The purpose of the study is to evaluate the quality of life of patients with acromegaly and secondary syndrome of the "empty" Turkish saddle using the Acro-Col questionnaire. Material and research methods. On the basis of the department of neuroendocrinology of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Endocrinology of the MZ RUZ named after Acad. Yo.Kh. Turakulova from 2022 to 2023, 70 patients with acromigaly and subts were examined. Of the 70 sick men, there were 43, women - 27. The average age was 48.4 ± 14.8 years. Results. After 3 and 6 months after the treatment, the parameters of the quality of life of patients with acromigaria, estimated using the Acro-Qol questionnaire, increased in all groups (P <0.005), the most reliable in patients in the Tag group. Conclusions. 1. According to our data, depression was found in 1/3 of patients (up to 28%) with acromegaly, correlated with the female sex and anxiety. Both depression and anxiety make a significant and independent contribution to the deterioration of the quality of life of patients. 2) Our study shows that the assessment and monitoring of the psychological status of patients with acroomegalia using the Acro-Col questionnaire are mandatory in acromigaly, and also represents an inexpensive tool for this assessment.
