A Longitudinal Study of the Association of Awareness of Disease Incurability with Patient-Reported Outcomes in Heart Failure
Our 24-mo study with heart failure patients showed an increase from 52% to 76% in patients being aware of disease incurability.Compared with being unaware of disease incurability, being aware was associated with higher emotional well-being, while uncertainty about disease incurability was associated with poorer spiritual well-being.
