| Popis: | Background: Intermittent claudication (IC) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are both associated with a decreased health status and possibly quality of life (QOL). A better understanding of the differences in QOL between patients with IC and CLTI could be of additional value in shared decision-making. The aim of this study was to compare the QOL at baseline between patients with IC and patients with CLTI.Methods: The study population was based on 2 study cohorts, 1 cohort consisted of patients with IC (ELECT registry) and the other cohort of patients with CLTI (KOP-study). Patients with an age of ≥70 years were included. QOL at baseline was measured by the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Nonresponders were excluded from data analyses. Student's t-tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analyses were used to compare QOL between the 2 groups. Outcomes of the ANCOVA analyses were expressed as estimated marginal means.Results: In total, 308 patients were included, 115 patients with IC and 193 patients with CLTI. Patients with CLTI were older (median age 80 years vs. 75 years, P < 0.001) and had more comorbidities. Patients with IC had a statistically significant higher QOL regarding physical health (mean 13.7 [standard deviation (SD) 2.3] vs. 10.8 [SD 2.8], P < 0.001), psychological health (mean 15.3 [SD 2.1] vs. 14.1 [SD 2.4], P < 0.001), environment (mean 16.3 [SD 2.4] vs. 15.5 [SD 2.0], P < 0.002), and the overall domain (mean 3.5 [SD 0.7] vs. 3.1 [SD 0.9], P < 0.001). After correcting for the confounding effect of age and sex, patients with IC still had a statistically significant higher QOL in the physical, psychological, environment, and overall domain.Conclusions: Patients with IC had a significantly higher QOL in the physical, psychological, environment, and overall domains of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire compared with patients with CLTI. This underlines the importance of strategies that reduce disease progression as disease progression is associated with a decrease in QOL. |
