Mean clinician estimates were higher than patient reported utility (0.60 vs 0.54; p = 0.008), with significant underestimation of reported problems apparent in three of the five EQ-5D-5L domains. Patient sex (female), depressed mood and frailty were all associated with an increased inter-rater gap.Conclusion: Clinicians in this sample overestimated HRQoL. Factors affecting the inter-rater gap, including sex and depression, support formal HRQoL screening to enhance clinical conversations and decision making. The discrepancy also supports regulatory restriction on the use of expert opinion in the development of QALYs in health economic analysis.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 12:55:55 AEDT ]]> Can a heart failure-specific cardiac rehabilitation program decrease hospitalizations and improve outcomes in high-risk patients? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10475 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:16 AEDT ]]> Acute heart failure admissions in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory: the NSW HF Snapshot Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29321 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:23 AEDT ]]> Comparison of six frailty instruments in adults with heart failure: a prospective cohort pilot study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50832 Fri 18 Aug 2023 10:34:35 AEST ]]> Facilitating needs-based support and palliative care for people with chronic heart failure: preliminary evidence for the acceptability, inter-rater reliability, and validity of a needs assessment tool https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20126 Fri 10 Mar 2023 18:52:55 AEDT ]]>
