背景-左心辅助装置(LVAD)改善了许多(但不是所有)终末期心力衰竭患者的生存和生活质量，这些患者不符合移植条件。我们试图使用一种将生活质量与死亡率相结合的新的综合测量来评估不良结局的频率。方法和结果-在INTERMACS(机构间机械辅助循环支持登记)国家登记中，不良结局被定义为死亡或平均堪萨斯城心肌病问卷
Background-A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves survival and quality of life for many, but not all, patients with end-stage heart failure who are ineligible for transplantation. We sought to evaluate the frequency of poor outcomes using a novel composite measure that integrates quality of life with mortality.Methods and Results-Within the INTERMACS (Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support) national registry, poor outcome was defined as death or an average Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire
