Publication Metadata only The validity and reliability of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) in a Turkish population(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, M. T.; Unal, C.; Toprak, C. Sanal; Sezer, I.; Yilmaz, F.; Ulutatar, F.; Atagunduz, P.; Baklacioglu, H. S.Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may have a profound impact on quality of life. There is increasing interest in measuring quality of life in lupus patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of SLE Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) in Turkish SLE patients. Methods SLE according to 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Classification Criteria were recruited into the study. Demographic data, clinical parameters and disease activity measured with the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K); were noted. Nottingham Health Profile and Health Assessment Questionnaire were filled out in addition to the Turkish L-QoL (LQoL-TR). Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results The mean age of participants was 43.5514.33 years and the mean disease duration was 89.8 +/- 92.1 months. The patients filled out LQoL-TR in 2.5min. Strong correlation of LQoL-TR with all subgroups of the Nottingham Health Profile and the Health Assessment Questionnaire were established showing the convergent validity. The highest correlation was demonstrated with emotional reactions (rho=0.72) and sleep component (rho=0.65) of the Nottingham Health Profile scale (p<0.0001). Its poor and not significant correlation with nonfunctional parameters (age, disease duration, perceived general health, SLEDAI-2K) showed its discriminative properties. LQoL-TR demonstrated good internal reliability with a Cronbach's of 0.93 and test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.87. Conclusion The LQoL-TR is a practical and useful tool which demonstrates good validity and reliability.Publication Metadata only The evaluation of the static and dynamic balance disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, Mehmet Tuncay; Baklacioglu, Hatice Sule; Toprak, Canan Sanal; Atalay, Kardelen Gencer; Atagunduz, Mehmet PamirTo evaluate the static and dynamic balances in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to investigate their relationship with clinical and functional parameters. Patients diagnosed with PsA and healthy controls were recruited consecutively into the study. The demographic variables such as age, sex, body mass index of the subjects were noted. Radiographic images were examined for the detection of foot deformities. Foot and Ankle Outcome Score' (FAOS) was used to assess foot function. The dynamic and static balance of the patients was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale' (BBS) and Neurocom Balance Master' device. The fatigue (Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue: MAF), depression (Beck Depression Inventory: BDI) and sleep disorders (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: PSQI) of all patients were evaluated. This study included 50 PsA patients and 50 healthy controls with mean ages of 45.02 (SD 12.81) and 45.12 (SD 10.56), respectively. Demographic data of both groups were similar. Concerning the balance tests, there were significant differences (p<0.05) between patient and control groups about the all tests of sway velocity (except on foam surface eyes closed test), end sway of tandem walk test, movement time of bilateral step up over test and lift up index of left step up over test. There was no significant correlation between static and dynamic balance parameters with MAF, BDI, PSQI, foot deformities and FAOS. The static and dynamic balance impairments are seen in PsA. As the balance parameters had no significant correlation with functional and clinical data, they are acceptable as independent parameters during the course of the disease.
