CONTEXT: Patients with acromegaly (PWA) experience balance issues, despite achieving biochemical remission, that may significantly impair their quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the prevalence of falls and balance self-confidence in PWA in comparison with a control group. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of joint pain and function as predictors for their balance self-confidence.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional, case-controlled.
SETTING: Tertiary care centers.
PARTICIPANTS: In this case-control study, we surveyed PWA (n = 94) and nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (PNA; n = 82) with similar age, sex, and body mass index from two Canadian centers.
INTERVENTION(S): None.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Data were obtained on number of falls during the past 12 months, self-confidence to maintain balance, joint pain, joint surgery, pain medication usage, and upper and lower extremity musculoskeletal disability.
RESULTS: While both PWA and PNA had a similarly high risk of falls, PWA had lower self-confidence to maintain balance (P < .01). Patients with acromegaly had higher joint pain scores and more functional impairment in upper extremity, hip, knee, and ankle joints (all P < .01). In both groups, age, sex, and ankle functional score were predictors of balance self-confidence. For PWA, hip functional score was also a predictor of balance self-confidence in contrast to knee and back pain scores being predictors for the PNA group.
CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed an increased prevalence of falls in both groups with diminished balance confidence in PWA. This reduced balance self-confidence seems to be related to their increased hip functional impairment in comparison with PNA.
