This study aims to explore the sociodemographic differences in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Vietnamese patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).<jats:italic> Methods<\/jats:italic>. A cross-sectional survey of 600 cardiovascular disease patients (300 inpatients and 300 outpatients) being treated at the Hanoi Heart Hospital was completed between July and December 2016. Data about HRQOL were collected by using the EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) and EuroQOL-visual analogue scale (VAS). Sociodemographic characteristics were collected. A multivariate Tobit regression was used to detect the correlations between HRQOL and sociodemographic factors.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. Our sample had an average EQ-5D index of 0.82 (SD=0.21) and VAS score of 77.8 (SD=13.6). Participants were most likely to report problems in pain\/discomfort (38.8%) and anxiety\/depression (35.2%) and were least likely to report problems related to self-care (19.8%). Age and sex were strongly associated with the EQ-5D index and the VAS. Having health insurance and the number of hospital visits were negatively associated with HRQOL, while participation in the chronic disease management program had the positive relationship.<jats:italic> Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. HRQOL among patients with CVD was moderately lower compared to the Vietnamese general population. Sociodemographic characteristics were strongly associated with HRQOL suggesting that addressing these inequalities should be prioritized in delivering services. Patients should also be encouraged to participate in the chronic disease management program due to its positive effects on quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/2643814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]],"date-time":"2018-09-26T19:33:50Z","timestamp":1537990430000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health-Related Quality of Life among Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7827-8449","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bach Xuan","family":"Tran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam"},{"name":"Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mackenzie PI","family":"Moir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of Alberta, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thao Phuong Thi","family":"Thai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Planning and Department of Cardiology, Friendship Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Long Hoang","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Excellence in Behavioral Medicine, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giang Hai","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Global Health Innovations, Duy Tan University, Da Nang, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thu Hong Thi","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hanoi Heart Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nu Thi","family":"Truong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Excellence in Behavioral Medicine, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carl A.","family":"Latkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.114.005446"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1151","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)32152-9","volume":"390","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)30506-2"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)17018-9"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neubiorev.2016.05.004"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijcard.2016.05.066"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e292","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(18)30031-7","volume":"6","year":"2018","journal-title":"The Lancet Global Health"},{"key":"8","year":"2016"},{"key":"9","volume":"3","year":"2006","journal-title":"Preventing Chronic Disease.
