BackgroundIn recent years, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have received increasing prominence in cardiovascular research and clinical care. An understanding of the variability global experience PROs adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), however, is still lacking. Moreover, information on epidemiological characteristics frailty phenotype older CHD minimal. The APPROACH-IS II study was established to address these knowledge gaps. This paper presents design methodology...
OBJECTIVES: Today, both surgical and percutaneous techniques are available for pulmonary valve implantation in patients with right ventricle outflow tract obstruction or insufficiency. In this controlled, non-randomized study the hospital costs per patient of two treatment options were identified compared. METHODS: During period June 2011 until October 2014 cost data 20 treated technique 14 open surgery consecutively included. Two methods analysis used, a retrospective average estimate...
Abstract Aims The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses significant challenges to many groups within societies, and especially for people with chronic health conditions. It is, however, unknown whether how the has thus far affected physical mental of patient populations. Therefore, we investigated lives adults congenital heart disease (CHD), compared pre- peri-pandemic patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) a experience measure (PREM), having had COVID-19 impacted...
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is an alternative to open heart surgery in selected patients with outflow tract disorder. The technique may reduce the number of open-chest surgeries these patients. This study was conducted understand how and their next-of-kin experienced this new treatment option.Qualitative explorative design individual in-depth interviews.Oslo University Hospital, only cardiac centre Norway offering advanced surgical interventional patient congenital defects,...

The study was part the pre-transition clinical work-up adolescents with Fontan-type palliation univentricular CHD. programme covers entire paediatric patient population Norway. Methods: Our cross-sectional included 42 circulation aged 15–18. We recruited control 29 healthy peers. Quality measured by Pediatric Life...
Objective This prospective non-randomised study was performed to compare the psychosocial function and clinical outcomes following surgical percutaneous implantation of a pulmonary valve at 3 months 1 year after treatment. Methods All patients were consecutively admitted for treatment by either method from June 2011 October 2014. The data 20 treated with technique 14 open heart surgery compared. Psychosocial measured Achenbach System Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). We used linear...
Patient empowerment is associated with improvements in different patient-reported and clinical outcomes. However, despite being widely researched, high quality theoretically substantiated disease-generic measures of patient are lacking. The few good instruments that available have not reported important psychometric properties, including measurement invariance. aim this study was to assess the properties 15-item Gothenburg Empowerment Scale (GES), a particular focus on invariance GES across...
