Population: Patient's with non missing KCCQ data

Change from baseline in quality of life (QoL) as measured using the KCCQ-12 score. Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) is a validated tool used to assess heart failure and how it affects the participant's life. Four domain scores and one summary score are generated from the KCCQ-12: Physical Limitation Score, Symptom Frequency Score, Quality of Life Score, Social Limitation Score and a Summary Score. Scale ranges for each question 1 to 6 (Extremely limited 1, Quite a bit limited 2, Moderately limited 3, Slightly limited 4, Not at all limited 5, Limited for other reasons or did not do the activity 6. The Summary score represents an integration of the patient's physical limitation, symptom frequency, quality of life and social limitation. The total score is calculated as the average of the above scale descriptions. Scores are scaled 0-100, where 0 denotes the lowest reportable health status. Scores of 100 indicate the highest reportable health better outcome status.
