    Author: Kolesnikova IIu, Beliaeva GS, Leont'eva VA.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 2005; 83(10):33-6. PubMed ID: 16320843.
    Abstract:
    The article is dedicated to changes in life quality (LQ) and mental status, and to forming of various types of response to the disease in patients with benign and unfavorable course of peptic ulcer (PU). The subjects were 140 patients in acute phase of PU, in 66 of whom the course of the disease was benign, and in 74--unfavorable. In both groups there were patients with low and satisfactory LQ. High level of nervousness was typical of patients with low LQ and benign course of the disease. Patients with satisfactory LQ and unfavorable course of the disease were characterized by minor personality changes, but developed an agnostic response to the disease much more frequently. Reduction of compliance was found mainly in patients with low LQ and an agnostic response; this should be taken into consideration while correcting the therapy.
