Health-related quality of life and associated factors among individuals with heart failure attending public hospitals in Nekemte town, Western Oromia, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

Heart failure has a significant impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL), affecting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Understanding HRQOL in this population is crucial for guiding patient-centered care and improving outcomes.
