Abstract

Introduction: Aim of this study was to compare disease activity and QoL between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) under and over age 60. Materials and Method: One hundred-fifteen RA patients under age 60 and 51 RA patients ≥60 age were enrolled to the study.%Disease activity was assessed by DAS 28 score and QoL was evaluated by Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Short-Form 36 (SF-36). Pain, patients' and physicians' global assessment were evaluated by 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS).Results: Ninety (78.2 %) female, 25 (21.7%) male total 115 patients under age 60 with mean age 46.12±9.39 years and 43 (84,3%) female, 8 (15.7%) male total 51 patients over age 60 with a mean age of 66.72±5.18 years sum of 161 RA patients were enrolled to the study. There were statistically significant differences in DAS 28 scores (p=0.036), HAQ (p=0.002), and SF 36-physical health (p=0.034) and SF 36-physical function (p=0.001) scores between groups.Conclusion: RA effects all aspects of QoL, especially the physical scores in the elderly RA patients. During the management of the elderly RA patients, we must be taken in to the consideration have worse QoL and disease activity scores in addition to factors like polypharmacy, comorbidity.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı 60 yaş üstü ve altı romatoid artrit (RA) hastalarında hastalık aktivitesinin ve yaşam kalitesinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 60 yaş altı 115, 60 yaş ve üstü 51 toplam 161 hasta RA'lı hasta alındı. Hastalık aktivitesi DAS 28 skoru ile yaşam kalitesi Genel Sağlık Sorgulaması (HAQ) ve Kısa-Form 36 (SF-36) ile değerlendirildi. Ağrı, hastanın ve doktorun hastalığı genel değerlendirimi 10 cm'lik Görsel Analog Skala (VAS) ölçüldü.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 60 yaş altı 90 (%78,2 ) kadın, 25 (%21,7) erkek hastanın yaş ortalaması 46.12±9.39 yıl (22-59 yıl), altmış yaş üstü 43 (%84.3)'ü kadın, 8 (%15.7)'i erkek 51 hastamızın ise yaş ortalamaları 66.72±5,18 yıl (60-81 yıl) idi. İki grup arasında; DAS 28 skorları (p=0.036), HAQ skorları (p=0,002) ve SF 36 fiziksel sağlık (p=0.034) ve fiziksel fonksiyon (p=0.001) alt gruplarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı.Sonuç: RA yaşam kalitesini her yönü ile etkileyen bir hastalıktır. İleri yaş grubunda RA'li hastalarda yaşam kalitesi özellikle fiziksel yönden daha fazla etkilenmektedir. İleri yaş grubunda olan hastaların tedavileri planlanırken, komorbidite, çoklu ilaç kullanımı ve benzeri durumların yanında, hastalık aktivitesinin daha yüksek ve yaşam kalitesi skorlarının daha kötü olabileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
