Factors that impact the implementation of patient reported outcomes in routine clinical care for peripheral artery disease from the patient perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are well-suited for the longitudinal assessment of quality of life, including depression and physical limitations associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD) that are not routinely assessed in clinical care. This study was designed to gain the patient perspective to facilitate implementation of PROMs into clinical practice for PAD management.

Methods

Twenty-three patients with PAD at a single vascular surgery clinic were enrolled for a qualitative interview, July-December 2022. Patients completed PROMIS Physical Function and Depression assessments before undergoing semi-structured interviews. Two researchers used an inductive thematic analysis to analyze emergent themes from transcribed interviews.
