PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF MINNESOTA SURVEY OF QUALITY OF LIFE TOTAL SCORE AND ITS CHANGES DURING TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN THEIR 6 AND 12 MONTHS SURVIVAL

Total score of standardized CHF-specific QOL survey MLHFQ, as well as it changes during treatment allow to foresee in approximation chances for survival in the patients with CHF of III?IV NYHA functional over the following 6 and 12 months of treatment. Total MLHQL score exceeding 72 (HR = 2,64) is an infor-mative predictor of patients' with manifested CHF non-survival over the following 6 months. Total MLHQL score exceeding 69 (HR=2,34) is an informative predictor of patients' with manifested CHF non-survival over the following 12 months. Increase in the total score in > 2,5 is a predictor of patients' with clinically mani¬fested CHF over the following 6 months (HR = 4,97) and 12 months (HR = 3,50).
