Note: The SF36v2 MCS (mental component summary) and SF36v2PCS (physical component summary) scores are norm-based ranging from 0 to 100 with a mean of 50 (SD = 10) in the US general population and higher scores indicate better generic health related quality of life (HRQOL). A clinically meaningful increase was defined as ≥3.0 points change in generic HRQOL from 1 to 6 months post discharge for an acute coronary syndrome
The Seattle Angina Questionnaire Quality of Life (SAQ-QOL) subscale contains 3 items scored on a scale of 0–100 with higher scores indicative of better disease-specific health related quality of life (HRQOL). A clinically meaningful increase was defined as ≥10.0 points change in disease specific HRQOL from 1 to 6 months post discharge for an acute coronary syndrome
