QOLAE: Quality Of Life After Eye Surgical Removal
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Studies have shown that health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was worse among patients who underwent surgical eye removal compared to the general population in Denmark.
A third of eye amputated patients suffered from anxiety and depression. Most of the available evidence on the subject is based on retrospective studies that interviewed patients several years after surgery, which can potentially introduce biases.
Moreover, in the literature, there are no data concerning postoperative psychological and visual impact.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Score VFQ 25 score up to 3 months after surgery [Month 3]
100 = Best score, 0 = Worst possible score
Secondary Outcome Measures
- PSS score up to 3 months after surgery [Month 3]
score from 0 to 13 = low stress score from 14 to 26 = moderate stress score from 27 to 40 = high perceived stress.
- SF-36 score up to 3 months after surgery [Month 3]
The SF-36, as described in the name, is a 36-item patient-reported questionnaire that covers eight health domains: physical functioning (10 items), bodily pain (2 items), role limitations due to physical health problems (4 items), role limitations due to personal or emotional problems (4 items), emotional well-being (5 items), social functioning (2 items), energy/fatigue (4 items), and general health perceptions (5 items). Scores for each domain range from 0 to 100, with a higher score defining a more favorable health state
