Methods： A total of 320 patients with endometdosis were randomized into two groups by using random block design, CM group （160 cases, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis treatment based on syndrome differentiation） and WM group （160 cases, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or gestrinone treatment） after conservative surgery. Treatment was given for 3-6 months （according to the revised American Fertility Society scoring system stage）, and the Wodd Health Organization QOL-BREF （WHOQOL-BREF） was applied to patients before and after treatment to assess QOL. Results： There were 136 cases in the CM group and 141 cases in the WM group completing therapy. In the CM group, the use of the WHOQOL-BREF showed that the physical, psychological and environmental scores post- treatment were significantly higher than those at pre-treatment （P〈0.05）, and for 12 items （pain and discomfort, energy and fatigue, sleep and rest, mobility, activities of daily living, work capacity, negative feelings, health and social care： accessibility and quality, participation in and opportunities for recreation/leisure activities, appetite, QOL score, overall health status and QOL）, the difference in scores was significant （P〈0.05）. In the WM group, 4 items （pain and discomfort, opportunities for acquiring new information and skills, QOI_ score, overall health status and QOL） had significantly different scores post-treatment compared with those at pre-treatment （P〈0.05）. Before treatment, the QOL in the two groups of patients showed no significant difference （P〉0.05）. After treatment, the scores for physical health in the CM group were significantly higher than those of the WM group （P〈0.05） and the scores of 4 items （mobility, activities of daily living, sexual activity, QOL score） in the CM展开更多

It is desired that the patient with any kind of TB disease should lead a respectable and happier life during their course of TB treatment. Currently, the quality of life (QOL) is an important indicator to assess the well-being of a person and there is paucity of such information among TB patients. Hence, we conducted to assess and compare the QOL of Revised National TB Control Programme registered Drug sensitive TB patients, Drug resistant TB patients and general population of Gadag district in Karnataka, India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Gadag district, Karnataka from March 2017 through March 2018 among drug sensitive, drug resistant TB patients and general population. A Non-probability purposive sampling was adopted to select the samples that were matched for age, gender and ward. The select patients were administered WHO QOL-BREF questionnaire by trained personnel. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 12 analysis software. Results: The scores obtained for the four domains of QOL were (a) physical health: 69.62 + 18.29 (b) Psychological: 66.96 + 18.62 (c) Environment: 60.99 + 15.05 and (d) Social relationships: 53.5 + 19.93. Conclusions: The drug resistant TB patients have poor QOL when compared to drug sensitive and general population.展开更多
