“…Some authors suggest a two-parameter model with a polytomous outcome on typically requires at least 400 participants to produce useful output, (22) but others have completed valid and useful studies with smaller sample sizes. (23,24) Effective assessment of the latent variable requires a well-distributed dataset; a smaller dataset may likely be sufficient if the data are of good quality rather than skewed by biases or floor-ceiling effects. As such, we aimed for 300-400 participants with a variety of forms of HVD.…”

Background: There is an increasing prevalence of people worldwide with heart valve diseases (HVD), especially rheumatic heart disease, aortic stenosis, and mitral regurgitation, as well as people with a previous valve repair or replacement. Treatment decisions for HVD can be complex, making quality of life an important factor, but no questionnaire to measure quality of life across the lifespan of HVD exists. In this article, we describe the protocol for the development of such a questionnaire. Methods and Results: The project will occur over four phases. First, people with HVD, family members and clinical experts will be interviewed to generate a list of questions ('items') that comprehensively describe participants' quality of life. In the second phase, this will be formatted into a questionnaire that is pilot tested for functionality. In the third phase, items will be selected according to item distributions, factor analysis and rotation, and item response theory using the Graded Response Model to generate a final questionnaire containing only the best-performing items, which will then be tested for validity. Validity assessments will be repeated after final questionnaire administration in a new sample in the fourth phase. Conclusion: The article gives a template for development of a patient report outcome measure (PROM) in the health sciences. It is expected that the final questionnaire, called the VALVQ, will allow clinical trials to more sensitively assess quality of life changes across the spectrum and lifespan in HVD.
