Purpose: Adults with arthritis experience poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL), though research often focuses on single HRQOL outcomes or summary scores. We aimed to identify HRQOL profiles in adults with different arthritis types and determine risk and protective factors.
Methods: Data including PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1 and PROMIS Short Form v2.0 - Emotional Support 4a were collected through a national foundation's online survey of adults with arthritis in the U.S. We used latent profile analysis (LPA) to characterize the heterogeneity in arthritis patients by clustering them into HRQOL profiles, based on statistical model fit and clinical interpretability. We fit a multinomial logistic regression model with HRQOL profile assignment as the outcome to determine associations with protective and risk factors.
Results: We included 25,305 adults with arthritis. The LPA results favored a five-HRQOL profile solution (entropy = 0.83). While some profiles displayed better HRQOL in some domains, 93% of the sample displayed impacted pain and physical functioning. One profile (20%) displayed mean T-scores nearly 2 standard deviations below the population mean. Despite poor physical HRQOL outcomes, one profile (10%) displayed average mental health. All demographic and clinical factors contributed significantly to the model, including risk factors (arthritis types, work status) and protective factors (more emotional support, starting exercise).
Conclusion: We identified profiles with consistently impacted HRQOL in arthritis, though one displayed average mental health functioning despite poor physical functioning. These results highlight the value of considering the patient's HRQOL experience alongside treatment options, and the potentially positive impact of non-pharmacological interventions.

Purpose: To develop the Norwegian value set for the EQ-5D-5L based on interviews with a representative sample of the Norwegian adult population.
Methods: Random and quota sampling were used to recruit the sample of adults (age> 18 years) representative of the Norwegian general population. Data collection followed EQ-VT 2.1 undertaken before and after the COVID-19 pandemic from November 2019 to December 2022, using PC-assisted and video conferencing interviews, respectively. Each respondent valued 10 health states using composite time trade-off (cTTO) and 7 health states using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). Different statistical models were assessed for logical consistency and predictive accuracy using cTTO and DCE data alone or in combination as hybrid models.
Results: Of the 1,321 respondents, 1,237 met inclusion criteria. All statistical models demonstrated logical consistency. The weighted hybrid model combining both cTTOand DCE data was preferred and had the highest predictive accuracy. Predicted values ranged from -0.453 to 1, and the dimension of anxiety/depression was the most highly valued by respondents, followed by pain/discomfort, self-care, mobility, and usual activities. These findings are not dissimilar to those for most Western European countries, and regression coefficients are closest to those for other Scandinavian countries.
Conclusion: This study provides the Norwegian value set for the EQ-5D-5L based on health state values obtained from members of the adult general population in Norway. This is an important contribution to economic evaluation and the broader application ofthe EQ-5D-5L in Norway including clinical and health services research, and quality measurement.

Purpose: Assessing socioeconomic status (SES), mental health, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young children is crucial for making informed health care decisions and identifying areas of intervention. The present study aimed to investigate potential associations between SES, mental health, and HRQoL in 5-7-year-old children.
Method: The present study included mother-reported health assessments for 621 children aged 5-7 years in Grade 1 collected between 2019 and 2023 as part of the Starting Right™ project. Online questionnaires were used to support public health nurses in assessing children's health status. HRQoL (KIDSCREEN-27, 5 subscales) and mental health [Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), 4 subscales] were assessed. Sociodemographic characteristics, sex, maternal education, and income were obtained from Statistics Norway. The data were analyzed using multiple robust regression.
Results: Mother-reported mean scores for the KIDSCREEN-27 were within the normal range compared with European norms (8-11 years). However, for each KIDSCREEN-27 dimension, there were individuals whose mothers reported scores that were substantially lower than average. Having mental health problems, defined as being in the 80th and 90th percentiles of the SDQ Total problem score, was associated with 2.1-10.7-point lower KIDSCREEN-27 scores (p < 0.001-0.021), which was most noticeable in the KIDSCREEN-27 school environment subscale. Weak but significant positive associations were found between SES and HRQoL.
Conclusion: Our results provide important insights into the associations between SES, mental health, and HRQoL in young children. Given the strong association between mental health problems and HRQoL in Grade 1 children, the assessment of both is essential, so that early interventions, an improved caring environment, and nurturing support can be initiated.

