The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) following the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25) and the macular sensitivity determined by microperimetry in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
The Japanese version of the NEI VFQ-25 was used to assess the VRQOL of 30 patients with typical RP whose decimal visual acuity was ≥0.6. The mean retinal sensitivity within the central 10° was determined by fundus-related microperimetry (MP1). The correlation between the mean of the total composite NEI VFQ-25 score and MP1-determined macular sensitivity was determined.
Mean NEI VFQ-25 score was 69.4 ± 14.5 (range 34.6-90.3) in RP patients. There was a significant positive correlation between mean NEI VFQ-25 score and mean retinal sensitivity within 10° (r = 0.673, P = 0.0003).
The significant correlation between macular sensitivity and VRQOL measured with the NEI VFQ-25 indicates that sensitivity in the macular area is an important consideration in using VRQOL with RP patients.
本研究旨在确定经美国国家眼科研究所视觉功能问卷-25(NEI VFQ-25)评估的视功能相关生活质量(VRQOL)与色素性视网膜炎(RP)患者微视野计测量的黄斑敏感性之间的关系。
使用日本版 NEI VFQ-25 评估 30 名典型 RP 患者的 VRQOL,这些患者的十进制视力≥0.6。通过眼底相关微视野计(MP1)确定中央 10°内的平均视网膜敏感性。确定总复合 NEI VFQ-25 评分的平均值与 MP1 确定的黄斑敏感性之间的相关性。
RP 患者的平均 NEI VFQ-25 评分为 69.4±14.5(范围 34.6-90.3)。平均 NEI VFQ-25 评分与 10°内平均视网膜敏感性之间存在显著正相关(r=0.673,P=0.0003)。
黄斑敏感性与 NEI VFQ-25 测量的 VRQOL 之间存在显著相关性,表明在使用 RP 患者的 VRQOL 时,黄斑区域的敏感性是一个重要的考虑因素。
