Future Optimal Research and Care Evaluation - Aortic Stenosis (FORCE-AoS)

December 4, 2023 updated by: Jurriën M. ten Berg, MD, PhD, St. Antonius Hospital

In the past decade the treatment of aortic valve stenosis has rapidly changed. At first, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was a last resort option for inoperable patients. Nowadays, it more and more becomes an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) - also in younger and lower risk patients. This poses important questions to clinical practise regarding the optimal life-time management of each individual patient. Which involves (durability of) treatment modality (surgical vs. transcatheter vs. conservative treatment) as well as the duration and type of the required antithrombotic treatment.

Objective: to evaluate the effect of treatment modality (surgical vs. transcatheter vs. conservative treatment) and its complications on quality of life and survival in AoS patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life as assessed by the EQ-5D-5L
Time Frame: Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized health-related quality of life instrument that assesses individuals across five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. It generates a health profile that can be converted into a single index value, commonly ranging from -0.594 to 1, where 1 represents full health, 0 indicates a state equivalent to death, and negative values reflect health states perceived as worse than death.
Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
Quality of life as assessed by the KCCQ
Time Frame: Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a disease-specific instrument assessing heart failure patients across domains such as Total Symptoms, Physical Limitation, and Quality of Life, with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life, while lower scores suggest increased symptomatology and functional limitations in heart failure patients.
Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
Quality of life as assessed by the SF-12
Time Frame: Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
The Short Form 12 (SF-12) is a widely used health survey that measures health-related quality of life across physical and mental domains. It generates two summary scores, the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS), both ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better health status, and these summaries provide a concise assessment of an individual's overall physical and mental well-being.
Until completion of the study (August 1, 2027)
