This study uses utility measurement to assess the preferences of heart failure (HF) patients regarding quality of life or longevity. The utility approach represents the perspective of a patient; facilitates the combination of mortality, morbidity, and treatment regimen into a single score; and makes it possible to compare the effects of different interventions in healthcare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patient preferences of 100 patients with HF were assessed in interviews using the time trade-off (TTO) approach. Health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) was assessed with the EQ-5D and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Patients\u2019 own estimation of life expectancy was assessed with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Of the 100 patients (mean age 70 \u00b1 9 years; 71% male), 61% attach more weight to quality of life over longevity; while 9% and 14% were willing to trade 6 and 12 months, respectively, for perfect health and attach more weight to quality of life. Patients willing to trade time had a significantly higher level of NT-proBNP and reported significantly more dyspnoea during exertion. Predictors of willingness to trade time were higher NT-proBNP and lower EQ VAS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority of HF patients attach more weight to quality of life over longevity. There was no difference between both groups with respect to life expectancy described by the patients. These insights enable open and personalized discussions of patients\u2019 preferences in treatment and care decisions, and could guide the future development of more patient-centred care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjhf\/hft071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,6]],"date-time":"2013-05-06T20:33:42Z","timestamp":1367872422000},"page":"1113-1121","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":140,"title":["Preferences of Heart Failure Patients in Daily Clinical Practice: Quality of Life or Longevity?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Imke H.","family":"Kraai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karin M.","family":"Vermeulen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie Louise A.","family":"Luttik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen, School of Nursing \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tialda","family":"Hoekstra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiny","family":"Jaarsma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Welfare Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Link\u00f6ping University , Link\u00f6ping ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans L.","family":"Hillege","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen \u00a0","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.2188\/jea.12.160","article-title":"Utilities measured by rating scale, time trade-off, and standard gamble: review and reference for health care professionals","volume":"12","author":"Morimoto","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Epidemiol"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/S1071-9164(99)90030-1","article-title":"Patient preferences for heart failure treatment: utilities are valid measures of health-related quality of life in heart failure","volume":"5","author":"Havranek","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Card Fail"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1702","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2008.08.028","article-title":"Changing preferences for survival after hospitalization with advanced heart failure","volume":"52","author":"Stevenson","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1016","DOI":"10.1016\/S1053-2498(01)00298-4","article-title":"Preferences for quality of life or survival expressed by patients with heart failure","volume":"20","author":"Lewis","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Heart Lung Transplant"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"752","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehr404","article-title":"End-of-life preferences of elderly patients with chronic heart failure","volume":"33","author":"Brunner-La Rocca","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"671","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehi731","article-title":"Patients enrolled in coronary intervention trials are not representative of patients in clinical practice: results from the Euro Heart Survey on Coronary Revascularization","volume":"27","author":"Hordijk-Trion","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"key":"2026011921155966200_ejhfhft071-bib-0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"803","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjhf\/hfs105","article-title":"ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure 2012: the Task Force for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Heart Failure 2012 of the European Society of Cardiology.
