Trial summary

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by limited exercise performance, which is mainly determined by disease-specific factors, such as diminished cardiac output, abnormal ventilatory response, and low perfusion in skeletal muscles, which lead to skeletal muscle dysfunction.1 Exercise intolerance and symptoms… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cultural Adaptation, Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of Performance Measure for Activities of Daily Living-8

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by limited exercise performance, which is mainly determined by disease-specific factors, such as diminished cardiac output, abnormal ventilatory response, and low perfusion in skeletal muscles, which lead to skeletal muscle dysfunction.1 Exercise intolerance and symptoms may lead to activity restriction and further functional deterioration with the progression of CHF. There is some evidence that disease-specific self-report measures more quantify clinically relevant domains than measures of general health status and are generally more sensitive to clinical change. aim of the study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the PMADL-8 questionnaire in the Turkish population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Performance Measure For Activities Of Daily Living-8

    The questionnaire consists of 8 questions. It is a daily living activities measurement questionnaire consisting of 4 categories (very easy = 1 point, easy = 2, difficult = 3 points, very difficult = 4 points). High scores indicate severe functional limitations.

    Measured: 6 month

  2. Chronic Heart Failure Questionnaire

    The questionnaire consists of 20 questions and four sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions of the scale are dyspnea (5 questions), fatigue (4 questions), mood (7 questions) and dominance (4 questions). The questions have Likert-type response options ranging from 1 (worst) to 7 (best). The higher the score, the higher the quality of life.

    Measured: 6 month

  3. Nothingham Health Profile

    It is a general health questionnaire consisting of 6 sub-parameters consisting of energy level (ES), emotional reactions (ER), physical activity (FA), pain (A), sleep (U) and social isolation (SI) and a total of 38 items.

    Measured: 6 month

  4. Sociodemographic data form

    Gender, age, height, weight, body mass index, complaints, concomitant diseases, smoking and alcohol history, New York Heart Association's (NYHA) Congestive Heart Failure Classification, Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors (Kwong et al. Circulation 2003) will be questioned. . Shortness of breath (at rest and on exertion) will be assessed with the modified Borg Scale

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure, run by Ahi Evren Chest and Cardiovascular Surgery Education and Research Hospital at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance Measure For Activities Of Daily Living-8 (time frame: 6 month). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Feb 2022.
