Popis: Abstract Aims Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are gradually being incorporated into daily practice to assess individual health‐related quality of life (QOL). However, despite accumulating evidence of the prognostic utility of heart failure (HF)‐specific QOL indices, evidence on the generic QOL score is scarce, especially in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods and results Patient data were extracted from the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. EuroQol 5 dimensions 5‐level (EQ‐5D‐5L) data were obtained at discharge to evaluate patients' health‐related QOL. The study population (n = 864) was divided into tertiles based on their EQ‐5D‐5L index as follows: low EQ‐5D‐5L 0.038–0.664 (n = 287), middle EQ‐5D‐5L 0.665–0.867 (n = 293), and high EQ‐5D‐5L 0.871–1.000 (n = 284). A total of 206 patients died over a mean follow‐up period of 2.0 ± 1.2 years. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that the risk of mortality increased with the tertile of the EQ‐5D‐5L index (34% vs. 23% vs. 14%, P
