undergoing ECP. However, it is (intentionally) narrow in scope, and does not appear to have<br />

been evaluated in UK patients undergoing ECP.<br />

There is little evidence to support the use with patients undergoing ECP of two other wellestablished<br />

PROMs for CAD, namely the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and<br />

the MacNew.<br />

Amongst the large number of cardiovascular-specific, dimension-specific PROMs identified,<br />

some may be useful for narrowly-focused studies. However, most of these measures have<br />

limited evidence of psychometric properties and, given their limited scope, cannot be<br />

recommended for routine use in the NHS.<br />

Recommendations<br />

Based on this appraisal, the following instruments were recommended for consideration by a<br />

multidisciplinary panel (see Appendix D):<br />

1. SF-36<br />

2. EQ-5D<br />

3. SAQ<br />

4. CROQ<br />

According to the ratings and comments of the panel, the EQ-5D and the SF-36 scored equally<br />

well as generic measures of health status whilst the cardiovascular-specific measures,<br />

namely, the SAQ and the CROQ suite of questionnaires, were also rated as equivalent.<br />

The PROM Group concludes that the following measures have the strongest evidence for use<br />

with patients undergoing elective procedures for coronary revascularisation:<br />

a. Preference-based measure: EQ-5D<br />

b. Generic, multidimensional measure: SF-36<br />

c. Cardiovascular-specific, multidimensional measure: SAQ<br />

In the third category, with further evidence, the CROQ would merit consideration in the<br />

future.<br />
