Structured PICO

Does cognitive impairment predict poor self-care in patients with heart failure?

Population

Patients with heart failure

Intervention

Screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI)

Outcome

Self-care decisions / failed self-care

Screening for mild cognitive impairment may help identify heart failure patients at greater risk of failed self-care.

Abstract

Cognitive impairment, a hidden co-morbidity, may impede patients' ability to make appropriate self-care decisions. Screening for MCI may alert health professionals to those at greater risk of failed self-care.
