Vision Health-Related Quality of Life in Chinese Glaucoma Patients

الملخص EN

This cross-sectional study evaluated VRQOL in Chinese glaucoma patients and the potential factors influencing VRQOL.

The VRQOL was assessed using the Chinese-version low vision quality of life questionnaire.

Visual field loss was classified by the Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson method.

The correlations of VRQOL to the best corrected visual acuity and the VF loss were investigated.

The potential impact factors to VRQOL of glaucoma patients were screened by single factor analysis and were further analyzed by multiple regression analysis.

There were significant differences in VRQOL scores between mild VF loss group and moderate VF loss group, moderate VF loss group and severe VF loss group, and mild VF loss group and severe VF loss group according to the better eye.

In multiple linear regression, the binocular weighted average BCVA significantly affected the VRQOL scores.

Binocular MD was the second influencing factor.

In logistic regression, binocular severe VF loss and stroke were significantly associated with abnormal VRQOL.

Education was the next influencing factor.

This study showed that visual acuity correlated linearly with VRQOL, and VF loss might reach a certain level, correlating with abnormal VRQOL scores.

Stroke was significantly associated with abnormal VRQOL.
