PY - 2020 DA - 2020/08/03 TI - Impact of hospitalisation on health-related quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure JO - Health and Quality of Life Outcomes SP - 262 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Empirical identification of the direct impact of hospitalisation in the change in utility could provide an interpretation for some of the unexplained variance in quality of life responses in clinical practice and clinical trials and provide assistance to researchers in assessing the impact of a hospitalisation in the context of economic evaluations. This study had the goal of determining the impact of nonfatal hospitalisations on the quality of life of a cohort of patients previously diagnosed with heart failure by using their quality of life measurements before and after hospitalisation.
