“…There are data to support that although the SF-12 is sensitive to changes in physical health dimensions, it may not be responsive enough to detect changes in mental health. 19 Perhaps the lack of responsiveness in the instrument may have accounted for the minimal changes we observed in mental health scores across time in the three groups. The use of a more diseasespecific instrument to measure mental health may have been more appropriate than the SF-12, which was designed for a wide variety of patients and conditions and therefore was not specific for patients with HF.…”

“…The mental health score reflects vitality, social functioning, role limitations caused by emotional problems, and mental health. 19 Martensson and colleagues 20 reported average physical and mental health scores of 34.8 Ϯ 6.8 and 47.3 Ϯ 71, respectively, in their sample. In the U.S. general population, the SF-12 items explained more than 90% of the variance in the SF-36 physical and mental health summary measures.…”

“…The SF-12 measured two distinct components of HRQOL, the physical and mental health domains, similar to that obtained from the 36-item ShortForm (SF-36) health survey. 19 The SF-12 was used by our colleagues in an earlier study to reflect the physical and mental health of patients with HF. 20 The physical health score includes items on physical function, role limitations caused by physical health problems, body pain, and general health.…”

“…Response options are presented as 6-point ordinal scales ranging from 0 (no) to 5 (very much), with a total maximum score of 105 (40 for physical and 25 for emotional health); a lower score indicates better quality of life. 34 Demographic information (ie, age, race, marital status, education, current employment status, and annual income) were obtained through self-reports. Information pertaining to medical history and current clinical status (eg, etiology of heart failure, NYHA class, ejection fraction) were obtained from participants' medical records.…”

Background: We conducted a secondary analysis to (1) compare changes in mood disorders and quality of life (QOL) among 4 groups of patients with heart failure in a home-based exercise program who had varying degrees of change in their exercise capacity and (2) determine whether there was an association between exercise capacity, mood disorders, and QOL. Methods: Seventy-one patients were divided into 4 groups based on changes in exercise capacity from baseline to 6 months: group 1showed improvements of greater than 10% (n = 19), group 2 showed improvements of 10% or less (n = 16), group 3 showed reductions of 10% or less (n = 9), and group 4 showed reductions of greater than 10% (n = 27). Results: Over time, patients in all 4 groups demonstrated significantly lower levels of depression and hostility (P G .001) and higher levels of physical and overall quality of life (P = .046). Group differences over time were noted in anxiety (P = .009), depression (P = .015), physical quality of life (P G .001), and overall quality of life (P = .002). Greater improvement in exercise capacity was strongly associated with lower depression scores (r = j0.49, P = .01). Conclusions: An improvement in exercise capacity with exercise training was associated with a decrease in depression and anxiety and an increase in QOL in patients with heart failure.

Confirmation of repeat procedures and subsequent hospitalizations were assessed and verified by querying the procedural database and hospital records of the Mid America Heart Institute.…”

Impact of obesity on disease-specific health status after percutaneous coronary intervention in coronary disease patients

OBJECTIVE: Several investigators have focused on obesity as a specific risk factor for mortality in patients undergoing bypass surgery, but few have examined it as a risk factor among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). In addition, none have evaluated the impact of obesity on post-PCI quality of life or disease-specific health status. This study examined whether obesity is a risk factor for poor quality of life or diminished health status 12-months postprocedure among a large cohort of PCI patients. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A total of 1631 consecutive PCI patients were enrolled into the study and classified as underweight (BMI o20 kg/m 2 ), normal weight range (BMI Z20 and o25 kg/m 2 ), overweight (BMI Z25 and o30 kg/m 2 ), class I obese (BMI Z30 kg/m 2 ), or class II and III obese (BMI Z35 kg/m 2 ). The 12-month postprocedure outcomes included need for repeat procedure, survival, quality of life and health status, assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the Short Form-12. RESULTS: Obese patients with and without a history of revascularization were significantly younger than overweight, normal weight range, or underweight patients at the time of PCI. However, obese patients demonstrated similar long-term recovery and improved disease-specific health status and quality of life when compared to patients in the normal weight range after PCI. In addition, mortality and risk for repeat procedure was similar to those patients in the normal weight range patients at 12-months postrevascularization. Underweight patients who had no previous history of revascularization reported lower quality of life (F ¼ 3.02; P ¼ 0.018) and poorer physical functioning (F ¼ 2.82; P ¼ 0.024) than other BMI groups. CONCLUSION: Obese patients presenting for revascularization were younger when compared to patients in the normal weight range, regardless of previous history of revascularization. However, weight status was not a significant predictor of differences in long-term disease-specific health status, quality of life, repeat procedures, or survival. Underweight patients demonstrated less improvement in quality of life and physical functioning than other BMI groups.

Comparative responsiveness of Short-Form 12 and Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire in patients with heart failure

Abstract: The LHFQ is more responsive than the SF-12 to changes in QOL. The SF-12 should not be used alone to measure the changes in QOL of patients with heart failure.
