PURPOSE: Several studies on the quality of life in @entity1 with @entity46 have been performed with conflicting results. This cross-section survey examines the influence of @entity46 on the psychological well-being and the quality of life and the incidence of @entity148 and @entity308 among these @entity1 , recruited from a tertiary care center in Austria. METHODS: Three standardized questionnaires of 62 @entity1 with @entity46 were evaluated: status of health questionnaire (SF-36), hospital @entity148 and @entity308 scale (HADS-D), and @entity46 health profile (EHP-30). Quality of life status (EHP-30) was compared with published samples of the Oxford hospital and the Charite Berlin. Chi-square tests, independent sample t-tests, and one-way independent ANCOVA's were used to compare SF- 36 and HADS- D scores to 61 healthy controls. Pearson product-moment-correlation coefficients were used to investigate correlations between symptoms of @entity308 and @entity148 in the @entity1 sample. RESULTS: Moderate to severe @entity148 symptoms were found in 29  %; @entity308 were present in 14.5  % of the @entity1 . Both symptoms occurred in 12.9  %. We found significant better values in all subscales of the EHP compared to the Oxford and Berlin samples. The control sample showed significant better subjective general health (p  <  0.001), vitality (p  <  0.001), mental health (p  <  0.001), and better emotional role functioning (p  <  0.001). @entity1 age significantly influenced mental health and emotional role functioning. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of @entity46 on life quality in our study was considerably less than in other studies but equivalent to other chronic medical conditions. It could be shown that @entity46 is influenced by biopsychosocial variables. However, the elevated presence of @entity148 and @entity308 indicates the need of psychosomatic treatment of @entity1316 to prevent manifestation.
