98例创伤性脊髓损伤患者,中位年龄33.5岁(范围16-72岁),神经系统特征分布不显著,在损伤后中位2.3年(范围0.1-23年)进行研究。用已建立的自我评估工具记录功能、情绪障碍和整体生活质量。身体功能障碍水平中等,与神经功能障碍成比例。心理社会功能、情绪状态和生活质量感知与对照人群样本没有差异。在受伤后的前4年,心理社会功能和情绪障碍变化很大,但患者后来的记录主要表达了平衡的情绪状态和有益的社交生活。这方面的进展包括受伤后1年身体功能障碍明显减轻,2年后社会心理功能和幸福感有所改善,而社交活动和接触模式在受伤后4年逐渐减少。对患者病史中影响功能和情绪的并发症的分析显示,严重疼痛是唯一与生活质量评分较低相关的并发症。尿失禁、感染和自主反射障碍与抑制自我保健表现有关;与行走和进食技能受损有关的痉挛。有报酬的就业是唯一与高生活质量得分相关的人口因素。
Ninety-eight patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, at a median age of 33.5 years (range, 16-72 years), with nonremarkable distributions of neurologic characteristics were investigated at a median of 2.3 years (range, 0.1-23 years) after injury. Functioning, mood disturbances, and overall quality of life were recorded with established self-assessment instruments. Physical dysfunction levels were moderate, being proportionate to neurologic impairment. Psychosocial functions, mood states, and quality-of-life perceptions did not differ from those of a control population sample. Psychosocial function and mood disturbances varied greatly during the first 4 years after injury, but patients' later recordings expressed predominantly a balanced emotional state and a rewarding social life. Progress in this direction consisted of clearly lessened physical dysfunction 1 year after injury and better psychosocial function and well-being after 2 years, whereas patterns of social activities and contacts became gradually less inhibited during a 4-year period after injury. Analysis of complications in patients' histories that affected function and mood showed severe pain to be the only complication that related to lower quality-of-life scores. Urinary incontinence and infection and autonomous dysreflexia related to inhibited self-care performance; spasticity related to impaired ambulation and feeding skills. Gainful employment was the only demographic factor linked to high quality-of-life scores.
