| الوصف: | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that limits patients’ daily activities, thereby grossly affecting their health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). A prospective, cross-sectional study was undertaken from April to September 2017 in a tertiary care teaching hospital. A total of 60 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. All information was collected from treatment records and by personal interview with each participant using a case record form. HR-QOL was assessed using the short 40-item version of the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C). Mean symptom, activity and impact-related HR-QOL domain scores were 58.0, 79.3 and 65.1, respectively, with a mean total score of 68.2. Some sociodemographic characteristics, such as age and nutrition, smoking, alcohol intake, and socioeconomic status, significantly affected HR-QOL scores, whereas patient sex, education level, employment status, and dietary habits did not. Clinical variables, such as the duration and severity of the disease, presence of comorbidities and type of COPD medication used, also significantly affected HR-QOL scores. HR-QOL was impaired across all domains in patients with COPD. An increased focus on the potentially more treatable aspects of HR-QOL, along with drug treatment of COPD, is needed. |
