Abstract
OBJECTIVES Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) instruments for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have been commonly used to measure important patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical trials and practices. This study aimed at systematically identifying and assessing the content validity of CVD-specific HRQoL instruments in clinical studies. METHODS The research team searched Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, and PubMed from inception to January 20, 2022. The research team included studies that reported the development and content validity for CVD-specific instruments. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments methods on evaluating content validity of PROs. Content analysis was used to categorize the items included in the instruments. RESULTS The research team found 69 studies reporting the content validity of 40 instruments specifically developed for CVD. Fourteen (35.0%) were rated "sufficient" with very low to moderate quality of evidence. For PRO development, all instruments were rated "doubtful" or "inadequate." Twenty-eight (70.0%) instruments cover the core concepts of HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS The quality of development and content validity vary among existing CVD-specific instruments. The evidence on the content validity should be considered when choosing a HRQoL instrument in CVD clinical studies and health economic evaluations.

China Health Related Outcomes Measures (CHROME): development of a descriptive system to support cardiovascular disease specific preference-based measure for the Chinese population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preference-based measures have been increasingly recommended to measure health outcomes for economic evaluation. However, none of existing cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments are preference-based. This study aimed to develop the descriptive system of preference-based HRQoL instrument for Chinese patients with CVDs under the Initiative of China Health Related Outcomes Measures (CHROME). METHODS Qualitative face-to-face interviews were conducted with Chinese patients with CVDs. Content analysis was employed to generate candidate items for the instrument. Then expert consultation and cognitive debriefing interviews were conducted to guide further selection and revision of the items. RESULTS We interviewed 127 CVD patients with 67.7% being male and 63.8% living in the urban area. A hierarchical code book comprised of four themes, 20 categories, 62 sub-categories, and 207 codes, was developed. Candidate items were selected based on the criteria set by the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology and ISPOR PRO guidance. An online survey and meeting with an expert advisory panel (n = 15) followed by cognitive debriefing interviews with 20 patients and 13 physicians were conducted to further select and revise the candidate items. The descriptive system of CHROME-CVD consists of 14 items, namely frequency and severity of chest pain, chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, appetite, sleeping, mobility, daily activities, depression, worry, and social relationship. Four or five level responses were selected based on cognitive debriefing results to each item. CONCLUSION The current study developed the descriptive system (items and response options) of CHROME-CVD, the future CVD-specific preference-based HRQoL instrument for Chinese CVD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported health status is one of the most important aspects of cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess patient-reported health and its determinants following cardiac surgery. METHODS Cross-sectional study was performed among 128 patients (mean age: 66.02; 35.9% women). Three months after surgery patients filled in The Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) and Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). Patient-reported health was assessed using SF-12 General Health component. RESULTS The mean General Health score was 47.34 (SD=20.94). General Health was significantly positively correlated with SF-12 Physical and Mental Component Summary (P<0.01). Significant negative correlations were noted between General Health and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Factor (EuroSCORE) (P=0.012) and Body Mass Index (BMI) (P=0.026). Higher scores on B-IPQ Consequences, Timeline, Identity, Emotional Response (P<0.01) and Concern (P=0.03) were related to worse General Health. Higher perceived effectiveness of surgery (P<0.01) and Treatment control (P=0.003) were associated with higher General Health score. More negative illness perception was significantly related to lower General Health (P<0.01). No significant associations between General Health and mode and weight of the procedure, myocardial infarction, previous percutaneous coronary intervention, New York Heart Association (NYHA) and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class and postsurgical complications were noted. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that illness perception domains, BMI and EuroSCORE are the main determinants of General Health. CONCLUSIONS Modifiable factors, especially illness perception are important determinants of patient-reported health after cardiac surgery. Evaluation of illness perception seems vital since it may lead to address patients' concerns and improve outcomes.
