AB  - BACKGROUND: Social status may impact health-related quality of life (HRQOL), 
      hospitalization, and mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). PURPOSE: To 
      determine if social status was associated with HRQOL and event-free survival. 
      HYPOTHESES: Higher social status (quality of perceived support, emotional 
      support, marital status, and economic status) is related to better HRQOL and 
      event-free survival after controlling covariates (New York Heart Association 
      [NYHA] functional class, comorbidity status, and age). METHODS: Patients (N = 
      147, 61 +/- 11 years old, 70% male, 62% NYHA class III/IV) provided data on HRQOL 
      (measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire) and social 
      status. Event-free survival data were collected by medical record reviews and 
      patient or family interviews. Hierarchical regression analysis and survival 
      analysis were used to test the hypothesis. RESULTS: Better quality of perceived 
      support, better economic status, better functional status, older age, and less 
      comorbidity were related to better HRQOL (R2 = .365, p = <.001). Only economic 
      status predicted event-free survival. CONCLUSION: Attention should be given to 
      those who have lower social support to improve HRQOL and those who have lower 
      economic status to improve event-free survival.
