Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the greater sensitivity and specificity of disease-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) to detect clinical change, only recently have such instruments been developed for pulmonary hypertension (PH), specifically pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic disease (CTEPH). Although these valuable tools are now being incorporated into clinical studies of PH, they have not yet reached widespread integration into routine clinical care. OBJECTIVES In this systematic review, the authors assess the psychometric properties of PROM developed for PH, compare PROM with other clinical outcomes in PH, and address the utility of PROM in clinical care. METHODS The authors performed a systematic search of papers published between January 1, 2006, and October 1, 2022, using the MEDLINE database to identify PROM developed and validated for PH. The identified PROM were found to have been developed only in groups with PAH and CTEPH. The authors evaluated the identified instruments according to established psychometric criteria. An additional search was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) utilizing these PROM for comparison with clinical outcomes. RESULTS From 527 papers retrieved, a total of 35 PROM were identified. Of these, 5 disease-specific instruments were included in the final analysis. While both CAMPHOR (Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review) and emPHasis-10 performed well in patients with PAH and CTEPH with regard to their psychometric properties, emPHasis-10 demonstrated superior feasibility for use in clinical practice due to its concise format. The Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension-Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire performed well in the authors' analysis, though additional data is needed regarding interpretability and feasibility. CONCLUSIONS EmPHasis-10 demonstrated strong psychometric properties and the greatest feasibility for clinical use. Further study assessing the integration of PROM into routine clinical care for PH is needed.

Quality of life in ambulatory pulmonary arterial hypertension in connective tissue diseases and its relationship with risk stratification. Pulm Circ 2021; 11:20458940211029899.

Abstract
The Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Symptoms and Impact Questionnaire (PAH-SYMPACT) is a PAH-specific patient-reported outcome scale assessing patients’ quality of life from four aspects: cardiopulmonary symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, physical impacts and cognitive/emotional impacts. This study aimed to validate the Chinese version of PAH-SYMPACT and explore its relationship with risk stratification in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH). In addition, 75 patients with CTD-PAH confirmed by right heart catheterization were invited to complete questionnaires including PAH-SYMPACT, the 36-item Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Survey (SF-36) and EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D). The demographic, clinical, laboratory and treatment data were collected. The endpoint was treatment goal achievement status in 6–12 months after completing the questionnaires, defined as an integrated outcome. Participants’ mean age was 36.4 ± 11.9 years and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 38.9 ± 13.67 mmHg. The reliability of the PAH-SYMPACT domains ranged from 0.83 to 0.88. Results of factor analysis basically conformed the original PAH-SYMPACT. The treatment goal achievement (TGA) status in 6–12 months was significantly associated with physical impacts scores (odds ratio: 0.180, 95% confidence interval: 0.036–0.908, P=0.038). The Chinese version of PAH-SYMPACT is a reliable measurement to evaluate quality of life in CTD-PAH patients and is also a potential predictor of patient’s condition change in routine clinical practice.
