Abstract
The anti-IFN-γ disease is a rare condition characterized by recurrent and persistent infections, potentially impacting the quality of life (QoL). However, comprehensive data on QoL in this population are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the QoL of Anti-IFN-γ patients compared to healthy control and explore potential differences in QoL between patients in the active and remission stages. A cross-sectional study design was conducted, recruiting 38 Anti-IFN-γ patients and 38 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. QoL assessment utilized the 5-level EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The Anti-IFN-γ group had a mean age of 57.37 (± 10.32) years, with females comprising 60.53%. Among the Anti-IFN-γ patients, 55.26% were classified as having active disease. 63% of Anti-IFN-γ patients received Immunosuppressive treatments. Anti-IFN-γ disease exhibited a significant negative impact on HRQoL, as evidenced by lower utility scores in EQ-5D-5L and lower physical and mental component scores in SF-36 across various domains, including physical function, role physical, general health, bodily pain, social functioning, role emotion and mental health, compared to healthy controls. Additionally, patients in the active disease displayed lower scores in multiple domains, including bodily pain, general health, role emotion and mental health, and a lower utility score in EQ-5D-5L compared to patients in remission. The anti-IFN-γ disease significantly impairs the HRQoL of affected individuals compared to healthy controls. However, effective treatment leading to remission holds promise for improving the HRQoL of patients with Anti-IFN-γ disease.
