Applications

• Health related quality of life assessment in PAD patients.
• Research and clinical practice

Patient reported quality of life survey for PAD

PADQOL™ is a validated, peripheral artery disease (PAD)-specific quality of life (QoL) questionnaire that quantifies the subjective patient experience and impact of PAD on those living with this debilitating disease. This 38-item questionnaire can be used to assess the health-related quality of life pertaining to 5 broad factors:

• Social relationships and interactions (9 items)
• Self-concept and feelings (7 items)
• Symptoms and limitations in physical functioning (8 items)
• Fear and uncertainty (4 items)
• Positive adaptation (7 items)

Through the scores from these factors, and 3 additional items, PADQOL™ comprehensively captures the patient’s perspective on how the day-to-day functional limitations impact life-satisfaction and well-being. Results from this questionnaire can be used by healthcare professionals to tailor intervention strategies based on the scores obtained under each factor. In addition, this questionnaire can also be used to measure improvements or deterioration in QoL over time due to PAD. This instrument is valuable for commercial product evaluation, research and clinical purposes.
