PROMs From GEstIC Heart Failure Patients

Portugal155 participantsStarted 2022-12-12

Plain-language summary

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition with substantial morbidity, and understanding its effects on patients' quality of life is essential. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are any result of a disease or treatment that comes directly from the patient, without any interpretation from clinicians, using standardized scientifically-validated medical questionnaires, PROMs. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are the tools used to capture PRO information usually in the form of questionnaires. The PROMs from GEstIC Heart Failure Patients (PROFIC-HF) study aims to assess the feasibility of digitally recording Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at home in real-world patients enrolled in a multidisciplinary heart failure clinic. Two HF-specific PROMs - Kansas City Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) - and a 2 PROMs for anxiety and depression assessment - Patient Health Questionnaire -2 (PHQ-2) and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) will be collected remotely using a digital platform that can be accessed online using a smartphone or a computer. This study will also evaluate the correlation between quality of life changes (measured by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) versus Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire) and changes in clinical reported outcomes: assess the quality of life of real world HFpatients followed in a multidisciplinary heart failure clinic and quantify the impact of hospitalization events on patients' quality of life.
