Patient-centered care in Coronary Heart Disease: what do you want to measure? A systematic review of reviews on patient-reported outcome measures

Abstract

Background The number of published articles on Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), a leading cause of disability-adjusted life years lost worldwide, has been growing in the last decades. The aim of this study was to identify all the disease-specific PROMs developed for or used in CHD and summarize their characteristics (regardless of the construct), to facilitate the selection of the most adequate one for each purpose. Methods A systematic review of reviews was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. PROQOLID and BiblioPRO libraries were also checked. PROMs were classified by construct and information was extracted from different sources regarding their main characteristics such as aim, number of items, specific dimensions, original language, and metric properties that have been assessed. Results After title and abstract screening of 1224 articles, 114 publications were included for full text review. Finally, we identified 56 PROMs: 12 symptoms scales, 3 measuring functional status, 21 measuring Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL), and 20 focused on other constructs. Three of the symptoms scales were specifically designed for a study (no metric properties evaluated), and only five have been included in a published study in the last decade. Regarding functional status, reliability and validity have been assessed for Duke Activity Index and Seattle Angina Questionnaire, which present multiple language versions. For HRQL, most of the PROMs included physical, emotional, and social domains. Responsiveness has only been evaluated for 10 out the 21 HRQL PROMs identified. Other constructs included psychological aspects, self-efficacy, attitudes, perceptions, threats and expectations about the treatment, knowledge, adjustment, or limitation for work, social support, or self-care. Conclusions There is a wide variety of instruments to assess the patients’ perspective in CHD, covering several constructs. This is the first systematic review of specific PROMs for CHD including all constructs. It has practical significance, as it summarizes relevant information that may help clinicians, researchers, and other healthcare stakeholders to choose the most adequate instrument for promoting shared decision making in a trend towards value-based healthcare.

A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study of Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients’ Quality of Life and Drug Prescription Patterns at Riyadh Region Hospitals, Saudi Arabia

“…Persistent symptoms, both physical (e.g., pain and tiredness) and psychological (e.g., sadness and anxiety), lower patients’ perceived degree of personal competence and capacity to accomplish daily tasks. ACS survivors are 2.7 times more likely than the general population to have fair/poor general health and 1.5 times more likely to experience limits in daily activities [ 15 , 22 ]. Accordingly, more extensive interventions are necessary to improve patients’ quality of life, so boosting physical functioning, reducing physical constraints, and restoring former skills, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality among ACS patients.…”

“…The MacNew’s Heart Disease HRQOL Questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses current angina symptoms as well as the impact of CAD therapy on daily activities and physical, emotional, and social functioning [ 22 ]. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) Score estimates the risk of death or death/MI in patients following the initial ACS.…”

Self Efficacy On Self Care In Coronary Heart Patients

“…Marital status can influence the patient's social and environmental support in carrying out self-care. Support from a partner can play an important role in increasing selfefficacy 19 . Education can influence patients' understanding and ability to carry out selfcare.…”

The Influence of Anxiety, Self-Efficacy, and Quality of Life in Coronary Heart Disease Patients

“…They can provide support, constructive feedback, and confidence in an individual's abilities. Evaluation and learning from failure: viewing failure as an opportunity to learn and grow is an important aspect of increasing self-efficacy (Pardo et al, 2023). Analyze what can be learned from failures and use the information for future improvements.…”
