Evaluation of Quality of Life and Priorities of Patients with Glaucoma

摘要: PURPOSE. To investigate the quality of life and priorities patients with glaucoma. METHODS. Patients diagnosed glaucoma no other ocular comorbidity were consecutively recruited. Clinical information was collected. Participants asked to complete three questionnaires: EuroQuol (EQ-5D), time tradeoff (TTO), choice-based conjoint analysis. The latter used five-attribute outcomes: (1) reading seeing detail, (2) peripheral vision, (3) darkness glare, (4) household chores, (5) outdoor mobility. Visual field loss estimated by using binocular integrated visual fields (IVFs). RESULTS. Of 84 invited participate, 72 enrolled in study. utilities showed that two main "reading detail" "outdoor mobility." This rank order stable across all segmentations data demographic or state. However, relative emphasis these changed increasing loss, concerns for central vision increasing, whereas those mobility decreased. Two subgroups differing on attributes identified. Only 17% (those poorer acuity) prepared consider TTO. A principal component analysis revealed relatively independent components (i.e., low correlations) between different methodologies assessing life. CONCLUSIONS. Assessments have been shown produce outcomes intercorrelations them. a minority trade return normal vision. Conjoint priorities. Severity influenced importance
