Development of Novel Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) and Observer-Reported Outcome (ObsRO) Instruments in Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA): ViSIO-PRO and ViSIO-ObsRO.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) are rare inherited retinal degenerative disorders resulting in visual impairments and impacts on patients' vision-dependent activities of daily living (ADL), mobility and distal health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to conduct qualitative research to understand the patient experience of RP/LCA across genotypes and inform development of patient- and observer-reported outcome (PRO/ObsRO) instruments in RP/LCA.

Methods

Research activities included a qualitative literature review and review of existing visual function PRO instruments in RLBP1 RP, and concept elicitation (CE) and cognitive debriefing (CD) interviews of existing PRO instruments with patients with RLBP1 RP, expert clinici
