Abstract

Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are frequently under-recognised in chronic conditions with non-specific symptoms, including fatigue. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency with or without anaemia in chronic pain patients, and the association between iron deficiency status, fatigue and health-related quality of life. Eighty-two patients attending chronic pain outpatient appointments were recruited into this cross-sectional study. Iron studies and haemoglobin were determined from venous blood samples. Participants' health-related quality of life was assessed with the 36-item short form survey and fatigue with the functional assessment of chronic illness therapy fatigue scale. Iron deficiency was prevalent in 58.8% of patients and 2.5% met the criteria for iron deficiency anaemia. There was no significant association between iron deficiency status and the functional assessment of chronic illness therapy fatigue scale score or 36-item short form survey domain scores. There was a high prevalence of iron deficiency in this group of chronic pain patients, while the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia was low. There was no statistically significant association found between iron deficiency status and fatigue or quality of life measures.

缺铁性贫血与慢性疼痛关系的横断面研究。
在包括疲劳在内的非特异性症状的慢性病患者中,缺铁和缺铁性贫血往往未得到充分认识。本研究旨在评估慢性疼痛患者缺铁(伴有或不伴有贫血)的患病率,以及缺铁状况、疲劳和与健康相关的生活质量之间的关联。这项横断面研究招募了 82 名慢性疼痛门诊患者。研究人员通过静脉血样本测定了铁的含量和血红蛋白。参与者的健康相关生活质量通过 36 项简表调查进行评估,疲劳则通过慢性病治疗疲劳功能评估量表进行评估。58.8%的患者普遍缺铁,2.5%的患者符合缺铁性贫血的标准。缺铁状态与慢性疾病治疗疲劳功能评估量表得分或36项短表调查领域得分之间没有明显关联。在这组慢性疼痛患者中,缺铁的患病率较高,而缺铁性贫血的患病率较低。缺铁状况与疲劳或生活质量之间没有统计学意义上的关联。
