Structured PICO

Are the NHP, HPPQ, SIP, and HAD questionnaires feasible and reliable for assessing quality of life in patients with prior myocardial infarction or stroke?

Population

53 subjects including patients with a history of stroke (n=16, mean age 66.0), myocardial infarction (n=20, mean age 72.7), and controls (n=17, mean age 72.8) from The Netherlands.

Intervention

Self-assessment using four quality of life questionnaires: Nottingham health profile (NHP), heart patients psychological questionnaire (HPPQ), sickness impact profile (SIP), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD).
