Change From Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) Based on Short Form 36 (SF-36) Score at Months 3, 6 and 12
The SF-36 is a participant administered scale assessing general quality of life. It consists of self-administered 36-item questionnaire that measured 8 health domains: physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health. These 8 domains are also summarized as physical and mental component scores. The score for each domain and component score is the mean of the individual question scores, which are scaled from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum), where high scores in each dimension and high overall scores indicate a better quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline (measurement at enrollment), Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12
Change From Baseline in QoL Based on Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI41) at Months 3, 6 and 12
The HAQ-DI41 assessed the degree of difficulty a participant had experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consisted of 2-3 items. For each question in the questionnaire, the level of difficulty was scored from 0 to 3 with 0 =no difficulty," 1 = "some difficulty," 2 = "much difficulty," and 3 = "unable to do". The disability index was computed by adding the scores for each of the components and dividing by the number of components with an available score. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities.
