Relation of Social Participation Restrictions with Worsening Quality of Life in Japanese Patients with Behcet's Disease: The 36-item Short Form Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with Behçet's disease (BD) have a variety of symptoms, and the exacerbation of these symptoms affects their daily life and social participation and reduces their quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to clarify the relationship between social participation and QOL in BD patients.

Methods

The BD-checklist 92 and 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaires were mailed to 10 affiliates. A total of 174 patients with BD completed the questionnaire. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of problems in each "participation" category of the BD-checklist 92, and the SF-36 scores were compared. Subsequently, a correlational analysis was used to examine the relationship between the number of problem categories extract
