The role of contextual factors on health-related quality of life in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, 03/20/09
Gordeev VS et al. - Of the contextual factors explored in this study, helplessness and employment had an important and independent contribution to health-related quality of life. In patients with lower education, the effect of not being employed on ASQoL and the effect of helplessness on EQ-5D were stronger. Contextual factors, especially helplessness and employment, should receive more attention when interpreting data on health-related quality of life.
