Task: Intent Identification
Input (English): Self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQL) and changes in HRQL have been shown to predict mortality and/or adverse events in patients with coronary artery disease. MacNew Heart Disease HRQL questionnaire scores were examined as predictors of 4-year all-cause mortality.', 'Following referral for angioplasty in 385 patients with coronary artery disease, data were analyzed for differences in all-cause mortality by MacNew Global and subscale baseline and 1- and 3-month change scores (deteriorated ≥0.50; unchanged (-0.49 to +0.49); and improved ≥0.50 points).', 'Mean baseline, 1-month, and 3-month MacNew Global and subscale scores were similar in survivors and non-survivors. Mean 1- and 3-month Global and emotional subscale and mean 1-month social subscale change scores decreased more in non-survivors than survivors. Compared with patients whose Global MacNew HRQL scores improved at one month, 4-year all-cause mortality hazard ratio (HR) was higher in patients whose HRQL deteriorated (HR, 1.70, 95% CI, 1.09, 2.65; p=0.021). Compared with patients whose Global MacNew HRQL improved at three months, 4-year all-cause mortality was higher in both patients whose HRQL had deteriorated (HR, 2.07, 95% CI, 1.29, 3.32; p=0.003) and patients with unchanged HRQL (HR, 2.62, 95% CI, 1.11, 6.17; p=0.028).
