Patient-reported treatment burden (TBN) refers to the patient's time and effort invested in the management of their chronic health conditions. The aim of this research was to explore TBN in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Consecutive patients with chronic medical condition(s) were invited to complete the study questionnaires (TBN and EQ-5D).
Of 514 enrolled patients, 116 (22.6%) patients had CAD. The mean TBN score for CAD vs. non-CAD was 40.49 ±21.54 and 46.17 ±21.44 ( = 0.023), respectively.
Patients with CAD could have a lower TBN in comparison to patients with other chronic medical conditions.
患者报告的治疗负担(TBN)是指患者在管理其慢性健康状况时投入的时间和精力。本研究的目的是探讨冠状动脉疾病(CAD)患者的治疗负担。
连续邀请患有慢性疾病的患者完成研究问卷(治疗负担问卷和EQ-5D问卷)。
在514名登记患者中,116名(22.6%)患有CAD。CAD患者与非CAD患者的平均治疗负担得分分别为40.49±21.54和46.17±21.44(P = 0.023)。
与其他慢性疾病患者相比,CAD患者的治疗负担可能更低。
