OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the quality of life (Q of L) of @entity1 with @entity726 and control subjects and to determine the relationships between Q of L and demographic and clinical variables in @entity1 with @entity726 . DESIGN: The study design was a stratified cross-sectional study. @entity1 : A gender-, race-, and age-stratified cross-sectional sample of @entity1 with @entity726 (n = 56) and control subjects (n = 54) was obtained. Additional @entity1 (n = 12) were included to examine the relationships between @entity726 , its therapy, and Q of L. INTERVENTION: The Medical Outcomes Study short form (MOS-20), the @entity227 ( @entity227 ), and questions related to @entity726 and side effects of treatment were administered. Descriptive statistics characterized demographic variables and MOS and @entity227 scales. Group differences were evaluated using chi-square, Fisher's and Ordinal Exact, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and two-sample t tests. Spearman rank correlations were obtained between MOS- @entity227 scores and clinical and demographic variables. Regression was used for multivariate analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The MOS scores, @entity227 scores, visual acuity, visual fields, and demographic variables were measured. RESULTS: @entity1 scored significantly lower than did the control subjects in all MOS-20 categories except @entity158 . Differences were physical (-20%), role (-43%), mental health (-10%), general health (-22%), and social (-9%). The only category that was not statistically significant was that of @entity158 (P = 0.075). In the @entity726 subgroup, there were differences between whites and nonwhites in MOS subscales physical, role, social, @entity158 , and health, and @entity227 . In @entity1 , current medications and previous surgeries correlated with @entity227 subscales night vision, near vision, and glare; visual acuity and fields correlated with MOS subscales physical, role and health, and all @entity227 subscales. A multiple regression model including visual acuity and fields, urban residence, and female gender explained 61% of the variability in @entity227 overall score. CONCLUSIONS: The Q-of-L perception differed between @entity1 with @entity726 and control subjects. Increasing field loss, decreased visual acuity, and complexity of therapy correlated with @entity1 ' reduction in activities of daily vision.
