Thanos Athanasiou (EDT), Ara Darzi (EDT), Aung Ye Oo (EDT) Patient Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life in Cardiovascular Interventions

Annotation

This book provides a guide to the assessment of patient reported outcomes measures  and quality of life in cardiovascular interventions, which have become a fundamental component of decision making in bedside medicine, health policy, health economics, and public health. Cardiac surgery, cardiovascular interventions, vascular interventions, and the core principles of quality of life are all covered. This book is the first book to demonstrate how clinicians and policy makers can easily get access to a single source of quality of life and patient reported outcomes measures evidence to help them make the best informed decisions in the field of cardiovascular interventions. This is a rapidly emerging field and the book would be relevant to doctors, healthcare scientists, allied-health professionals, healthcare managers, medical statisticians, healthcare economists, and consultants working in healthcare.
