Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are health outcomes directly reported by the patient that can be used to measure the effect of disease and treatments on patient perceived well-being. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the validation of PROMs in people with symptomatic, nonlimb-threatening peripheral artery disease. A literature search was conducted to identify studies of symptomatic peripheral artery disease without limb-threatening ischemia that included PROMs and had sample sizes ≥25. PROMs were summarized along a continuum of validation using classical test theory framework and according to whether they fulfilled defined criteria for (1) content validity; (2) psychometric validation; and (3) further validation evidence base expansion. Of 2198 articles identified, 157 (7.1%) met inclusion criteria. Twenty-four PROMs in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease were reviewed. Among disease-specific PROMs, 8 of 15 had excellent reliability as measured by a Cronbach alpha ≥0.80. Based on established criteria for PROM responsiveness, 6 of 15 disease-specific PROMs demonstrated excellent sensitivity to change. Of these, the disease-specific peripheral artery questionnaire, vascular quality of life questionnaire, and walking impairment questionnaire met criteria for validation at each stage of the continuum. For generic (nondisease specific) PROMs, the European Quality of Life 5-Dimension and SF-36 had the most extensive evidence of validation. Evidence from this review can inform selection of PROMs aligned with scientific and clinical goals, given the variable degree of validation and potential complementary nature of the measures.

Patients with lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) have greater functional impairment, faster functional decline, increased rates of mobility loss, and poorer quality of life than people without PAD. Supervised exercise therapy (SET) improves walking ability, overall functional status, and health-related quality of life in patients with symptomatic PAD. In 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a National Coverage Determination (CAG-00449N) for SET programs for patients with symptomatic PAD. This advisory provides a practical guide for delivering SET programs to patients with PAD according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services criteria. It summarizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services process and requirements for referral and coverage of SET and provides guidance on how to implement SET for patients with PAD, including the SET protocol, options for outcome measurement, and transition to home-based exercise. This advisory is based on the guidelines established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States and is intended to assist clinicians and administrators who are implementing SET programs for patients with PAD.
