Abstract

Patient-reported treatment burden (TBN) refers to the patient's time and effort invested in the management of their chronic health conditions. The aim of this research was to explore TBN in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Consecutive patients with chronic medical condition(s) were invited to complete the study questionnaires (TBN and EQ-5D). Of 514 enrolled patients, 116 (22.6%) patients had CAD. The mean TBN score for CAD vs. non-CAD was 40.49 ±21.54 and 46.17 ±21.44 (p = 0.023), respectively. Patients with CAD could have a lower TBN in comparison to patients with other chronic medical conditions.
