Quality of Life Trajectory and Its Mediators in Older Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Receiving a Multi-Domain Rehabilitation Intervention: Results From the Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As patients with heart failure experience worsening of their condition, including acute decompensated heart failure, quality of life deteriorates. However, the trajectory of quality of life changes and their determinants in the context of the Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients trial physical rehabilitation intervention are unknown.

Methods

Patients ≥60 years old admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (n=349) were randomized to either attention control or intervention. Quality of life outcomes (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire; 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey) were measured at baseline (inpatient), 1 month, and 3 months. Intervention effects were assessed using linear mixed effects regression, including covariates to model
