Why the study?
It was unknown how well the generic 15D instrument captures disease-specific information compared to instruments in the ICHOM standard set for CAD patients.
Does the generic 15D HRQoL instrument capture disease-related symptoms similarly to disease-specific ICHOM instruments in CAD patients?
Population
297 CAD patients in a university hospital setting
Comparison
15D generic HRQoL instrument vs ICHOM standard set instruments (SAQ-7, RDS, PHQ-2)
Design
Observational cohort study
Follow-up
1 year
Key result
The generic 15D instrument showed moderately strong correlations with dyspnea and physical limitation measures but correlated poorly with angina frequency measured by the SAQ-7 in CAD patients.

Does the generic 15D HRQoL instrument capture disease-related symptoms similarly to disease-specific ICHOM instruments in CAD patients?
The generic 15D HRQoL instrument may need to be supplemented with disease-specific instruments like the SAQ-7 to adequately capture angina symptoms in CAD patients.
Lappalainen et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=279). 15D generic HRQoL instrument vs. ICHOM standard set (SAQ-7, RDS, PHQ-2) was evaluated on Correlation between 15D and ICHOM standard set instruments. The generic 15D instrument showed moderately strong correlations with dyspnea and physical limitation measures but correlated poorly with angina frequency measured by the SAQ-7 in CAD patients.
