Patient-Reported Outcomes in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease (APPROACH-IS)

March 11, 2015 updated by: Philip Moons

Assessment of Patterns of Patient-reported Outcomes in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease - International Study

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in perceived health, psychosocial functioning, behavioral outcomes and quality of life of adults with congenital heart disease who are living in different areas of the world, and how these differences can be understood (e.g., differences in sense of coherence or illness perceptions).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adults with congenital heart disease who are in continuing follow-up at an adult congenital heart disease center or included in a national/regional registry.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with congenital heart disease, defined as: a gross structural abnormality of the heart or intra-thoracic great vessels that is actually or potentially of functional significance (including mild, moderate, and severe heart defects)
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Diagnosed under the age of ten, i.e. before adolescence
  • Continuing follow-up at an adult congenital heart disease center or included in a national/regional registry
  • Physical, cognitive, and language abilities to complete self-report questionnaires

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior heart transplantation
  • Isolated pulmonary hypertension
  • Syndromes affecting cognitive abilities

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Patient-reported health status (EuroQol-5D)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Patient-reported psychosocial functioning (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Patient-reported behavioral outcomes (Health Behavior Scale - Congenital Heart Disease)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Patient-reported quality of life (Linear Analog Scale Quality of Life;Satisfaction with Life Scale)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Patient-reported sense of coherence (Sense of Coherence scale 13 items)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Patient-reported illness perceptions (Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Patient-reported socio-demographic variables (e.g. age, educational level)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Medical variables by chart review (e.g. cardiac surgeries, frequency of follow-up)
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline

General Publications

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 1, 2013

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
February 1, 2015

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
