Abstract

Introduction: Poor healthcare outcomes from cardiovascular disease (CVD) have prompted a shift towards measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to improve quality of care. We conducted a scoping review of the current use of PRO measures (PROMs) in the care of people with CVD in African countries.

Methods: This study included studies that reported the use of at least one PROM in participants with CVD. The study took place in at least one African country.

Results: The 25 included studies originating from13 countries were primarily observational (n = 23), and most commonly studied adults with congestive heart failure (n = 17). Themost common PROM was quality of life (QOL) (n = 17). Overall QOL was poor; lower QOL was associated with various clinical and patient factors.

Conclusion: Further work is needed to expand the availability of adapted PROMs and to explore effective implementation strategies to better integrate their use into clinical practice.

对非洲国家心血管疾病患者照护中使用患者报告结果测量（PROMs）的范围审查。

导言：心血管疾病（CVD）的不良医疗结果促使人们转向衡量患者报告的结果（PROs），以提高护理质量。我们对目前在非洲国家心血管疾病患者护理中使用的PRO措施（PROMs）进行了范围审查。方法：本研究纳入了报道CVD患者使用至少一种胎膜PROM的研究。这项研究至少在一个非洲国家进行。结果：25项纳入的研究来自13个国家，主要是观察性研究（n = 23），最常见的是研究充血性心力衰竭的成年人（n = 17）。最常见的PROM是生活质量（QOL）（n = 17）。总体生活质量较差；较低的生活质量与各种临床和患者因素有关。结论：需要进一步的工作来扩大适应性PROMs的可用性，并探索有效的实施策略，以更好地将其应用于临床实践。
