    We used the calculator & have a total score and a summary score- best I can tell papers have used either an “overall score” or the “summary score”. Which should we use (as a measure of HF severity or prognosis)?
    thanks

    The total score and the Overall Summary Score are the same and I would recommend using that one as an overall summary of the impact of your intervention on patients’ overall, disease-specific health status. The Overall Summary includes the physical limitation scale, the symptom summary scale the social limitation and the quality of life scales. The Clinical Summary Scale is meant to replicate the NYHA and includes only the first 2 of these scales.
