Evidence-based assessment of life quality and its influencing factors in tic disorder patients in China
Abstract：Objective To systematically review the current status of life quality in patients with tic disorder (TD) in China, so as to provide evidence for improving life quality of TD. Methods We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases from inception to June 2017. Studies which assessed the life quality of TD were included, and then descriptive analysis were used to summarized the results. Results A total of 9 studies published from 2002 to 2016, involving 1 273 patients aged from 8 to 16 years old, were included. Seven studies found that the TD patients' life quality was lower than the healthy control group by using different inventory of subjective life quality (ISLQ) scales. However only 3 studies analyzed the influencing factors of the life quality of TD. Conclusions TD' life quality in China is low, compared with the control group. However, the sample sizes are small, different evaluation scales are adopted, and there is lack of analysis of related influencing factors. It is recommended to carry out large sample and multicenter research for further exploration of the quality of life of TD patients and its influencing factors.
