评估沙特阿拉伯一家公立医院多发性硬化症（MS）患者的生活质量，并确定与MS患者生活质量水平相关的因素。2016年6月至2017年4月在沙特阿拉伯王国吉达的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城进行了一项横断面研究。参与门诊和住院服务的多发性硬化症患者被招募参与研究。采用阿拉伯语版EuroQOL-5量表（EQ-5D）评估MS患者的生活质量。292例患者的生活质量数据。报告的MS患者生活质量EQ-5D指数值评分为0.31±0.51，EQ-VAS评分为73.87±23.41。研究发现，用EQ-5D指数和EQ-VAS数值测定的生活质量随病程成比例地恶化。多发性硬化症对患者的生活质量有很大的影响。从医学和心理社会两方面进行管理仍然具有挑战性。临床医生应将生活质量评估与其他重要措施（包括症状评估、实验室检查和神经影像学）一起作为常规做法，为多发性硬化症患者提供全面的护理。
To assess quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and determine the factors associated with levels of quality of life in MS patients in a public hospital in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2016 to April 2017 in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Multiple sclerosis patients attending the outpatient and inpatient services were approached and recruited to participate in the study. The Arabic version of EuroQOL-5 Dimensions instrument (EQ-5D) was utilized for the assessment of MS patients quality of life. Data on quality of life were obtained from 292 patients. The reported quality of life of MS patients as measured by the EQ-5D index value score was 0.31±0.51 and the EQ-VAS score was 73.87±23.41, respectively. It was found that quality of life determined numerically in the EQ-5D index value and EQ-VAS deteriorates proportionally according to the disease duration. Multiple sclerosis is associated with a considerable effect on the patients quality of life. It continues to be challenging to manage both medically and psychosocially. Clinicians should consider the assessment of quality of life as routine practice along with the other important measures including symptomatic evaluation, laboratory tests, and neuroimaging to provide a holistic care of their MS patients.
