Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is the most frequent acquired myopathy. The quality of life (QoL) of IIM patients can be influenced by a variety of factors and affect physical, mental, and social aspects. Therefore, the aim of our study is to identify the QoL of IIM patients and its influencing factors. This was a cross-sectional study in the period of January to May 2024 at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia. The QoL of IIM patients was evaluated in relation to demographic factors, clinical phenotypes, subtypes, additional examinations, and the presence of caregivers. Evaluations of QoL and factors contributing to it were carried out using the following instruments: Short-Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue (FACIT–F), Barthel’s Activities of Daily Living (ADL) index, Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7 (GAD–7), and Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9). Fifty-eight patients aged 39.09±13.08 and consisted of 69% females. The mean SF-36 score was 51.07±21.67, with physical domain mean of 42.13±21.68 and mental domain median of 56.00 (2-100). Total and each domain of the SF-36 score were associated with physical limitations, ability to move, joint involvement, pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and caregiver availability. Polymyositis subtype exhibits the lowest QoL scores compared to other subtypes and is correlated with overall QoL and mental domain scores. The dermatomyositis subtype correlates with physical domain scores. We did not observe QoL association with disease duration, other organ involvement, certain muscle weakness manifestations, malignancy, moon face, other IIM subtype, CK level, and autoantibodies. The SF-36 score reflected low QoL of IIM patients. The QoL was significantly impacted by the aspects of illness symptoms and medication adverse effects. Comprehensive and integrative management encompassing multiple disciplines is mandatory in IIM management.
期刊介绍:
This international, multidisciplinary journal covers all aspects of neuromuscular disorders in childhood and adult life (including the muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophies, hereditary neuropathies, congenital myopathies, myasthenias, myotonic syndromes, metabolic myopathies and inflammatory myopathies).
The Editors welcome original articles from all areas of the field:
• Clinical aspects, such as new clinical entities, case studies of interest, treatment, management and rehabilitation (including biomechanics, orthotic design and surgery).
• Basic scientific studies of relevance to the clinical syndromes, including advances in the fields of molecular biology and genetics.
• Studies of animal models relevant to the human diseases.
The journal is aimed at a wide range of clinicians, pathologists, associated paramedical professionals and clinical and basic scientists with an interest in the study of neuromuscular disorders.
