背景：偏头痛已被证明具有实质性的个人和社会影响。偏头痛患者的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）评估已被用于监测和评估基于患者和人群的结局，并评估治疗的有效性和反应性。在本文中，我们测试了一种新的，更短的通用健康调查，SF-8（TM）健康调查（SF-8（TM）），一种替代形式，使用一个问题来测量SF-36（R）健康调查（SF-36（R））的八个领域中的每一个，在偏头痛患者的子样本中。研究方法：来自7557名通过互联网和邮件调查的参与者的数据被用来记录偏头痛对HRQOL的负担，并使用SF-8比较偏头痛与其他慢性疾病的相对负担。结果：偏头痛患者的HRQOL与充血性心力衰竭、高血压、糖尿病患者相似，优于抑郁症患者。偏头痛患者比骨关节炎患者的身体健康状况更好，心理健康状况更差。结果支持先前的研究，表明偏头痛对功能健康和福祉的负担是相当大的，与已知对HRQOL有重大影响的其他慢性疾病相当。结论：SF-8量表在偏头痛的人群研究中是一种更为实用和有效的描述偏头痛负担的方法。
Background: Migraine headaches have been shown to have substantial personal and societal implications. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) assessments of migraineurs have been used to monitor and evaluate patient- and population-based outcomes, and to evaluate effectiveness and responsiveness to treatment. In this paper, we test a new, even shorter generic health survey, the SF-8(TM) Health Survey (SF-8(TM)), an alternate form that uses one question to measure each of the eight SF-36(R) Health Survey (SF-36(R)) domains, in a sub-sample of migraine sufferers. Methods: Data from 7557 participants surveyed via the Internet and mail were used to document the burden of migraine on HRQOL and to compare the relative burden of migraine with other chronic conditions using the SF-8. Results: Migraineurs' HRQOL is similar to those with congestive heart failure, hypertension and diabetes, and is better than those with depression. Migraine sufferers experience better physical health and worse mental health (MH) than those with osteoarthritis. Results support prior research indicating that the burden of migraine on functional health and well-being is considerable and comparable to other chronic conditions known to have substantial impact on HRQOL. Conclusions: The SF-8 may provide a more practical and efficient method to describe the burden of migraine in population studies.
