摘要

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults hospitalized with heart failure. A total of 210 patients (mean age 80.99 ± 8.32 years; 65.24% female) participated in the study. The standardized EQ-5D-5 L questionnaire was used as the main instrument to assess HRQoL.The average health status assessment on the EQ VAS scale in the study group of patients was 56.03 ± 18.81. Patients reported the greatest mobility problems, with 25.71% of them having severe walking problems and 7.62% of patients being unable to walk. 22.39% of respondents had serious problems with performing everyday activities or were unable to perform them at all. Nearly one fifth of patients experienced severe or extreme pain or discomfort (19.05%). Physical activity turned out to have a significant impact on motor skills (p < 0.001), self-care (p < 0.001), usual activities (p < 0.001) and anxiety/depression (p = 0.001). In conclusion, the quality of life of older patients hospitalized due to HF is reduced compared to the general population. The most prominent issues are pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. A number of socioeconomic factors influence the quality of life of patients with HF.
