Impact of optimal medical therapy in heart failure certification for hospitalists on guideline-directed medical therapy utilization

Figure 2 Delta change in Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Changes in mean scores across emotional, physical, and total dimensions for the Standard of Care Group (SOC-CG) versus the Intervention Group (IG). The IG showed significantly greater declines in total score (−27.03 ± 24.59 vs −5.85 ± 23.52; P < 0.001) and physical dimension score (−13.80 ± 12.30 vs −2.71 ± 11.16; P < 0.001) compared to the SOC-CG. While the emotional dimension score also declined more in the IG (−4.76 ± 8.10 vs −1.42 ± 5.98), this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.09). IG: Intervention group; SOC-CG: Standard-of-care comparison group.
