OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of this study were to describe the impact of Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) on quality of life (QoL), to estimate the correlation between QoL and severity of lung disease and to assess the impact of ILD on caregivers.

METHODS

Seven investigators included SSc-ILD patients from December 2019 to April 2020.

Sociodemographics and clinical data were collected. Patients reported outcomes (PROs) and questionnaires were used with 1 generic PRO (EQ-5D-5L), 1 specific PRO (K-BILD) and 2 self-reported questionnaires on impact of SSc complications and impact on caregivers.

The correlation between forced vital capacity (FVC) and EQ-5D-5L score was estimated with a multivariate linear regression model adjusted on several covariates.

RESULTS

89 patients were included. 26.4% were males, mean age was 58±14.5 years.

Mean EQ-5D-5L score=0.79±0.22 (median=0.85). Mean EQ-5D-5L VAS score=60.8±20.4 (median=61.5).

Mean K-BILD score=58.4±12.7 (median=58.0).

After adjustment on covariates, a significant correlation between FVC and EQ-5D-5L score was found with an increase of 0.003 of the EQ-5D-5L score for a 1% increase of FVC (p=0.01).

No significant correlation between FVC and the EQ-VAS and K-BILD score were found.

After adjustment, the impact of SSc on other organs was significantly correlated with EQ-5D-5L score respectively for the impact scores on the lung system (p=0.0013), heart system (p=0.002), Raynaud’s syndrome (p=0.0087), digestive system (p=0.0003), joints/muscles (p<0.0001), skin (p<0.0001), kidney (p=0.0004) and gastro-oesophageal reflux (p=0.0013) . Significant correlations between K-BILD score and lung system (p<0.0001), heart system (p<0.0001), digestive system (p<0.0001), kidney (p=0.0002), skin (p=0.03) and gastro-oesophageal reflux (p=0.0003) scores were also found

68.5% of patients reported their need for a caregiver to help them in their daily life activities.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study highlighted the strong burden of SSc-ILD for patients, especially with an impact on QoL, on other organs manifestations and need for caregivers in their daily life.
