This study assessed the association of HRQOL with disabilities, fatigue, and depression in Japanese subjects with MS. The results showed that HRQOL had relatively close correlations with disabilities and fatigue, and depression had an especially close relationship with HRQOL.
Objectives Neurological disabilities, especially physical issues, can adversely affect the daily lives of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). On the other hand, physical and psychiatric symptoms are variable in people with MS, and QOL can be influenced by cultural and educational background. This study aimed to evaluate the association of HRQOL with disabilities, fatigue, and depression in Japanese subjects with MS. Methods Evaluation of HRQOL, fatigue, and depression was performed in 184 Japanese individuals with MS, using the Functional Assessment of MS (FAMS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II), respectively. Results Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated negative correlations of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) with scores on the FAMS subscales of mobility, symptoms, thinking and fatigue, total FAMS, and additional concerns. The FSS score had negative correlations with mobility, symptoms, emotional well-being, thinking and fatigue, total FAMS, and additional concerns. There were negative correlations between BDI-II scores and all items of FAMS. Conclusions HRQOL had relatively close correlations with disabilities and fatigue, and depression had an especially close relationship with HRQOL.
