What factors influence the evolution of health-related quality of life and symptom severity over time in patients with pulmonary hypertension?
Patients with pulmonary hypertension experience persistent high levels of symptom severity and impaired HRQoL over time, with depression, dyspnea, and oxygen use being significant predictors of diminished HRQoL.

Depression and dyspnoea predict poorer HRQoL in pulmonary hypertension; this observational finding leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Yorke et al. (2018) studied this question.
