Table 2_Heterogeneity of eHealth literacy and treatment burden in older adults with heart

A cross-sectional study of 425 older adults with chronic heart failure in China, conducted by Xiaoxia Wu and last updated in June 2026. The dataset includes responses from the Chinese eHealth Literacy Scale (C-eHEALS) and the Patient Experience with Treatment and Self-Management (PETS) scale, analyzed via latent profile analysis. It identifies three distinct patient profiles based on 14 continuous dimensional indicators of eHealth literacy and treatment burden.

Use Cases

• Identifying distinct patient subgroups based on eHealth literacy and treatment burden patterns mentioned in the description.
• Predicting membership in the 'Vulnerable' profile using sociodemographic and clinical predictors like age, education, and comorbidity index.
• Analyzing dimensional discordance within profiles, such as the pairing of adequate information acquisition with poor evaluation skills.
• Informing the design of targeted digital health interventions for older adults with chronic conditions.

Strengths

• Includes data from 425 participants, a sample size specified in the methods.
• Uses validated instruments: the Chinese eHealth Literacy Scale (C-eHEALS) and the Patient Experience with Treatment and Self-Management (PETS).
• Analysis identifies three distinct latent profiles with specific membership percentages: Vulnerable (28.9%), Capable (22.1%), and Transitional (48.9%).
• Multinomial logistic regression identified specific independent predictors (e.g., older age, primary-level education) for profile membership.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying raw data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single cross-sectional study in China, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
