Key result

Higher health-related quality of life, as measured by patient-reported outcomes, is associated with a 37% reduced risk of mortality (HR 0.633) across chronic diseases.

Implication

Patient-reported outcomes are critical tools for assessing health status, guiding therapeutic decisions, and predicting prognostic outcomes in cardiovascular diseases.

Key Points

To evaluate the role and impact of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in chronic cardiovascular diseases.
Analyzed trends in PRO adoption in drug approvals and clinical trials from 1997 to 2015.
Examined various PRO measures like KCCQ, EQ-5D, and SF-36 across studies.
Correlated PRO scores with clinical outcomes such as hospitalizations and mortality risk.
Each 5-point decrease in KCCQ score was linked to a 6–9% increased risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization.
Higher health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was associated with a 37% reduction in mortality risk (HR 0.633, 95% CI: 0.514–0.780).
Self-reported abilities significantly predicted survival in pre-terminal cancer patients, with hazard ratios of 0.63 (p=0.015) and 0.67 (p=0.024) for mobility and self-care, respectively.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure

Intervention

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)

Patient-reported outcomes are critical tools for assessing health status, guiding therapeutic decisions, and predicting prognostic outcomes in cardiovascular diseases.

Limitations

Methodological challenges in developing validated PROMs
Difficulty in demonstrating clinically meaningful changes
Regulatory agencies' preference for hard clinical endpoints
