Feasibility of a Multidomain Resiliency Assessment in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure Requiring Surgery: A Pilot Study.
Article in Physical therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe resiliency of patients who have advanced heart failure (HF) and undergo a physical stressor such as heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation has yet to be studied in the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains. The primary aim of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of a multidomain resiliency assessment in patients who have advanced HF and require surgery.
methodsA battery of assessments in each of the domains was completed at baseline before surgical intervention, after intensive care discharge, and 3 and 6 months after surgery. Feasibility was assessed through completion rates, time required to complete the assessments, and qualitative feedback from assessors.
resultsAlthough various completion rates were noted at different time points, high completion rates were seen for grip strength, the modified Fried frailty phenotype, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Additionally, when controlled for patients who were medically restricted from physical function, the Short Physical Performance Battery, gait speed, and the 30-second chair stand test also had high completion rates. A trend toward return to baseline status or an improvement in baseline status was observed in all physical and cognitive assessments and most psychosocial assessments at 3 and 6 months. Minimal change was noted in the Brief Resilience Scale questionnaire.
conclusionThis pilot study demonstrates that a multidomain assessment of resiliency is feasible in patients with advanced HF. Future studies are needed to help determine specific assessments or patient factors that would help predict positive postsurgical outcomes in this population. IMPACT: This study has implications for clinical practice on the most feasible assessments in multiple domains for patients who have advanced HF and are being evaluated for heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device.
