Purpose: This study aimed to develop a Quality of Life (QOL) assessment scale for older patients with Neuro-co-Cardiological Diseases (NCCD) and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.
Method: The study participants were derived from the Elderly Individuals with NCCD Registered Cohort Study (EINCCDRCS), a multicenter registry of patients with NCCD. The preliminary testing of the questionnaire was conducted among 10 older individuals aged 65 years and older who had NCCD and were recruited from the registry.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the phenomenon of non-return to work (non-RTW) among patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) over a year following their hospital discharge.
- It uses data from a national study that included 3,873 IHD patients who reported their mental and physical health through various assessment scales.
- Results show that about 38% of patients did not return to work after 12 months, with STEMI patients at the highest risk, indicating the importance of monitoring and supporting these individuals post-discharge to enhance their chances of returning to work.
