Assessment of outcomes of health intervention

NR2 antibody is associated with quality of life in aortic valve replacement

“…However, in recent years, there has been growing recognition that morbidity and mortality data alone are incomplete measures of outcome following surgery, and that a patient’s own perception of their health is an important aspect of health outcome assessment. 1,2 Improvement in QoL after heart valve surgery has been reported previously. 3,4 Interestingly, concomitant coronary artery bypass surgery does not affect this QoL improvement, 5,6 which is comparable between patients receiving bioprostheses or mechanical aortic valve prostheses and the age-matched general population.…”

Is It Wise to Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth to a Cancer Patient?

“…Many researchers have tried to measure or define the quality of life. Jenkins summarized it as three F's, feelings, function, and future 16 . To my mind this could be functionally translated into three H's, happiness, health, and hope.…”

The Relationship Between Quality of Life and Adherence to Medication in Glaucoma Patients in Singapore

“…14,27,28 In comparison, vision-specific QOL instruments such as The National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire and VF-14 questionnaire were more sensitive in measuring such differences. [27][28][29][30] Gutierrez and colleagues found that greater visual field defects in the better eye were significantly associated with poorer National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire and VF-14 scores. 27 In a study of 607 glaucoma patients at diagnosis in the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study, Janz and colleagues found that patients most frequently reported problems related to bright lights and light and dark adaptation, with almost half of the patients reporting concern or worry about possibility of blindness.…”
