Are changes in patient-reported outcomes (KCCQ) associated with subsequent clinical events in patients with chronic heart failure?
Small changes in patient-reported health status (KCCQ) are predictive of future clinical risk in chronic heart failure.
In patients with heart failure, small changes in KCCQ are associated with changing future risk, but more research will be necessary to understand how different magnitudes of improving health status affect outcomes.
