背景：生活质量（QoL）与生存率之间的关系研究甚少。本研究的目的是确定生活质量评分作为晚期慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者前瞻性队列预后因素的价值。方法：采用通用问卷：杜克健康概况（DHP）和疾病特异性工具：明尼苏达心力衰竭患者生活问卷（liffe）对EPICAL项目登记的108例患者（NYHA III/IV级定义为严重心力衰竭的住院患者，水肿或低血压，LVEF）进行生活质量评估
Background: The relationship between quality of life (QoL) and survival have been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the value of QoL score as a prognostic factor in a prospective cohort of patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: QoL assessment was performed with a generic questionnaire: the Duke Health Profile (DHP) and a disease-specific instrument: the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (LIhFE), in a sample of 108 patients registered in the EPICAL program (hospitalised patients with severe CHF defined by a NYHA grade III/IV, oedema or hypotension, and LVEF
