• Research summary

  The main aim of this project is to pilot (test) a new patient-reported outcome measure for cardiovascular disease in individuals attending a cardiac rehabilitation programme.
  
  A first draft, 39-item tool (PROM-CR1) will be piloted with 195 patients. The sample will include a variety of cardiac diagnoses to reflect the diverse cardiac population typically attending rehabilitation. The patient sample will complete the PROM-CR1 at initial out-patient cardiac rehabilitation assessment (‘baseline’), along with the EuroQoL (EQ-5D) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) (both standard care questionnaires). At this point, they will also be asked to give feedback on acceptability of the tool. 8-12 weeks later, all patient participants will complete all three questionnaires again ('repeat'). One week later, at home, all participants will complete a third PROM-CR1 (‘end’).

  'Baseline' PROM-CR1 data will be statistically analysed for construct validity (i.e. to see whether it measures what it claims to), and revisions made as required. Data remaining within PROM-CR1 after this revision will be used in subsequent analyses of PROM-CR1's validity when compared to the other tools, its ability to discriminate between the different diagnostic groups, and reliability when applied twice within two weeks. These data will inform any further changes that require to be made. Patient feedback on the tool's acceptability will also be considered when making final changes to PROM-CR1.

  The main outcome from this study will be a final draft PROM for cardiac rehabilitation called 'PROM-CR'.
