Condition | Number of citations | Number of included papers | Results | Conclusions |
AAA | 1232 | 3 | 4 validated PROMs identified: 1 generic, 1 vascular generic and 2 condition specific | This review has highlighted a gap in the evidence for validated PROMs in AAA. Due to a lack of rigorous psychometric testing. |
CAD | 1670 | 5 | 6 validated PROMs identified: 4 generic and 2 condition specific | There was a lack of validated PROMs to measure outcomes for CAD patients. |
PAD | 6981 | 14 | 13 validated PROMs identified: 6 generic and 7 condition specific | VascQol was the most psychometrically robust instrument. |
VV | 3879 | 7 | 3 validated PROMs identified: 1 generic and 2 condition specific | Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire is the most psychometrically robust disease-specific PROMs for use with VV patients. |
VLU | 3879 | 7 validated PROMs identified: 3 generic and 4 condition specific | The most valid and reliable condition specific PROMs was VLU-QOL. |
AAA, abdominal aortic aneurysm; CAD, carotid artery disease; PAD, peripheral arterial disease; VLU, venous leg ulcer; VLU-QOL, venous leg ulcer quality of life; VV, varicose veins.
