ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Patient-reported treatment burden (TBN) refers to the patient's time and effort invested in the management of their chronic health conditions. The aim of this research is to explore TBN in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Material and methods:
Consecutive patients with chronic medical condition(s) were invited to fulfil the study questionnaires (TBN and EQ-5D).
Results:
Of 514 enrolled patients, 116 patients (22.6%) had CAD. The mean TBN score for CAD vs. non-CAD was 40.49±21.54 and 46.17±21.44 (p=0.023), respectively.
Conclusions:
Patients with CAD could have a lower TBN in comparison to patients with other chronic medical conditions.
