VFQ (Visual function questionnaire) -25 was used for measuring VRQoL. The effects of age, gender, education, duration of diabetes mellitus (DM), macular edema (ME), HbA1c, comorbidity, medication, visual acuity (VA) and severity of DR on VRQoL were searched. Results: Composite VFQ-25 score was significantly higher in patients who had better education, had a shorter duration of DM and had better VA. Gender, education and comorbidities were significantly associated with some of the subscales. After adjusted for the effect of age, gender, education, severity of DM, comorbidities, VA, HbA1c, laser photocoagulation, ME and medications; VA and HbA1c were significantly associated with composite score. Conclusions: High HbA1c and poor VA is significantly associated with poor VRQoL. From the patients’ perspective, DR also has an effect on general health, mental health and role difficulties.

Özet

Amaç: Diyabetik retinopatili hastalarda görmeye dayalı yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya diyabetik retinopati saptanan 93 hasta dahil edildi. Görmeye dayalı yaşam kalitesinin ölçümünde VFQ-25 (Visual function questionnaire) ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu kullanıldı. Yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim, diyabetes mellitus süresi, makula ödemi, HbA1c, eşlik eden hastalık, ilaç kullanımı, görme keskinliği ve diyabetik retinopati şiddetinin görmeye dayalı yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Bulgular: Eğitim düzeyi ve görme keskinliği yüksek, diyabet süresi kısa olan kişilerde kompozit VFQ-25 skorunun anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu saptandı. Cinsiyet, eğitim ve eşlik eden hastalıkların bazı subgruplarla anlamlı şekilde ilişkili olduğu izlendi. Yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim, diyabetik retinopatinin şiddeti, eşlik eden hastalıklar, görme keskinliği, HbA1c, lazer fotokoagulasyon, makula ödemi ve ilaç kullanımı etkisi düzeltildikten sonra, görme keskinliği ve HbA1c ile kompozit skor arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Sonuç: Yüksek HbA1c ve düşük görme keskinliği, görmeye dayalı yaşam kalitesinde azalma ile ilişkili bulundu. Hastaların perspektifinden bakıldığında, diyabetik retinopatinin genel sağlık, mental sağlık ve rol zorlukları üzerine de etkileri olduğu izlendi.
