This study aimed to evaluate the different health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) aspects in patients with both short-term and long-term duration LVAD support at pre-specified time intervals. We performed a single-centre HR-QoL analysis of short-term and long-term LVAD-supported patients using the short version of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) and the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire along with a survey to evaluate patients' social and driving routines. Data were collected at baseline and at 6 or 12month follow-up. Included were 46 patients with a median time from LVAD implantation of 1.1 [inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.5, 2.6] years. The median KCCQ-12 summary score was 56 (IQR 29, 74) with most favourable scores in the symptom frequency domain [75 (IQR 50, 92)] and worse scores in the physical limitation [42 (IQR 25, 75)] and QoL [44 (IQR 25, 75)] domains. No significant changes were apparent during study follow-up [KCCQ-12 summary score 56 (IQR 35, 80)], and no signifssment and preparation. Patients with Noonan and Williams-Beuren syndrome present similar facial phenotypes modulated by their ethnic background. Although distinctive facial features have been reported, studies show a variable incidence of those characteristics in populations with diverse ancestry. Hence, a differential diagnosis based on reported facial features can be challenging. Although accurate diagnoses are possible with genetic testing, they are not available in developing and remote regions. We used a facial analysis technology to identify the most discriminative facial metrics between 286 patients with Noonan and 161 with Williams-Beuren syndrome with diverse ethnic background. We quantified the most discriminative metrics, and their ranges both globally and in different ethnic groups. We also created population-based appearance images that are useful not only as clinical references but also for t
