Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the clinical care pathways, management and treatment patterns, and hospitalizations for patients with heart failure (HF) in China.
Subjects And Methods: A cross-sectional survey of cardiologists and their patients with HF was conducted. Patient record forms were completed by 150 cardiologists for 10 consecutive patients.
Purpose: Family and friends play a pivotal role in caring for patients with heart failure (HF); however, evidence of the impact of caregiving is limited. The objectives of this study were to describe the burden of caregiving on informal caregivers of patients with chronic HF in China.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey of cardiologists, their patients with HF, and those patients' caregivers was conducted.
Purpose: Little evidence exists on the burden that chronic heart failure (HF) poses specifically to patients in China. The objective of this study, therefore, was to describe the burden of HF on patients in China.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey of cardiologists and their patients with HF was conducted.
Background: Supporting health care sector decisions using time-dependent endpoints (TDEs) such as time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), and event-free survival (EFS) remains controversial. This study estimated the quantitative relationship between median TDE and median overall survival (OS) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.
Methods: Studies (excluding allogeneic transplantation) published from 1970 to 2011 were systematically searched (PubMed).
