Quality of life and treatment satisfaction with pharmacological interventions in Chinese adults with chronic pain due to osteoarthritis

Abstract Background Aim of this multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study was to evaluate health-related quality life (HRQoL) and treatment satisfaction current medications in Chinese knee OA patients. Methods Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQM-1.4), HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L) were assessed total 601 Impact on QoL (TSQM-1.4) by BPI-Severity score (< 4 ≥ 4) presented using mean standard deviations (SDs) compared a t-test. For each self-assessed health EQ-5D-5L TSQM, linear regression model used estimate the coefficient along with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for BPI-Severity. Results Mean patients ≥4 significantly lower than those < 4. All scores TSQM dimensions Both showed statistically significant decreasing trend increasing pain score. Conclusion Chronic has impact patients’ HRQoL. More severe less satisfied treatments.
