Assessment of disability level and weight of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cases in China

  • ObjectiveTo evaluate the disability level and weight of the sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) cases in China.
    MethodsTwo ways were used to obtain disability weight of the sCJD cases in China. One was Delphi method, another one was the expert assessment of visual analogue scale (VAS).
    ResultsThe mean disability weight of the 180 sCJD patients was 0.920, which was calculated based on the standard disability level obtained by Delphi method. The median disability weight of the sCJD cases from expert assessment of VAS was 0.850.
    ConclusionThe results indicated that the sCJD patients were in poor health with high disability weight. It is necessary to paid special attention to them and strengthen the research in the field of prion diseases to facilitate the prevention and treatment of the disease.
