Fatigue is a major problem in wide range of diseases including sarcoidosis. However, there no standard measure for assessing fatigue. Therefore, the aim present study was to evaluate usefulness Assessment Scale (FAS) two samples sarcoidosis patients. Sample 1 included 046 members Dutch Sarcoidosis Society and 2 consisted 80 patients outpatient clinic Management Centre Maastricht, Netherlands. All completed FAS as well 'energy fatigue' subscale WHOQOL-100. Additionally, participants filled...
Sarcoidosis-associated fatigue is globally recognised as a disabling symptom. Fatigue has been reported in up to 50–70% of sarcoidosis patients, causing impaired quality life. The aetiology this troublesome problem remains elusive and usually multifactorial. can be consequence treatment itself, including complication corticosteroid therapy. diagnosis sarcoidosis-associated requires an extensive evaluation identify treat potentially reversible causes. Granuloma formation cytokine release may...
<h3>Abstract</h3> <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether percutaneous vertebroplasty results in more pain relief than a sham procedure patients with acute osteoporotic compression fractures of the vertebral body. <h3>Design</h3> Randomised, double blind, controlled clinical trial. <h3>Setting</h3> Four community hospitals Netherlands, 2011-15. <h3>Participants</h3> 180 participants requiring treatment for were randomised to either (n=91) or (n=89). <h3>Interventions</h3> Participants received...
Summary: This paper reports on two studies. The goal of Study I was to examine the dimensionality existing fatigue scales. aims II were construct a new self-report instrument and its psychometric qualities. In I, 876 respondents completed Fatigue Scale ( Chalder et al., 1993 ), Checklist Individual Strength Vercoulen, Alberts, & Bleijenberg, 1999 Emotional Exhaustion subscale MBI-NL Schaufeli Van Dierendonck, 1994 Energy WHOQOL-100 De Vries Heck, 1995 ). Exploratory factor analyses...
Aims: To compare the psychometric qualities of six fatigue questionnaires in a sample working persons. Methods: Internal consistency and test-retest reliability, content validity, convergent dimensionality instruments were explored. Results: All scales had satisfactory internal consistency. Furthermore, based on factor analyses Mokken scale analyses, all unidimensional appeared to measure an identical construct. The Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) highest loading one solution obtained...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The reported incidence of PCE during PV varies, depending on the sensitivity diagnostic tests used. To assess true PCE, we performed native chest CT follow-up in a large proportion patients from VERTOS II trial. MATERIALS METHODS: is prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing with conservative therapy 202 patients. After mean 22 months (median, 21 months; range, 6–42 months), 54 78 (69%) 80 vertebrae treated underwent to detect possible PCE....
Cognitive symptoms, such as concentration problems, are frequently recorded by sarcoidosis patients.The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence perceived everyday cognitive failure in patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, effect treatment on functioning examined.The included 343 (44.6% females; age 49.3 +/- 11.0 years). They completed Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) at baseline 6-month follow-up evaluate functioning. The control group consisted age-...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> PV is increasingly used as treatment for osteoporotic VCFs. However, controversy exists to whether increases the risk new VCFs during follow-up. The purpose of our research was assess incidence in patients with acute randomized and conservative therapy. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> VERTOS II a prospective multicenter controlled trial comparing therapy 202 patients. Incidence, distribution, timing follow-up were assessed from spine radiographs. In addition,...
Studies showed that axillary lymph node dissection can be safely omitted in presence of positive sentinel node(s) breast cancer patients treated with conserving therapy. Since the outcome biopsy has no clinical consequence, value procedure itself is being questioned. The aim BOOG 2013–08 trial to investigate whether clinically negative a Dutch prospective non-inferiority randomized multicentre trial. Women pathologically confirmed T1–2 invasive undergoing therapy will for versus biopsy....
Little attention has been paid to quality of life (QOL) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Therefore, the aim this study was address issue and relationship between QOL, depressive symptoms, breathlessness these patients. Forty-one IPF patients 41 healthy persons matched for age sex completed World Health Organization Quality Life assessment instrument-100. The also Beck Depression Inventory, Bath Breathlessness Scale, a social support questionnaire question concerning perceived...
