11. How to create and analyze a Heart Failure Registry with emphasis on Anemia and Quality of Life
Sammanfattning : Background and aimsHeart failure (HF) is a major cause of serious morbidity and death in the population and one of the leading medical causes of hospitalization among people older than 60 years. The aim of this thesis was to describe how to create and how to analyze a Heart Failure Registry with emphasis on Anemia and Quality of Life. LÄS MER
