Determinants of quality of life in older adults with atrial fibrillation: a structural equation modeling analysis.

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: This study aimed to examine the determinants that influence quality of life among older adults diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to explore the direct and indirect pathways between these factors using structural equation modeling (SEM). Methods: A convenience sample of 252 older adults with AF who were admitted to the hospital between August 2023 and August 2024 was included. Data were collected using the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality-of-Life (AFEQT) questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Patients were categorized into high-quality ( Results: Age, monthly income, AF type, New York Heart Association functional classification, treatment adherence, SDS score, SSRS score, and presence of comorbid chronic conditions were identified as independent determinants of quality of life ( Conclusion: Quality of life among older adults with AF was influenced by multiple interrelated factors. Social support, psychological status, and economic circumstances exerted significant combined effects through both direct and indirect pathways. The development of individualized, evidence-based nursing interventions that address these determinants may contribute to improved quality of life and overall health outcomes in this population.
