Predictive value of ODI, SBI and SF-36 in patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation undergoing reoperation / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the predictive value of ODI, SBI and SF-36 in patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation undergoing reoperation.@*METHODS@#The patients of recurrent lumbar disc herniation underwent surgical treatment from June 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Patients were assigned to A, B, C groups according to the excellent, good, poor of clinical efficacy, and divided into training set and test set by 70:30 ratio according to random number table. we use ordered Logistic regression to construct prediction model, and test set to verify the effect of the model and calculate the accuracy of the model.@*RESULTS@#Both ODI and SBI were lower in group A and group B than group C, and the SF-36 scale was significantly higher than group C (<0.05). The predictive efficacy model by ordered Logistic regression construction showed that the ODI coefficient was 0.67, the SF-36 coefficient was -0.43, and the SBI coefficient was 0.52. In the group A with excellent clinical efficacy, the prediction accuracy rate of the model was 80%; in the group B with good clinical efficacy, the prediction accuracy rate was 76.92% and in the group C with poor clinical efficacy, the prediction accuracy rate was 44.44%.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Comprehensive consideration of ODI, SBI and SF-36 to construct a clinical prediction model for patients with recurrent intervertebral disc herniation after surgery can better predict patients' prognosis. It has a value for clinical application.

Quality of life of 151 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective To determine health related quality of life (QOL) of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to identify the factors affecting QOL. Methods One hundred and fifty-one consecutive patients with SLE were separated into different groups according to the type or stage of disease. Health status were measured by 1 health transition (HT) and 8 composite scales of the medical outcomes study short form-36 (SF-36). The mean scores for each subscale of the SF-36 for patients with SLE in China were compared to those of a health population in China and of foreign SLE patients.The effect of patients′age,sex,education level,disease duration,disease activity (assessed by SLEDAI score),and organ damage(assessed by SLICC/ACR DI) and treatment were analyzed. ANOVA, rank sum test and correlation analysis were applied for statistical analysis. Results Patients with SLE had significantly lower HT and mean scores in each subscale of the SF-36 compared to those of a health population in China,while the scores in such subscales as physical functioning (PF), bodily pain (BP), vitality (VT), role-emotional (RE) and mental health (MH) were higher than those of foreign SLE patients. The mean scores of those patients with lupus nephritis and center neural lupus or in active state were lower than those not or those in steady-going. The SLEDAI score and SLICC/ACR DI were the most important elements that affected the QOL in SLE patients and showed obviously negative correlated with one′s scores in SF-36. The glucocorticoid dose of patients was closely negatively correlated with one′s scores. The latter were also associated with age, education level and disease duration. Conclusion The health status of patients with SLE is mainly associated with disease activity,damage and therapy. The SF-36 is a valid instrument for measuring the health related QOL in SLE.

The quality of life and its influential factors in patients with 3 major rheumatic diseases / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective To explore the quality of life (QOL) and its influential factors among patients with 3 major rheumatic diseases. Methods A total of 216 patients with rheumatic diseases (84 patients with systemic lu- pus erythematosus, SLE, 83 with rheumatoid arthritis, RA, and 49 with ankylosing spondylitis, AS) were recruited. The information with regard to their quality of life, sociopsychological factors and the evaluation of disease activity were obtained by using the medical outcomes study short form-36 (SF-36) and clinic documents. Results Patients with rheumatic diseases scored significantly lower with each subscale of SF-36 as compared to those of a healthy popu- lation in China (P
