Why the study?
Is psychosocial and cognitive multimorbidity associated with poor health-related quality of life and high symptom burden in older adults with atrial fibrillation?
Is psychosocial and cognitive multimorbidity associated with poor health-related quality of life and high symptom burden in older adults with atrial fibrillation?
Psychosocial and cognitive multimorbidity is associated with worse quality of life and higher symptom burden in older adults with atrial fibrillation, suggesting a potential benefit for routine screening.
Supports multimorbidity assessment in older AF patients; hypothesis-generating for intervention trials.
Psychosocial/cognitive multimorbidity is common among older adults with AF and is associated with poor HRQoL and high symptom burden. Clinicians might consider incorporating psychosocial and cognitive screens into routine care as this may identify a high-risk population.
