Abstract:Background: The quality of life in patients with chronic low-back pain is lower in comparison with that in general population. This seriously affects the functional ability and working status of young and adult population. The aim of this study was to determine the level of disability and the health-related quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in 187 patients (45.5 % of men, mean age 50.1 years) with chronic non-specific low back pain attending physical therapy program. We used Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS), Euroqol questionnaire (EQq), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results: Mean ODI score SD was 14.6 9.0. Mean score of EQ-5D was 3.6 1.6 points and of EQ-VAS 55.4 18.3 points. Mean score on VAS was 6.0 2.1 points. An independent factor associated with lower quality of life on EQ-VAS was higher level of chronic pain. Independent factors associated with a lower quality of life on EQ-5D were the presence of anxiety and depression, higher level of chronic pain, and the presence of chronic disease. Independent factors associated with greater disability measured on ODI were the presence of signs of anxiety and depression, higher level of chronic pain, and the presence of any chronic disease. Conclusions: Chronic low back pain can be the cause of greater disability and lower quality of life, especially in patients with somatic and mental co-morbidities, in female patients and in patients with higher levels of chronic pain. Doctors should focus on active search for signs of depression and anxiety and better pain management in patients with chronic low back pain, especially if somatic co-morbidities exist.

Title:Napovedni dejavniki z zdravjem povezane kakovosti življenja pri bolnikih s kronično nespecifično bolečino v križu
Abstract:Izhodišča: Bolniki s kronično bolečino v križu imajo glede na splošno populacijo slabšo kakovost življenja. Kronična bolečina v križu namreč resno prizadene funkcionalno in delovno sposobnost bolnikov vseh starosti. Z raziskavo smo želeli določiti raven oviranosti in z zdravjem povezano kakovost življenja pri bolnikih s kronično nespecifično bolečino v križu. Metode: Izvedli smo presečno raziskavo na 187 bolnikih (45,5 % moških, povprečna starost 50,1 leta) s kronično nespecifično bolečino v križu, ki so se udeležili fizioterapevtskega programa. Uporabili smo vizualno analogno lestvico za ocenjevanje ja- kosti bolečine (VAS), vprašalnik Euroqol (EQq) in vprašalnik Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Rezultati: Povprečna vrednost indeksa po lestvici ODI je bila 14,6 ± 9,0 točk, po vprašalniku EQ-5D 3,6 ± 1,6 točk in 55,4 ± 18,3 točk po vprašalniku EQ-VAS. Povprečna vrednost ocene s pomočjo VAS je bila 6,0 ± 2,1 točke. Neodvisni dejavnik, ki vpliva na nižjo kakovost življenja po oceni EQ-VAS, je višja jakost kronične bolečine. Neodvisni dejavniki, povezani z nižjo kakovostjo življenja po vprašalniku EQ-5D, so bili znaki depresije oz. anksioznosti, višja jakost bolečine in prisotnost kroničnih bolezni. Neodvisni dejavniki, povezani z višjo oviranostjo po vprašalniku ODI, so bili znaki depresije oz. anksioznosti, višja jakost kronične bolečine in prisotnost drugih kroničnih bolezni. Zaključki: Kronična bolečina v križu je pogosto vzrok večje oviranosti in nižje kakovosti življenja, še posebej pri bolnikih s sočasnimi somatskimi in z duševnimi boleznimi, pri ženskah in pri bolnikih z višjo jakostjo kronične bolečine. Potrebno je, da se zdravniki osredotočijo na aktivno iskanje simptomov in znakov depresije oz. anksioznosti pri svojih bolnikih in več pozornosti namenijo učinkovitejšemu zdravljenju kronične bolečine, še posebej pri bolnikih, ki imajo tudi druge bolezni.
