Longitudinal assessment of health-related quality of life in patients with adult congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery.

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
Objective: The study objective was to assess longitudinal postoperative health-related quality of life among patients with adult congenital heart disease facilitated by a novel electronic medical record-based patient-reported outcomes follow-up platform. Methods: From January 2022 to October 2023, 559 patients with adult congenital heart disease underwent cardiac surgery; 491 (88%) completed a 23-element health-related quality of life questionnaire covering 3 domains (physical, mental, and social) yielding 911 assessments. Automated questionnaires via electronic medical record were sent at 7 days preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Nonlinear multiphase mixed effects models and boosting approach using multivariate trees were used to assess longitudinal trends and the relationship among patient characteristics, clinical variables, and health-related quality of life outcomes. Results: Mean age of patients was 53 years (range, 19-86), 238 (43%) were female, 109 (20%) were STAT category 3 or 4, postoperative mortality was 0, and stroke was 4 (0.7%). Diagnosis included hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (276, 50%), anomalous coronary artery (42, 7.5%), congenital aortic valve disease (42, 7.5%), bicuspid aortic valve (64, 12%), and aortic aneurysm (25, 4.5%). Although baseline health-related quality of life scores were below population norms, rapid postoperative increases were seen in physical, mental, and social scores, surpassing population norms between 2 and 6 months. Patients with higher baseline health-related quality of life had higher longitudinal scores. Female patients and those of Black race had higher Area Deprivation Index and lower postoperative physical health-related quality of life scores. Conclusions: Patients with adult congenital heart disease require lifelong medical surveillance and repeated interventions. Our innovative electronic medical record-embedded time-series tool assessing health-related quality of life after cardiac surgery shows improved patient-reported outcomes across mental, physical, and social domains that endure through at least the first postoperative year.
