Adaptation of the Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) into French‐Canadian and English‐Canadian

Abstract

The FC and EC adaptations of the CAMPHOR have been shown to be reliable and valid for measures of health-related QoL and QoL in PAH, and thus can be recommended for use in clinical studies and routine practice in PAH.

Adaptation and validation of the Cambridge pulmonary hypertension outcome review for Sweden

“…The present study did not investigate the test-retest reliability of the new language version of the CAMPHOR. Previous adaptations of the CAMPHOR have shown excellent test-retest reliability [15][16][17]. Additional testing is needed to establish whether the Swedish CAMPHOR exhibits low levels of random measurement error.…”

Validation of the Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) for the Australian and New Zealand population

“…22 The CAMPHOR has been shown to be reliable and valid in the UK, 22 the USA 23 and Canada. 24 The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and construct validity of the CAMPHOR in the Austra-lian and New Zealand PAH population and to determine its applicability in evaluating interventions in this population.…”

“…A minimum sample size of 50 was chosen based on a study that sought to evaluate an adaptation of the CAMPHOR for a Canadian population with PAH. 24 Allowing for a response rate of 75%, 22 at least 67 participants were required. Verbal agreement to be involved in the study was obtained from participants at each PAH centre before sending out the questionnaires.…”

Biomarkers in pulmonary arterial hypertension

“…It is quick and easy to complete and consists of three separate scales that are specific to PH: symptoms, functioning and quality of life. Initially developed in the UK, CAMPHOR was adapted and validated for the US (46), and French-and English-Canadian patients (47). In addition, CAMPHOR index can detect improvements, even if patients did not improve on the basis of traditional outcomes, such as WHO functional class (48).…”
