Background: There is limited research and conflicting results on the mental health and health-related quality of life of individuals surgically treated for hypospadias in childhood. Furthermore, the significance of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in hypospadias is growing. More research is necessary on these topics, particularly in adolescents.

Background: In light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, whether functional status and heart failure-related quality of life (HF-QOL) correlate with cardiomyopathy severity, improve with therapy, and are associated with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) beyond validated scores is not well-known.
Objectives: The authors aimed to: 1) correlate functional status and HF-QOL with cardiomyopathy severity; 2) analyze their longitudinal changes; and 3) assess their independent associations with MACE.
Methods: This study included 106 participants with AL amyloidosis, with 81% having AL cardiomyopathy.
