Health-related quality of life in patients with Kashin–Beck disease is lower than in those with osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic deformable bone and joint disease, which affects the quality of life (QOL) of patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study of the QOL of KBD patients by a new KBD quality of life (KBDQOL) questionnaire. Methods A total of 252 KBD patients...

description Abstract Background Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic deformable bone and joint disease, which affects the quality of life (QOL) of patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study of the QOL of KBD patients by a new KBD quality of life (KBDQOL) questionnaire. Methods A total of 252 KBD patients and 248 OA patients came from Northwest China, and 260 healthy people living in the same area as KBD and osteoarthritis (OA) patients served as the controls. KBDQOL questionnaire was used to evaluate the QOL of all objects. Results The average scores for physical functions, activity limitations, support of society, mental health and general health were significantly lower in KBD patients than that in OA patients and healthy people except for economics. Monofactor analysis showed that age, height, weight status, education level and grade of KBD had a significant effect on KBDQOL score. Multivariate analysis showed that grade of KBD was the influencing factor of physical function score; gender, age, height, grade of KBD and duration of symptoms were the influencing factors of activity restriction score; age and grade of KBD were factors affecting the general health score. Conclusion The QOL of KBD patients was significantly lower than that of OA patients and healthy people. The KBDQOL questionnaire may be a promising tool for assessing the QOL of KBD patients.