Purpose: The aim was to compare quality of life (QoL) of patients with testosterone recovery (TR) to patients without TR after the completion of either 18- or 36-month androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer.
Methods: From a Phase III trial, we selected all 630 randomised patients with testosterone measured at baseline (during screening, before randomisation) and follow-up and who completed baseline, 6-month and, at least, one further QoL questionnaire in follow-up (EORTC 30 - PR25). We estimated means and standard deviation of items and scales for each group at each time point. We analyzed items and scales scores with general linear model with repeated measures to evaluate changes between patients with or without TR to a normal level. p-values were adjusted for multiple comparisons with Benjamini-Hochberg's false discovery rate procedure (padj). A padj < 0.05 was considered significant and mean differences of 10 points or more considered clinically relevant.
Results: 494 patients retained for analysis (median follow-up 16.2 years). A significantly higher number of patients (177/314 vs 79/180, p = 0.008) recovered a normal testosterone level in a significantly shorter time [median (IQR): 3.06 (2.55-3.65) vs 5.00 years (4.5-5.96), p < 0.001] in the 18- vs the 36-month cohort. Patients with TR had a significantly better QoL: 37/55 items and 14/21 scales (padj<0.05) in the 18-month and 25/55 items and 13/21 scales in the 36-month cohort. Moreover, 9 items and one scale reached clinical relevance in the 18-month cohort and 7 items and one scale in the 36-month cohort.
Conclusions: TR is associated with significant regaining in QoL. A faster and significantly higher TR is seen in the shorter ADT schedule.
目的:旨在比较睾酮恢复期(TR)患者和非睾酮恢复期(TR)患者在完成18个月或36个月的前列腺癌雄激素剥夺疗法(ADT)后的生活质量(QoL):从一项 III 期试验中,我们选取了所有 630 名随机患者,这些患者在基线(筛查期间、随机化之前)和随访期间均进行了睾酮测定,并完成了基线、6 个月和至少一次随访的 QoL 问卷调查(EORTC 30 - PR25)。我们估算了各组在每个时间点的项目和量表的平均值和标准偏差。我们采用重复测量的一般线性模型对项目和量表得分进行分析,以评估有无TR的患者之间的变化是否达到正常水平。padj<0.05被认为具有显著性,10点或以上的平均差异被认为具有临床相关性:保留 494 例患者进行分析(中位随访 16.2 年)。更多患者(177/314 vs 79/180,p = 0.008)在更短的时间内恢复了正常的睾酮水平[中位数(IQR):3.06(2.55-3.65) vs 5.00年(4.5-5.96),p adj结论:TR与QoL的显著恢复有关。在较短的 ADT 计划中,TR 速度更快,且明显更高。

Purpose: Social factors are associated with mental health and wellbeing. However, few studies have examined genetic and environmental influences on social factors themselves, limiting current understanding of influences on aspects of the social environment. Most studies which have identified links between social factors and mental health are also limited by the possible influence of unmeasured genetic and environmental confounding. In this study, we investigated the genetic and environmental underpinnings of multiple social factors (relationship satisfaction, loneliness, attachment, trust, relationship disruptions), and their associations with life satisfaction measured concurrently and six years later, after accounting for shared genetic and environmental confounding.
Methods: Data from a population-based sample of adult twins (N = 1987) and two measurement timepoints were used for the primary analyses. We used multivariate Cholesky models to estimate genetic and environmental influences across five social factors. Subsequently, we conducted co-twin control analyses to examine associations between social factors and wellbeing after controlling for shared genetic and environmental confounding.
Results: Heritability estimates for the social factors ranged from 24 to 42%. Genetic correlations across social factors were substantial, indicative of considerable genetic overlap. Associations between wellbeing and relationship satisfaction, loneliness, anxious and avoidant attachment, trust, and disruptions in relationships in the past year were attenuated in co-twin control analyses but remained statistically significant. Relationship satisfaction, loneliness, and attachment avoidance were also associated with wellbeing measured six years later in estimates which controlled for shared genetic and environmental confounding.
Conclusion: Our findings provide evidence that multiple social factors are associated with wellbeing after accounting for potential confounding by shared genetic and/or environmental factors. These findings highlight the importance of multiple aspects of the social environment for wellbeing in older adulthood. Future studies should examine the directionality in associations between social factors and mental health and assess these relationships beyond older adulthood.

