The Impact

Introduction. MS is characterized by a large variety of symptoms, which negatively affects the functioning and quality of life of patients. Aim. The purpose of the work is determination of the impact of Multiple Sclerosis on the daily functioning of patients and assessment of the sense of responsibility for one’s own health among patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Material and Methods. The study included 97 patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, treated at the Department of Neurology, University Hospital in Białystok. Study group consisted of 73 women and 24 men. The research has been conducted using the diagnostic survey method with following research tools: Activities of Daily Living scale; Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale; Multidimensional Health Locus of Control and a self-constructed questionnaire. Results. The average age of the respondents was 52 (±10.36) and was comparable for women and men — 52.33 (±10.97) years and 51.79 (±8.42) years, respectively. The duration of the disease was on average 8 years (±3.87). Among the respondents, from the beginning of the disease, on average 5.02 exacerbations of MS (±3.08) have been observed. The most significant problem for MS patients was sphincter control (45.36%), independent bath (34.02%) and use of the toilet (31.96%). According to Lawton’s scale, patients with MS had most difficulties going out for shopping and getting outside walking distance. With the duration of the disease, the internal location of health control decreased significantly. Conclusions. As a result of increasing restrictions on the independent functioning of patients with Multiple Sclerosis, the sense of control over their own health is located in external factors such as chance and the influence of others.

The Impact

ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate the prevalence of impairment of activities of daily living (ADLs) in older patients with heart failure (HF), and to examine the impact of ADL impairment on readmission after discharge.Design and settingsA prospective cohort study was conducted in patients aged ≥65 years with HF admitted to a tertiary hospital in Vietnam from August 2016 to June 2017. Difficulties with six ADLs were assessed by a questionnaire. Participants were classified into two categories (with and without ADL impairment). The associations of ADL impairment with 3-month readmission were examined using logistic regression models.ResultsThere were 180 participants (mean age 80.6±8.2, 50% female) and 26.1% were classified as having ADL impairment. The most common impaired activity was bathing (21.1%), followed by transferring (20.0%), toileting (12.2%), dressing (8.9%), eating (3.3%), and continence (2.8%). During 3-month follow-up, 32.8% of the participants were readmitted to hospitals (55.3% in participants with ADL impairment, 24.8% in those without ADL impairment, p<0.001). ADL impairment significantly increased the risk of 3-month readmission (adjusted OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.25 to 6.05, p=0.01).ConclusionsIn summary, ADL impairment was common in older hospitalised patients with HF and was associated with increased readmission. These findings suggest further studies on ADL assessment and intervention during transition care for older patients with HF after discharge to prevent readmission.

The Impact

This study evaluated the association between anemia and physical functional capacity in a cross-sectional population-based sample of 709 hospitalized elderly patients aged 60 years and over admitted to the Madre Teresa Hospital, Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Mann-Whitney or "t" test, and chi-square or Fisher exact test were used for quantitative and categorical variables, respectively, and hierarchical binary logistic regression was used to identify significant predictors. The presence of anemia was found in 30% of participants and was significantly associated with decreased functionality according to the two measures which were used - ADL (activities of daily living) and IADL (instrumental activities of daily living). Anemia was also independently associated with older age. The results of this study demonstrate a strong association between the presence of anemia and lower levels of functional capacity. Further investigations are needed to assess the impact of anemia treatment on the functionality and independence of older people.
