“…The age distribution of our study participants was similar to that reported in other studies investigating patients with CAD (10,(13)(14)(15)(16)22) . There was a greater proportion of men in our sample, which was also reported in other studies of HRQoL in patients with heart disease (10,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(22)(23) .…”

“…This same impairment was also seen in other studies, but their mean scores were higher than those found in the present study (13)(14) . However, another Brazilian study on coronary patients reported a mean score of 19 among female patients (16) , well below the mean score found in our study.…”

“…Based on a literature search and our clinical experience, we decided to explore the following question: are there any differences in HRQoL in patients admitted for the first time due to ACS (AMI and UA) according to gender and prior treatment for any other cardiovascular condition? Some studies have reported lower scores of HRQoL among women with CAD (6,8,11,13,16) and other cardiovascular conditions (14) .…”

“…Their assessments of HRQoL have been largely based on the Medical Outcomes Study: 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and researchers have conducted these assessments at different time points after first hospital admission due to CAD (7,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . However, there are scarce studies using a retrospective approach that assess HRQoL during the first hospital admission, and the few studies available have focused on patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (10) Few Brazilian studies have been conducted on HRQoL in CAD patients (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) .…”

This study aimed to investigate health-related quality of life based on the four weeks antecedent to first admission for acute coronary syndrome and describe potential associations between quality of life, gender and prior treatment for any other cardiovascular condition. An exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two public hospitals in an inner state city of the State of São Paulo. Of 253 participants studied, 69.2% were male, 69.6% were married or living with a partner, and 58.1% were professionally active before the current hospital admission. Mean age was 57.9 years old. Higher scores were seen in the Social Functioning ( x =86.1) domain, while the domain perceived as more compromised was Role Physical ( x =57.7). Female participants and those who had previously been treated for any other cardiovascular condition had lower quality of life, and these differences were all statistically significant (p<0.05). Calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de sujetos internados, como consecuencia del primer síndrome coronario agudoEl objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud, basada en las últimas cuatro semanas que antecedieron a la primera internación, por un síndrome coronario agudo, y describir potenciales asociaciones entre la calidad de vida, sexo y tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares. Como método, se utilizó el estudio descriptivo y exploratorio, de tipo transversal, realizado en dos hospitales públicos en el interior del Estado de Sao Paulo. De los 253 sujetos estudiados, 69,2% eran hombres, 69,6% casados, o vivían con un compañero, y 58,1% eran profesionalmente activos antes de la internación. La edad promedio fue de 57,9 años. Los mayores puntajes obtenidos fueron en el dominio aspectos sociales ( x =86,1), en cuanto el dominio más comprometido fue aspectos físicos ( x =57,7). Se concluye que las mujeres, así como los sujetos que ya hacían tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares, presentaron peor calidad de vida, y las diferencias fueron todas estadísticamente significativas (p<0,05).

Missing data are a common problem in clinical and epidemiological research, especially in longitudinal studies. Despite many methodological advances in recent decades, many papers on clinical trials and epidemiological studies do not report using principled statistical methods to accommodate missing data or use ineffective or inappropriate techniques. Two refined techniques are presented here: generalized estimating equations (GEEs) and weighted generalized estimating equations (WGEEs). These techniques are an extension of generalized linear models to longitudinal or clustered data, where observations are no longer independent. They can appropriately handle missing data when the missingness is completely at random (GEE and WGEE) or at random (WGEE) and do not require the outcome to be normally distributed. Our aim is to describe and illustrate with a real example, in a simple and accessible way to researchers, these techniques for handling missing data in the context of longitudinal studies subject to dropout and show how to implement them in R. We apply them to assess the evolution of health-related quality of life in coronary patients in a data set subject to dropout. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modelling the cost-effectiveness of person-centred care for patients with acute coronary syndrome

Background Person-centred care has been shown to be cost-effective compared to usual care for several diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, in a short-term time perspective (< 2 years). The cost-effectiveness of person-centred care in a longer time perspective is largely unknown. Objectives To estimate the mid-term cost-effectiveness of person-centred care compared to usual care for patients (< 65) with acute coronary syndrome, using a 2-year and a 5-year time perspective. Methods The mid-term cost-effectiveness of person-centred care compared to usual care was estimated by projecting the outcomes observed in a randomized-controlled trial together with data from health registers and data from the scientific literature, 3 years beyond the 2-year follow-up, using the developed simulation model. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed using Monte Carlo simulation. Results Person-centred care entails lower costs and improved effectiveness as compared to usual care, for a 2-year time and a 5-year perspective. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the likelihoods of the person-centred care being cost-effective compared to usual care were between 80 and 99% and between 75 and 90% for a 2-year and a 5-year time perspective (using a 500,000 SEK/QALY willingness-to-pay threshold). Conclusions Person-centred care was less costly and more effective compared to usual care in a 2-year and a 5-year time perspective for patients with acute coronary syndrome under the age of 65.

Changes in health related quality of life 3 months after an acute coronary syndrome

Abstract: Background: The aim of the study was to identify the changes in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) 3 months after discharge from hospital, in patients who have had an acute coronary episode, and to determine the clinical and sociodemographic variables that explain those changes.
