Heart failure (HF) influences health-related quality of life. However, the factors that contribute to health-related quality of life remain unclear in Taiwan. We aim to identify the factors influencing health-related quality of life in HF patients.
Hospitalized HF ( = 225) patients were included from April 2011 to April 2014. Health-related quality of life was assessed by using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. A new cut-off was conducted based on the combination of SF-36 and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire.
There were significant differences between good and poor quality groups on age, gender, education levels, occupational classification caregiver, New York Heart Association classes, and the numbers of comorbidities. The logistic regression analysis showed that the number of comorbidities was more than three and New York Heart Association class IV were significantly associated with health-related quality of life.
心力衰竭(HF)会影响与健康相关的生活质量。然而,在台湾,影响与健康相关生活质量的因素仍不明确。我们旨在确定影响心力衰竭患者与健康相关生活质量的因素。
纳入2011年4月至2014年4月期间住院的心力衰竭患者(n = 225)。使用36项简短健康调查(SF-36)和明尼苏达心力衰竭生活问卷评估与健康相关的生活质量。基于SF-36和明尼苏达心力衰竭生活问卷的组合设定了一个新的临界值。
在年龄、性别、教育水平、职业分类照顾者、纽约心脏协会分级以及合并症数量方面,生活质量良好组和较差组之间存在显著差异。逻辑回归分析表明,合并症数量超过三种以及纽约心脏协会IV级与与健康相关的生活质量显著相关。
