SF-36量表评估心脏瓣膜病患者术后生活质量的研究进展

Progress in Evaluating Quality of Life in Postoperative Patients with Valvular Heart Disease Using SF-36 Health Survey

生活质量评估是从患者主观感受角度评估患者病情,近半个世纪来,逐渐成为临床评价治疗效果的一项重要指标。生活质量评估量表众多,SF-36健康调查简表(the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey,SF-36)是目前应用最广泛的量表。近年来,SF-36量表逐渐应用于探索影响心脏瓣膜病患者术后生活质量的危险因素,为临床医生提供了更多的术前评估方法,提高了手术治疗效果。但目前SF-36用于评估心脏瓣膜病患者生活质量刚刚起步,受样本量、随访时间、地域、文化等因素的影响,结论有一定分歧。为此,我们对目前用SF-36量表评估心脏瓣膜病患者术后生活质量的研究进展进行综述,以更好地应用SF-36量表。

Quality of life （QOL） refers to an individual＇s perception and subjective evaluation of their health and well-being, and has become an important index to evaluate the outcomes of clinical treatment in the last past decades. There are a large number of different instruments to evaluate QOL, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey （SF-36） is currently one of the most widely used instruments. In recent years, SF-36 has been used to evaluate QOL of valvular heart disease patients to investigate the risk factors those influence their postoperative QOL, provide more preoperative evaluation tools for clinical physicians, and improve postoperative outcomes of patients with valvular heart disease. However, it is now just the beginning to use SF-36 to examine QOL of valvular heart disease patients. Because of significant differences in sample size, follow-up period, country and culture, current research has some controversial results. This review focuses on the progress in evaluating QOL in postoperative patients with valvular heart disease using SF-36.
