Quality of life of osteoporosis patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital assessed by the Eq-5d-5l questionnaire
Main Article Content
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease that goes unnoticed until a fracture occurs, which lowers the patient's quality of life (QoL). From June to August 2024, 103 osteoporosis patients were assessed for QoL by the EQ-5D-5L scale and evaluated factors associated with QoL at Hanoi Medical University. Based on the EQ-5D-5L scale, the average QOL score was 0.659 ± 0.168. Walking, self-care, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/sadness were the domains where the majority of osteoporosis patients experienced from mild to severe symptoms, rating at 76.7%, 57.28%, 66.02%, 94.17%, and 77.67%, respectively. In comparison to patients under 70 years old, the probability of impacting walking, self-care, and daily activities was 1.41, 1.79, and 1.42 times greater in patients aged 70 and older, respectively, p < 0.05. Patients group with comorbidities had a 1.66-fold higher chance of compromising their capacity to take care of themselves than the control group (p < 0.05). In order to provide appropriate interventions, it is imperative to evaluate the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis, particularly the elderly patients (≥ 70 years old) or patients with comorbidities.
