PCR225 Quality of Life (QOL)-Related Mentions for Prevalent Diseases on Social Media Platforms in the US
People discuss online the impact of health conditions on their lives. Comparing ‘posts’ across diseases may provide an initial understanding of comparative disease burden on quality of life (QOL). For 8 of the most prevalent conditions in the USA (ischemic heart disease [IHD], low back pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], diabetes mellitus [DM], lung cancer, stroke, depression, migraine), we identified the number of posts focused on QOL, examined the main topics/words used with the QOL term, and explored the proportion of posts with “positive” and “negative” sentiments.