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a chronic condition which is associated with extreme daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, and other comorbidities and, hence, decreased quality of life (QoL). EQ-5D is one of the most widely used preference-based measures of QoL in patients with different diseases worldwide. This study aims to review the EQ-5D utility value of OSA across primary studies and perform a meta-analysis to derive pooled utility scores for OSA.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the EQ-5D scores of OSA patients adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Studies reporting EQ-5D utility scores among adult OSA patients were systematically searched across PubMed-Medline, Scopus, and Embase. Selected studies were systematically reviewed and we have assessed the studies for their quality. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effect model with subgroup analysis to explore heterogeneity.
Results: The search yielded 9,121 articles, of which twenty-eight studies were included in the synthesis. The pooled mean EQ-5D utility score was 0.73 (0.69 to 0.78) with high heterogeneity (I2 = 99.6%). The pooled EQ-5D VAS score was 67.14 (63.97 to 70.32) with high heterogeneity (I2 = 87.04%). Subgroup analyses indicated significant variability in utility scores across different countries, age groups, and disease severities. The variation of utility values for OSA was influenced by the characteristics of patients, the living environment, and the EQ-5D value set.
Conclusion: The synthesis revealed that the QoL is significantly lower in OSA, and the aggregated quantitative estimates of EQ-5D utility scores are essential inputs for economic evaluations.
背景:阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一种慢性疾病,与白天极度嗜睡、认知障碍和其他合并症有关,因此会降低生活质量(QoL)。EQ-5D 是全球最广泛使用的基于偏好的 QoL 测量方法之一,适用于不同疾病的患者。本研究旨在回顾主要研究中有关 OSA 的 EQ-5D 实用价值,并进行荟萃分析以得出 OSA 的集合实用价值得分:方法:根据PRISMA指南,对OSA患者的EQ-5D评分进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。我们在PubMed-Medline、Scopus和Embase中系统检索了报告成年OSA患者EQ-5D效用评分的研究。我们对所选研究进行了系统审查,并对研究质量进行了评估。采用随机效应模型进行了元分析,并进行了亚组分析以探讨异质性:结果:搜索结果显示有 9,121 篇文章,其中 28 项研究被纳入综合分析。汇总的 EQ-5D 实用性平均得分为 0.73(0.69 至 0.78),异质性较高(I2 = 99.6%)。汇总的 EQ-5D VAS 得分为 67.14(63.97 至 70.32),异质性较高(I2 = 87.04%)。亚组分析表明,不同国家、年龄组和疾病严重程度的效用值存在显著差异。OSA效用值的变化受患者特征、生活环境和EQ-5D值集的影响:综述显示,OSA 患者的 QoL 明显较低,EQ-5D 实用性评分的综合定量估计值是经济评估的重要输入。

Purpose: Many people living with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) experience poor sleep, which is associated with diminished overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We quantified associations between sleep quality and HRQoL domains and examined the extent to which other MS symptoms could account for these associations.
Methods: In this cross-sectional survey of 1,717 Australians with MS, we used Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL) 8D and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess HRQoL and sleep quality, respectively. Total, direct, and indirect effects of sleep quality on HRQoL domains were determined using mediation regression analysis.
Results: Poor sleep quality was significantly associated with all domains of HRQoL, with strongest associations seen for mental health (β=-0.08) and pain (β=-0.11), and weaker associations for independent living (β=-0.05) and senses (β=-0.03). Poor sleep quality had the largest direct effect on mental health (60.8%), happiness (48.7%), and pain (49.7%). MS symptom clusters mostly contributing to indirect effects were "feelings of anxiety and depression" for psychosocial, and "pain and sensory symptoms" for physical HRQoL super dimensions.
Conclusion: Improving sleep could lead to substantial improvements in all HRQoL domains and the improvement in HRQoL could be partially achieved through indirect improvements in sleep on MS symptoms.

