Objectives: This study was designed to detect any effect of order when modules on disease-specific and overall health status are combined in an outcomes research questionnaire. Methods: Men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were prospectively enrolled in a clinical trial of an educational intervention in Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, a prepaid group practice. Within the trial, 392 consecutive men were randomized to one of two versions of a baseline questionnaire. One had a 38-item module on BPH-specific health status first, followed by a 30-item module on overall health status; the other had the modules in reverse order. Scores were compared for three BPH-specific scales and eight scales measuring overall health. Data were collected in the form of self-administered questionnaires. Results: Comparing the groups assigned the two versions of the questionnaire, no significant differences in scores on any of the health status scales were found. Conclusions: In this dataset, we could find no evidence of an order effect when modules on BPH-specific and overall health status were combined in different sequences.

Introduction: Improving health status; symptoms, function, and quality of life (QoL) are key treatment goals in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and claudication. Hypothesis: Compared with medical management only, early revascularization in patients with claudication is associated with greater improvements in disease-specific health status. Methods: Patients with new or worsening claudication, who underwent revascularization within 3 months of enrolment or were treated non-invasively (statin, aspirin, cilostazol, supervised exercise therapy, risk factor management) were identified from 16 vascular medicine clinics in the US, Netherlands and Australia participating in the PORTRAITregistry. Patients were propensity-matched on the likelihood of receiving invasive therapy. The Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ) was used to assess patients’ disease-specific health status at enrollment, and at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up using hierarchical Generalized Linear Models for repeated measures. Results: Among 1142 patients (mean age of 67.7 years, 63.0% male), 229 (20.1%) underwent early revascularization while 913 (79.9%) were managed non-invasively. At baseline, patients who underwent invasive vs. non-invasive management had lower PAQ summary (mean ± SD; 44.41 ± 19.98 vs 50.98 ± 21.79, P<0.001) and quality of life scores (45.52 ± 23.95 vs 52.43 ± 26.19, P<0.001). Compared with patients treated non-invasively, patients who underwent revascularization reported improved health status over time, through 1 year of follow up (P <0.001 for all PAQ domains) ( Figure 1 ). Conclusion: Patients who underwent early revascularization had worse baseline health status but a greater improvement over 1 year of follow-up when compared with patients managed without revascularization. Summarizing real-world health status benefits following a PAD diagnosis can support preference-sensitive decisions for PAD management.
