Latent profile analysis of health-related quality of life and its associated factors in postoperative aortic dissection patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundAortic dissection (AD) is a rare but dangerous cardiovascular condition, and research on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of postoperative patients after discharge is limited. This study aimed to classify patterns of HRQOL among this population, and to examine the psychological and social factors associated with different HRQOL categories based on the common sense model of self-regulation and the social-cognitive processing model.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary general hospitals in Wuhan from January 2022 to August 2022. HRQOL was assessed via the validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29-item Profile. Characteristic categories of HRQOL were identified through exploratory latent profile analysis. Univariate analysis and multinominal logistic regression were employed to explore the factors associated with HRQOL.
resultsAmong the 379 patients, the mean health utility was 0.36 ± 0.17. A total of 35.4% and 32.5% of the patients had obvious anxiety and depression, respectively. The patients were divided into three HRQOL subgroups: "high psychological distress-pain group" (29.0%), "mild functional impairment-anxiety group" (49.3%), and "mild functional impairment-adaptation group" (21.6%). Significant factors associated with HRQOL included age, AD type, illness cognitive representation, fear of disease progression, daily life management and exercise (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe self-reported health status of postoperative AD patients is concerning. HRQOL within this population displays significant heterogeneity, and stratified care tailored to each group is recommended. Interventions targeting cognitive representations and fear reduction may enhance HRQOL. Continuous care to facilitate self-management behaviors is essential for improving health outcomes for postoperative AD patients. These findings require further longitudinal and interventional studies to confirm.
