HEART AND LUNG FAILURE, TRANSPLANTOLOGY Low health-related quality of life is a predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with chronic nonischemic heart failure

Abstract: IntroductionThe need to indentify patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) at a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) has become increasingly important; therefore, new parameters, such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL), are gaining ground.The aim of this studyThe aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for MACEs, with a special emphasis on HRQoL in chronic non-ischemic heart failure (NIHF) patients.Material and methodsThis prospective study enrolled 271 hospitalized pa… Show more

“…Regarding the predictive ability of SF-36 for CHD morbidity, there are some studies on patients with, for example, heart failure and diabetes. These studies show that low scores on SF-36 is predictive of future coronary events [12,13]. Studies regarding the predictive power of the scales of SF-36 on incident CHD in a middle-aged general population are scarce.…”

“…An individual’s perception of a decline health is recognised as a predictor of later poor health outcomes for that individual, as assessed by ‘hard’ measures such as hospitalisation or mortality 3. Demographic and socioeconomic factors can have large effects on HRQoL with significant disparities among subgroups 4.…”

“…Particularmente neste estudo, a má condição física e emocional dos pacientes interfere negativamente nas suas vidas. Estes achados foram compatíveis com a literatura revisada (SOARES; ZEHETMEYR; ROBUSKE, 2017;SZYGUŁA-JURKIEWICZ et al, 2014;FASSBINDER et al, 2015).…”
