1 Foot and Ankle Surgery 14 (2008) infection, and amputation. Clinical observation indicates that Charcot arthropathy may have devastating consequences on the quality of life of neuropathic patients, particularly those with diabetes, and this has been corroborated by recent studies with standardized quality of life surveys [2 4]. The frequency of diabetes-related lower extremity amputation varies between different national and ethnic groups [5 7]. In the Canadian province of Manitoba, the indigenous (Aboriginal) peoples comprise 13.6% of the population [8]. The age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes is 2.86-fold greater in Aboriginal than nonwww.elsevier.com/locate/fas Health related quality of life in patients with Charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle Michael P.

We hypothesized that the quality of life in patients with Charcot arthropathy may be aggravated by Aboriginal ethnicity and rural residence because of limited access to timely specialty healthcare. Methods: Sixty patients with Charcot arthropathy were interviewed with the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey. Results: Mean Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 31 8 points and mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was points. Mean PCS and MCS scores were not affected by gender, ethnicity, residence, or Charcot stage. Mean PCS score was significantly lower in non-employed (unemployed or retired) than employed patients and in patients who did not use alcohol than those who used alcohol; MCS score was not affected by employment status or alcohol use. Conclusions: Charcot arthropathy has a major negative effect on quality of life. The SF-36 survey was sensitive to the physical effects, but not to mental effects, of Charcot arthropathy. # 2007 European Foot and Ankle Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Neuropathy; Health survey; SF Introduction Charcot arthropathy is a condition that affects joints of the foot and ankle in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy, and is manifested by bony fragmentation, fracture, and dislocation resulting in foot deformity, bony prominence, and instability [1].

The frequency of lower extremity amputation in Manitoba is greater in Aboriginal people than the representation of Aboriginal people in the overall population (frequency of amputations: Aboriginal, 16%; non-aboriginal, 84%) [10]. Non-urban residence, especially in remote communities of Manitoba, may contribute to poor outcome because of limited access to specialty health care that may contribute to delay in diagnosis and morbidity [11 15]. We hypothesized that the quality of life in patients with Charcot arthropathy may be aggravated by Aboriginal ethnicity and rural residence because of limited access to timely specialty healthcare. The purpose of this study is to evaluate quality of life of patients with Charcot arthropathy and identify risk factors that may contribute to poor quality of life. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. Subjects All patients who were being treated for Charcot foot and ankle at a tertiary care multispecialty diabetic foot and ankle clinic from July to August, 2002 were approached to participate in the study, and consent was obtained; no patient declined to participate. The study was part of a larger project assessing quality of life associated with diabetic foot problems that was approved by the Health Research Ethics Board of the University of Manitoba Demographics and clinical features Demographic and clinical information was obtained from questions to the patients and review of medical records and radiographic studies. There were 60 patients with Charcot foot and ankle who participated in the study, and the majority demographic characteristics included male gender, Caucasian ethnicity, urban place of residence, and nonemployed status (either unemployed or retired) (Table 1). The majority of patients had type 2 diabetes, insulin treatment, and foot numbness; one third of patients had a history of ulcer (Table 2). The most frequent natural history and anatomic site of Charcot arthropathy were stage 3 (consolidation) [16] and type 1 (Lisfranc) [17], respectively (Table 2) Quality of life assessment The Medical Outcomes Survey (MOS) Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey was administered as previously described, including the 36 items that yielded two summary measures: Physical Health Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Health Component Summary (MCS) [18]. The component summary scales were scored as previously Table 1 Demographic and clinical features of subjects with Charcot arthropathy Feature No. (%) subjects or average a Total no.

Both the PCS and the MCS scales were transformed to have a mean of 50 points and a standard deviation of 10 points, with a possible range of points, in the general United States population [19] Data analysis Statistical analysis was done using database (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC) and statistical (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) software. Both parametric and non-parametric procedures were employed. Chi-squared analysis was performed to analyze categorical variables. Student s one-tailed t-test and analysis of variance were used to compare average values, which were reported as mean standard deviation. Pearson s correlation coefficients were determined to evaluate potential correlation between select variables and SF-36 component scores. Differences between the average PCS and MCS scores of different subgroups of greater than 10 points (on the transformed point scale) were considered clinically meaningful [20]. Significant differences were defined by P 0.05.

Results For all patients surveyed, mean PCS score was significantly lower, and mean MCS was similar, to the mean value of 50 points for the general United States Population [19] (Table 3). Mean PCS and MCS scores were not affected by gender, ethnicity, residence, or Charcot stage (Table 3). Mean PCS score was significantly lower in nonemployed (unemployed or retired) than employed patients and in patients who did not use alcohol than those who used alcohol; MCS score was not affected by employment status or alcohol use (Table 3). Body mass index, diabetes treatment, or presence of numbness had no significant effect on mean PCS or MCS scores (data not shown). There was no significant correlation between selected variables (age, height, weight, diabetes duration, duration of numbness) and the PCS or MCS scores (data not shown). The majority of patients had limitations of varied activities including work or daily activities because of impaired physical or emotional health (Table 4).

Discussion The results demonstrate that Charcot arthropathy has a major effect in decreasing quality of life, evidenced by the low mean PCS score (Table 3) which was significantly less than PCS values for patients with type 2 diabetes (45 points) [19], the general Canadian population (51 points) [21], and the general United States population (50 points) [18]. This confirms the findings of other recent studies using the SF-36 in smaller groups of patients with Charcot arthropathy [2,3] and in a recent larger multicenter study [4]. The mean PCS score in patients with Charcot arthropathy was similar to that in patients with unhealed diabetic foot ulcers (35 points) [22], which underscores the profound physical limitations present in the patient with Charcot arthropathy. However, the

The mean MCS score for patients with Charcot arthropathy was similar (within 10 points) to previously published scores for patients with type 2 diabetes (52 points) [19], the general Canadian population (52 points) [21], the general United States population (50 points) [18], and patients with unhealed diabetic foot ulcers (50 points) [22]. Therefore, the mental component of the SF-36 was not sensitive to the presence of Charcot arthropathy, and recently developed disease-specific surveys may provide a more realistic quantitative measure of the negative emotional effects of the morbidity associated with Charcot arthropathy as demonstrated with diabetic foot ulcers and peripheral neuropathy [23 26]. Limitations of the study include the small sample size, which precluded comparative evaluation of potentially important variables such as treatment methods for Charcot arthropathy [1] and presence of other comorbidities such as kidney and eye disease. The SF-36 survey, which is a general health survey, has previously been shown to be sensitive to the development of diabetic renal and neuropathic complications [27], increased symptom severity in diabetes [28], and the number of complications in type 2 diabetic patients treated with insulin [29]. However, the SF-36 may be less sensitive than disease-specific questionnaires [23 26,29] and less able than diabetes-specific health surveys to screen out differences due to non-diabetic comorbidities [30]. Furthermore, a follow-up survey may be useful in determining responsiveness to treatment [31] such as reconstruction of deformity [32].