Purpose: To provide further evidence on the psychometric properties of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) in moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD), and to determine thresholds for meaningful improvement in fatigue.
Methods: The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item patient-reported outcome measure (range, 0-52) assessing fatigue over the previous week. Using pooled data from the Phase 3 VIVID-1 study of moderately to severely active CD, psychometric properties of FACIT-Fatigue were evaluated up to Week 52. The Patient Global Rating of Severity (PGRS) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) were used as primary anchors to estimate the FACIT-Fatigue score change representing meaningful improvement.
Results: Psychometric analyses included 1065 adults. The FACIT-Fatigue demonstrated good internal consistency, and correlations between individual items and the total score were moderate to strong. The FACIT-Fatigue score showed moderate to strong correlations with other patient-reported assessments and weak correlations with endoscopic/laboratory assessments. The FACIT-Fatigue differentiated between distinct groups of participants varying in disease severity, quality of life, and fatigue based on PGRS and other assessments. FACIT-Fatigue improvements during the study differed significantly between most PGRS change and PGIC categories. Anchor-based estimates suggested a 6-9-point increase in the FACIT-Fatigue total score as meaningful improvement.
Conclusions: The FACIT-Fatigue demonstrated strong psychometric properties in the VIVID-1 population of adults with moderately to severely active CD and determined a FACIT-Fatigue score change threshold representing meaningful improvement.

Purpose: The psychometric properties of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS-4D), an oral health-related quality-of-life tool for children, and EuroQol 5D-Young (EQ-5D-Y), a commonly used generic quality-of-life tool for children, were compared across a clinical severity index to determine which tool is better for measuring oral health-related quality of life in children.
Methods: Delayed and filled surfaces score (dfs) was calculated for under six-year-old children at the recruitment and one year later. ECOHIS-4D and EQ-5D were filled out on both occasions. The following properties were examined: (i) Content validity by comparing mean utility values using the Wilcoxson Signed Rank Test and Bland Altman Test, (ii) Construct validity (ability to discriminate between groups of different clinical severity) by examining effect size between severity groups (iii) Responsiveness (for changes in health status) using floor and ceiling effect, standard response mean and linear regression (iv) Correlation between the utilities and dfs.
Results: Respectively, 287 and 189 children were examined at the baseline and follow-up. Mean utility estimates from the tools were significantly different. All items of EQ-5D-Y showed high ceiling effects compared to items of ECOHIS-4D. Only the utility scores of ECOHIS-4D showed a significant association with the dfs score (β=-0.003, 95%CI=-0.004 to -0.002) in the linear regression models. Utility values form ECOHIS-4D, but not EQ-5D-Y correlated with the dfs (spearman's r=-0.33, 95%CI -0.43 to -0.23).
Conclusion: ECOHIS-4D performs better than EQ-5D-Y in assessing young children's oral health-related quality of life.
目的:将儿童口腔健康影响量表(ECOHIS-4D)(一种与口腔健康相关的儿童生活质量工具)和EuroQol 5D-Young (EQ-5D-Y)(一种常用的通用儿童生活质量工具)的心理测量特性与临床严重程度指数进行比较,以确定哪种工具更适合测量与口腔健康相关的儿童生活质量:方法:在招募时和一年后计算六岁以下儿童的延迟和充填牙面得分(dfs)。两次均填写 ECOHIS-4D 和 EQ-5D。对以下特性进行了检验:(i) 通过使用 Wilcoxson Signed Rank Test 和 Bland Altman Test 比较平均效用值,检验内容效度;(ii) 通过检验严重程度组之间的效应大小,检验结构效度(区分不同临床严重程度组的能力);(iii) 通过使用最低效应和最高效应、标准响应平均值和线性回归,检验响应度(健康状况的变化);(iv) 效用值和 dfs 之间的相关性:分别有 287 名和 189 名儿童接受了基线和随访检查。两种工具得出的效用估计值平均值存在显著差异。与 ECOHIS-4D 的项目相比,EQ-5D-Y 的所有项目都显示出较高的上限效应。在线性回归模型中,只有 ECOHIS-4D 的效用评分与 dfs 评分有显著关联(β=-0.003,95%CI=-0.004 至-0.002)。ECOHIS-4D的效用值与dfs相关,但EQ-5D-Y与dfs无关(spearman's r=-0.33, 95%CI -0.43 to -0.23):结论:在评估幼儿口腔健康相关生活质量方面,ECOHIS-4D 比 EQ-5D-Y 效果更好。
