“…After entering the first step, (14) . These results support the hypothesis that symptom severity and psychological factors (such as mood, depression and anxiety) significantly contribute to HRQOL in HF patients (9)(10)20) . The levels of HRQOL in our study were similar to those found in other patients with HF in Brazil (16,19,21) and in the USA (5,10,14) .…”

“…Given the importance of HRQOL to patients, the adaptation of disease management interventions to support effective self-care of HF in Brazil is a priority (16)(17)24) . Programs to support self-care should include both patients and partners and examine ways to ensure that the many facets of these interventions are accessible and beneficial to patients with very low socioeconomic and educational levels (9,(24)(25) .…”

“…To date, HRQOL during HF has been studied mostly in the United States (7)(8)(9)(10) , Canada (11) Europe (12)(13)(14) and Asia (15) . Due to a lack of studies, little is known about how HF influences HRQOL in South American populations (16)(17) .…”

This descriptive and exploratory study analyzed variables associated with health-related quality of life among 130 outpatients. Health-related quality of life was measured through the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Significant associations were found between patients' health-related quality of life and their age (r=-0.177; p=0.044), vitality (r=-0.625; p=<0.001) as well as mental health (r=-0.672; p=<0.001), which are both SF-36 domains. The linear regression showed that heart failure symptom severity, vitality and mental health explained 54% of HRQOL measurement variation. To control symptoms and preserve good mental well-being are important to maintain health-related quality of life and to deliver effective heart failure care.Descriptors: Heart Failure; Quality of Life; Mental Health; Symptoms.

Foram encontradas associações significantes entre a medida da QVRS e idade (r=-0,177; p=0,044), vitalidade (r=-0,625; p=<0,001) e saúde mental (r=-0,672; p=<0,001), domínios do SF-36. A regressão linear mostrou que a gravidade dos sintomas da insuficiência cardíaca, e dois domínios do SF-36, vitalidade e saúde mental, explicaram 54% da variação da medida da QVRS. Controlar os sintomas e manter bem-estar mental é essencial para a manutenção da QVRS e são essenciais para o cuidado eficaz da insuficiência cardíaca.Descritores: Insuficiência Cardíaca; Qualidade de Vida; Saúde Mental; Sintomas.

“…This may due to physical limitations, recurrent hospitalizations, financial status and the feeling of dependency on family members. This is consistent with the result of prior studies that HF has negative impacts on psychosocial life of the patients [38][39]. In addition, HF interferes to the physical, social status, and increased distress [40].…”

“…Spiritual activities such as faith in God, praying, reading holy books, and listening to music have been shown to have positive impact on HRQoL [39]. Spirituality explained 24% of the difference of HRQoL worldwide in HF patients [53].…”

ImportanceThe bidirectional association between health and financial stability is increasingly recognized.ObjectiveTo describe the association between chronic disease burden and patients’ adverse financial outcomes.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study analyzed insurance claims data from January 2019 to January 2021 linked to commercial credit data in January 2021 for adults 21 years and older enrolled in a commercial preferred provider organization in Michigan.ExposuresThirteen common chronic conditions (cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dementia, depression and anxiety, diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, liver disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, serious mental illness, stroke, and substance use disorders).Main Outcomes and MeasuresAdjusted probability of having medical debt in collections, nonmedical debt in collections, any delinquent debt, a low credit score, or recent bankruptcy, adjusted for age group and sex. Secondary outcomes included the amount of medical, nonmedical, and total debt among individuals with nonzero debt.ResultsThe study population included 2 854 481 adults (38.4% male, 43.3% female, 12.9% unknown sex, and 5.4% missing sex), 61.4% with no chronic conditions, 17.7% with 1 chronic condition, 14.8% with 2 to 3 chronic conditions, 5.4% with 4 to 6 chronic conditions, and 0.7% with 7 to 13 chronic conditions. Among the cohort, 9.6% had medical debt in collections, 8.3% had nonmedical debt in collections, 16.3% had delinquent debt, 19.3% had a low credit score, and 0.6% had recent bankruptcy. Among individuals with 0 vs 7 to 13 chronic conditions, the predicted probabilities of having any medical debt in collections (7.6% vs 32%), any nonmedical debt in collections (7.2% vs 24%), any delinquent debt (14% vs 43%), a low credit score (17% vs 47%) or recent bankruptcy (0.4% vs 1.7%) were all considerably higher for individuals with more chronic conditions and increased with each added chronic condition. Among individuals with medical debt in collections, the estimated amount increased with the number of chronic conditions ($784 for individuals with 0 conditions vs $1252 for individuals with 7-13 conditions) (all P &lt; .001). In secondary analyses, results showed significant variation in the likelihood and amount of medical debt in collections across specific chronic conditions.Conclusions and RelevanceThis cross-sectional study of commercially insured adults linked to patient credit report outcomes shows an association between increasing burden of chronic disease and adverse financial outcomes.
