Abstract
Background and Aims
In most studies to date, generic health-related quality of life (QoL) questionnaires have been used in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Unfortunately, these tools are often considered insufficient for capturing the unique characteristics of this specific, rare disease. The Chronic Acquired Polyneuropathy Patient-Reported Index (CAP-PRI) is a measure which specifically targets patients with chronic immune-mediated polyneuropathies. This is the first study which longitudinally assessed QoL and functionality by CAP-PRI in patients with active CIDP.
Methods
CAP-PRI testing was conducted at three time points (baseline, year one and year four) in 57 CIDP patients with active disease at baseline. In addition, the Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) disability score, Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS), and the generic QOL instrument, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) were used in all tested patients at all three time points.
Results
At the baseline and two other time points, CAP-PRI showed strong correlations with impairment (MRC-SS), functionality (INCAT, I-RODS), and the SF-36. At year one and year four, CAP-PRI was able to make a differentiation between patients whose impairment/disability improved compared to patients who deteriorated, and it performed better than SF-36. One- and four-year changes in CAP-PRI correlated with a change in MRC-SS, INCAT, and I-RODS.
Interpretation
CAP-PRI is a highly reliable and sensitive measure for assessing QoL in patients with active CIDP. Its consistent performance over time supports its utility in monitoring CIDP patients with active disease in clinical and research settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is the official journal of the Peripheral Nerve Society. Founded in 1996, it is the scientific journal of choice for clinicians, clinical scientists and basic neuroscientists interested in all aspects of biology and clinical research of peripheral nervous system disorders.
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality articles on cell and molecular biology, genomics, neuropathic pain, clinical research, trials, and unique case reports on inherited and acquired peripheral neuropathies.
Original articles are organized according to the topic in one of four specific areas: Mechanisms of Disease, Genetics, Clinical Research, and Clinical Trials.
The journal also publishes regular review papers on hot topics and Special Issues on basic, clinical, or assembled research in the field of peripheral nervous system disorders. Authors interested in contributing a review-type article or a Special Issue should contact the Editorial Office to discuss the scope of the proposed article with the Editor-in-Chief.
