NYHA classification deterioration and quality of life in heart failure inpatients: A chain mediation analysis of cognitive impairment and depression
Background
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key indicator of the prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients. Although the association between the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and HRQoL has been widely recognized, the underlying mechanisms of this association have not been fully elucidated.
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms in NYHA class and HRQoL in HF patients.
Methods
We used a convenience sampling method to select HF patients hospitalized between December 2023 and April 2024 in China. General information, NYHA class, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, and HRQoL were assessed. We conducted mediated effects analyses using the "Bruce" package in the R software.
Results
A total of 313 HF patients were included in this study. The HRQoL scores of the patients were 62.60 ± 13.94. NYHA class, cognitive impairment, and depressive symptoms were positively correlated with the HRQoL scores. Mediation effect analysis showed that the mediation effects of cognitive impairment, depressive symptoms, and the combination of the two between NYHA class and HRQoL were 0.059, 0.119, and 0.044, accounting for 9.08 %, 18.30 %, and 6.77 % of the total effect, respectively.
Conclusion
NYHA class in HF patients directly and indirectly impacts HRQoL through cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms. Healthcare providers should prioritize joint assessment of cognitive function and depression symptoms, implementing comprehensive interventions to mitigate NYHA class effects on HRQoL.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
