Comparative Effectiveness Study

Abstract Context In primary aldosteronism (PA), two subtypes are distinguished: aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH). In general, these are treated by adrenalectomy (ADX) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), respectively. Objective To compare the effects of surgical treatment and medical treatment on quality of life (QoL). Design Post hoc comparative effectiveness study within the Subtyping Primary Aldosteronism: A Randomized Trial Comparing Adrenal Vein Sampling and Computed Tomography Scan (SPARTACUS) trial. Setting Twelve Dutch hospitals and one Polish hospital. Participants Patients with PA (n = 184). Interventions ADX or MRAs. Main Outcome Measures At baseline and 6-month and 1-year follow-up, we assessed QoL by two validated questionnaires: RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 (RAND SF-36) and European Quality of Life–5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). Results At baseline, seven of eight RAND SF-36 subscales and both summary scores, as well as three of five EQ-5D dimensions and the visual analog scale, were lower in patients with PA compared with the general population, especially in women. The beneficial effects of ADX were larger than for MRAs for seven RAND SF-36 subscales, both summary scores, and health change. For the EQ-5D, we detected a difference in favor of ADX in two dimensions and the visual analog scale. Most differences in QoL between both treatments exceeded the minimally clinically important difference. After 1 year, almost all QoL measures had normalized for adrenalectomized patients. For patients on medical treatment, most QoL measures had improved but not all to the level of the general population. Conclusion Both treatments improve QoL in PA, underscoring the importance of identifying these patients. QoL improved more after ADX for suspected APA than after initiation of medical treatment for suspected BAH.

Abstract BackgroundAlong with the ageing society, hospitalized psychiatric patients are also ageing in Japan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between age, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and oral health, including oral and swallowing function, among psychiatric inpatients.MethodsThe subjects included 165 psychiatric inpatients in psychiatric hospitals in Japan. The General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) were included in the questionnaire survey for the measurement of OHRQoL and the screening of dysphagia. A score ≥3 on the EAT-10 was defined as suspected dysphagia. Oral examinations and oral diadochokinesis (ODK) measurements for the tongue-lip motor function evaluation were conducted. The inpatients with acute psychiatric symptoms, moderate and severe dementia, and cognitive impairment that affected their ability to communicate and relate their feelings were excluded. A chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and linear regression analysis were used for the analysis.ResultsA total of 100 (64.5%) psychiatric inpatients (49 males and 51 females) participated in this study. The means±SDs for age, the decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) index, and GOHAI score were 67.3±14.5, 20.6±6, and 49.7±7.9, respectively. The mean ODK scores were less than 3 times/sec for all syllables. The percentage of the participants with suspected dysphagia was 45.0%. Tooth loss and suspected dysphagia were significantly associated with low GOHAI scores. The EAT-10 score was significantly correlated with the GOHAI score only after adjusting for age and sex (β=-0.725, 95% CI:-0.97, -0.64).ConclusionsIn hospitalized psychiatric patients, impaired oral health in the older subjects was more pronounced compared with that among general adults. Tooth loss and swallowing function were associated with OHRQoL. Therefore, oral care for the recovery of occlusal and swallowing functions may be needed to improve OHRQoL among psychiatric patients.

Abstract 【Background】Along with the ageing society, hospitalized psychiatric patients are also ageing in Japan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between age, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and oral health, including oral and swallowing function, among psychiatric inpatients. 【Methods】The subjects included 165 psychiatric inpatients in two psychiatric hospitals in Japan. The General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) were included in the questionnaire survey for the measurement of OHRQoL and swallowing function. A score ≥3 on the EAT-10 was defined as suspected dysphagia. Oral examinations and oral diadochokinesis (ODK) measurements for the tongue-lip motor function evaluation were conducted. A chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and linear regression analysis were used for the analysis. 【Results】A total of 100 (64.5%) psychiatric inpatients (49 males and 51 females) participated in this study. Their mean±SD age was 67.3±14.5. The higher DMFT index, the lower tongue-lip function, and suspected dysphagia was significantly associated with the higher age group. Tooth loss and suspected dysphagia were significantly associated with low GOHAI scores. The EAT-10 score was significantly correlated with the GOHAI score only after adjusting for age and sex (β=-0.725, 95% CI:-0.97, -0.64). 【Conclusions】In hospitalized psychiatric patients, impaired oral health in the older subjects was more pronounced compared with that among general adults. Tooth loss and swallowing function were associated with OHRQoL. Therefore, oral care for the recovery of occlusal and swallowing functions may be needed to improve OHRQoL among psychiatric patients.
