Implication

Comorbidity assessment may better inform expectations of health gains from angina relief than symptom severity alone; leaves open causal pathways and intervention effects in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

P
Population
55 patients with chronic stable angina with no prior history of a revascularization procedure attending clinic appointments (n = 44) or electively admitted for cardiac catheterization (n = 11) at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
O
Outcome
Relationship between ratings of current health and health free of angina, the anticipated gain, and measures of anginal severity and comorbiditypatient reported

In patients with chronic stable angina, the severity of comorbidity is a stronger predictor of self-rated health and anticipated gain from symptom relief than the severity of angina itself.
