STUDY OBJECTIVE: We identify characteristics of @entity1 with @entity955 or @entity5069 associated with favorable assessments of @entity341 ( @entity341 ) effectiveness and 30-day quality of life. METHODS: As part of a prospective observational study of @entity341 management and short-term outcomes of @entity1 with nonvalvular @entity955 or @entity5069 , we adapted a disease-specific quality-of-life instrument. By telephone, we administered the @entity955 Effect on Quality-of-life survey to @entity1 30 days after an @entity341 visit in which they were treated for newly diagnosed or recent-onset @entity955 or @entity5069 and discharged home. We also asked respondents to rate the effectiveness of @entity341 treatment. Using data prospectively collected in the @entity341 and extracted from electronic health records, we recorded rhythm management (cardioversion attempts and type) and @entity1 and @entity341 treatment characteristics. Using multivariable regression, we examined the association between these characteristics and @entity1 -reported effectiveness of @entity341 treatment ("very effective" or not) and any @entity955 or @entity5069 quality-of-life effect. RESULTS: Six hundred fifty-two eligible @entity341 @entity1 (response rate 89%) treated between May 2011 and November 2012 completed follow-up. Of these @entity1 , 454 (69.6%) reported that their @entity341 treatment was "very effective" and 113 (17.3%) reported no quality-of-life influence. In multivariable analyses, there was an association between @entity341 electrocardioversion and perceived @entity341 effectiveness (P<.05) but none between treatment strategy and 30-day @entity955 or @entity5069 quality-of-life score. Respondents who were younger, @entity1 , and had worse pre- @entity341 self-reported health (P<.05) were more likely to report a quality-of-life effect. CONCLUSION: In this observational study, @entity341 rhythm management strategy was associated with greater perceived effectiveness of the @entity341 visit but not with a difference in 30-day quality-of-life score.
