Background/Objectives: Cardiac arrhythmias impact quality of life (QoL) and are often linked to psychological distress. This study examines the relationship between QoL, depression, using AI-assisted analysis enhance patient management. Methods: A total 145 patients with were assessed an SF-36 health survey a PHQ-9 questionnaire (depression). Statistical analyses included regression, clustering, AI-based models such as K-means logistic regression identify risk factors subgroups. Results: Patients comorbidities had lower QoL higher depression scores. scores negatively correlated mental components. clustering identified distinct subgroups, older individuals those longer disease duration exhibiting lowest QoL. Logistic predicted 93% accuracy, XGBoost achieved AUC 0.97. Conclusions: plays key role in arrhythmia management, significantly influencing outcomes. AI-driven predictive offer personalized interventions, improving early detection treatment. Future research should integrate wearable technology monitoring optimize care.

Background: Angioedema (AE) is a localized, non-pitting swelling affecting subcutaneous and/or submucosal tissues. Despite varying underlying mechanisms, AE significantly impacts patients' quality of life (QoL), which closely linked to disease activity and control. Objectives: This study aimed translate linguistically validate the angioedema score (AAS), control test (AECT), (AE-QoL) questionnaires into Latvian, use these validated tools assess activity, control, within population. Methods: PROMs, including AECT, AAS, AE-QoL, underwent standardized linguistic validation process. Patients with hereditary (HAE), mast cell-mediated (AE-MC), unknown origin (AE-UNK) were recruited from two separate studies conducted at Riga Stradiņš University. Results: We enrolled 41 participants (90.2% women) mean age 46.3 years. AE-MC was most common (63.4%), followed by HAE (19.5%) AE-UNK (17.1%). The AAS 15.8, no significant differences regarding type, gender, or age. AECT 8.29, revealing gender (women: 7, men: 13.5). AE-QoL total 45.5, in domains. Strong correlations found between scores both highlighting impact on QoL. Conclusions: Latvian adaptation effectively assesses disease-related Our reveals poor underscoring need for tailored interventions regular PROM evaluations, version questionnaire identifying five distinct domains compared four original version.

Maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) has emerged as a primary treatment modality in individuals with end-stage kidney disease. However, not only affects physiological well-being but also significantly influences patients' social engagement and quality of life. Consequently, investigating the present status repercussions on participation among undergoing MHD evolved crucial area research. This study aimed to investigate current patients analyse influencing factors, providing theoretical basis for clinical intervention. cross-sectional utilised convenience sampling method select 441 maintenance at seven tertiary hospitals Lianyungang between January May 2024 survey participants. The employed general information questionnaire along several assessment tools, including Chinese version Impact Participation Autonomy; Social Support Rating Scale; Hospital Anxiety Depression Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue; Medical Outcomes Study Health Status Short Form. Patients renal disease aged ≥ 18 years 3 months were included. Those other severe illnesses, psychiatric disorders, personality or inability cooperate excluded. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used identify factors patients. total score 54. Multiple indicated that, based International Classification Functioning, Disability, framework, scores depression, support, age, fatigue scale, smoking history, employment main (P < 0.05). level moderate need enhancement. Healthcare providers should prioritise older, unemployed improve their life by addressing issues such fatigue, enhancing support.
