These challenges are unique, and existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) do not reflect their experiences. This study aimed to develop a culturally relevant quality of life PROM for use with LVAD recipients in future research, design evolutions and clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A three-stage mixed-methods approach was used to develop a PROM: stage 1 included group concept mapping (GCM); stage 2 semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 11 LVAD recipients and 10 clinicians, and a questionnaire was developed using a conceptual framework; and stage 3 used exploratory psychometric analysis of the PROM data using Rasch measurement theory. This paper presents stages 2 and 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The conceptual framework consisted of four key concepts, including general health, life with the LVAD, equipment and clothing and emotional impact. Statements from interviews and GCM were used to create items for the LVAD quality of life (LVAD-QoL). Cognitive interviews tested face validity and participant comprehension. Forty-nine participants were recruited from three UK transplant centres. PROM data were collected and analysed using Rasch analysis. Four items displayed misfit; dependency between item sets was the biggest issue (57\/485 pairwise differences). After restructuring and dealing with item misfit, the LVAD-QoL conformed to the Rasch model, supporting the psychometric properties and quality of the LVAD-QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using a mixed-methods approach ensured the development of a robust and psychometrically sound tool for research, design evolution and clinical practice with LVAD recipients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ehf2.14850","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T04:51:28Z","timestamp":1718340688000},"page":"3167-3179","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Development of a Quality of Life Measure for Left Ventricular Assist Device Recipients Using a Mixed Methods Approach"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2827-7741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anita L.","family":"Slade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Patient Reported Outcomes Research, Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham , Birmingham ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christel","family":"McMullan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Patient Reported Outcomes Research, Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham , Birmingham ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"National Institute for Health and Care Research Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre, University of Birmingham , Birmingham ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"National Institute for Health and Care Research Blood and Transplant Research Unit in Precision and Cellular Therapeutics, University of Birmingham , Birmingham ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
