Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A survey on Quality of life QOL was conducted and assessed in 40 filarial lymph edema patients in the clinic unit of Vector Control Research Center VCRC , Puducherry, by administering modified, translated, and validated versions of the Euro Quality of life 5Dimensions – 3Levels EQ 5D 3L health survey scale and the EQ Visual Analogue Scale EQ VAS . The EQ VAS assesses the current rating general health status. The EQ 5D 3L measures quality of health on 5 dimensions covering mobility, self care, usual activities, pain and discomfort and anxiety and depression. By EQ 5D 3L, patients experienced poorer physical functioning mobility , more role limitations self care resulting from physical health conditions, less emotional well being anxiety and depression , poorer social functioning, and more pain. By EQ VAS, the overall general health status was significantly affected in subjects with filarial lymph edema. The significant difference in the QOL as perceived by filarial lymph edema patients reiterates the importance of morbidity control in patients affected by this disease. R. Senthil Kumar | D.
