要約 目的:The 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire(VFQ-25)で緑内障患者と網膜色素変性症(RP)患者の特徴と生活の質(QOL)を明らかにする。
対象と方法:ロービジョン外来を受診した緑内障患者107例(男性67例,女性40例)とRP患者83例(男性48例,女性35例)を対象とし,患者の特徴とVFQ-25(面接式)を用いてQOLを評価し,比較した。
結果:平均年齢は緑内障患者(67.6±14.2歳)がRP患者(56.1±16.6歳)より有意に高齢であった(p<0.0001)。60歳未満の就労者は緑内障患者(69.7%)とRP患者(70.6%)で同等であった。VFQ-25では総合スコアコンポ7は緑内障患者(36.3±14.4点)がRP患者(46.9±19.2点)より点数が有意に低かった(p=0.0001)。一般的見え方,目の痛み,近見視力による行動,遠見視力による行動,社会生活機能,心の健康,役割機能,自立,色覚の9つの尺度で緑内障患者がRP患者より点数が有意に低かった(p<0.05)。
結論:VFQ-25では一般的健康感,周辺視野,運転の3項目以外で緑内障患者がRP患者に比べ点数が低く,身体的,精神的,社会的なQOLが緑内障患者で低いことが示された。
Abstract Purpose:To report the clinical characteristics and quality of life(QOL)in patients of glaucoma or retinitis pigmentosa(RP).
Cases and Method:This study was made on 107 cases of glaucoma and 83 cases of RP who consulted the low-vision clinic at Inouye Eye Hospital. There were 67 males and 40 females with glaucoma, and 48 males and 35 females with RP. Clinical characteristics and QOL were evaluated by The 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire(VFQ-25).
Results:The age averaged 67.6±14.2 years in glaucoma and 56.1±16.6 years in RP patients. The difference was significant(p<0.0001). Rate of employment was 69.7% in glaucoma patients and 70.6% in RP patients. The total VFQ score(composite 7)was significantly lower in glaucoma patients at 36.3±14.4 than RP patients at 46.9±19.2(p=0.0001). The scores in glaucoma patients were significantly lower in RP patients regarding general vision, ocular pain, near activities, distance activities, social functioning, mental health, role difficulties, dependency, and color vision(p<0.05).
Conclusion:Scores were lower in glaucoma than RP patients regarding all the items except general health, peripheral vision and driving in VFQ-25. Glaucoma patients seemed to have lower QOL regarding physical health, mental health and social life than RP patients.
