Predictors of subjective health status 10 years post-PCI
2016, IJC Heart and VasculatureCitation Excerpt :The clinical end point was defined as poor subjective health status at 10-year follow-up. As recommended by others [9,24], to enhance clinical interpretability, we dichotomized the health status sub domains into: poor health status (i.e. the lowest tertile) versus good health status (i.e. the other two tertiles). Discrete variables were compared with the χ2 test and continuous variables with Student t test.

2014, JACC: Heart FailureCitation Excerpt :Previous studies have shown variable changes in HRQL in the first few months post-MI, with some patients experiencing decreased physical functioning (9,26), some having no significant changes (12), and others noting improved physical health (8,10,27,28). In addition to the well-established factors that influence changes in HRQL post-MI, such as persistence of angina or dyspnea (26), depression (5,8,12), revascularization (11), and optimism regarding prognosis with adjustment to their disease (13), the occurrence of these nonfatal events may be another important factor affecting change scores. There are a few key implications of our findings.
