Abstract

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and progressive condition that significantly impacts patients’ lives, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing their health outcomes. Among these factors, symptom perception, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and predicted survival are paramount. This study aimed to assess symptom perception, HRQoL and predictive survival among HF patients.

Methods

A baseline analysis was carried out in a randomized controlled trial involving patients with HF. Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale to assess symptom perception, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 to assess HRQoL and Seattle Heart Failure Model to assess predicted survival were used.

Results

Among the 160 patients, 62.5 % were between 36 and 59 years of age and were married (88 %). Hypertension and diabetes were reported in 104 and 94 participants respectively, and among them, 65 participants had both hypertension and diabetes. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 33(%), and 56.5 % of the participants were in New York Heart Association functional class III and IV. The average symptom perception score was 27.4 ± 18.3, while the mean HRQoL score was 37.2 ± 14.2. The predicted one-year survival score was 80 ± 11.5, and the predicted five-year survival score was 38.5 ± 21.3. HRQoL showed a significant negative correlation with symptom perception (r = −0.75; p = 0.001) and a positive correlation with one-year survival (r = 0.53; p = 0.001), and five-year survival (r = 0.56; p = 0.001).

Conclusion

Patients with HF experience persistent symptoms and poor HRQoL. Symptom severity decreases HRQoL. Understanding HRQoL and symptom perception is crucial for developing effective self-care interventions, which are vital for improving patient outcomes and managing HF effectively.

心力衰竭患者的症状感知、健康相关生活质量和预测生存率
背景心力衰竭(HF)是一种慢性进展性疾病,对患者的生活有很大影响,因此有必要全面了解影响其健康状况的因素。在这些因素中,症状感知、健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)和预测生存率至关重要。本研究旨在评估高血压患者的症状感知、健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)和预测生存率。采用心力衰竭躯体感知量表评估症状感知,堪萨斯城心肌病问卷调查-12评估心率质生活,西雅图心力衰竭模型评估预测生存率。结果160名患者中,62.5%年龄在36至59岁之间,已婚(88%)。104人患有高血压,94人患有糖尿病,其中65人同时患有高血压和糖尿病。平均左心室射血分数为 33%,56.5% 的参与者属于纽约心脏协会功能分级 III 级和 IV 级。平均症状感知评分为(27.4 ± 18.3)分,平均 HRQoL 评分为(37.2 ± 14.2)分。预测的一年生存率为(80 ± 11.5)分,预测的五年生存率为(38.5 ± 21.3)分。HRQoL 与症状感知呈显著负相关(r = -0.75;p = 0.001),与一年生存率(r = 0.53;p = 0.001)和五年生存率(r = 0.56;p = 0.001)呈正相关。症状严重程度会降低患者的 HRQoL。了解患者的 HRQoL 和症状感知对于制定有效的自我护理干预措施至关重要,这对于改善患者预后和有效管理 HF 至关重要。
