Further to discuss clinical implications and direction for research.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A qualitative focus group interview study was conducted of 47 adults (Marfan syndrome (MFS)\u2009=\u200914, Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS)\u2009=\u200911, vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS)\u2009=\u200911, relatives\u2009=\u200911). The interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim.

Psychosocial well-being; (i) Social engagement and activity, (ii) Self-sufficient in daily living, (iii) Participation in education and work life, (iv) Coping with fear related to the disease, (v) Being able to control and\u00a0accept fatigue and pain, (vi) Maintaining active engagement with family and friends (vii) Finding health-promoting physical activities. II. Monitoring and\u00a0meetings with the health service: (viii) Feeling safe and receiving coordinated care, (ix) Being recognized, seen, and accepted, (x) Receiving factual and sober information and advice. The sub-themes seemed mutually interrelated in terms of barriers, strategies, and facilitators for improving quality of life. There was high degree of consensus regarding the factors emphasized as important for QoL among the various diagnostic groups and the relatives.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Based on our findings, to improve QoL in patients with sHTAD we should more effectively integrate the patient`s perspectives and voice on the elements crucial to QoL. In addition, it is vital for developing and customizing validated questionnaires to accurately reflect the factors deemed significant by this specific patient cohort. The research is limited on patients\u2019 perspectives on QoL, and more research is warranted. This might also be crucial for identifying relevant validated QoL instruments that reflect the patients` perceptions of what is vital for QoL.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13023-024-03485-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]],"date-time":"2025-01-09T10:59:37Z","timestamp":1736420377000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Quality of life in people with syndromic heritable thoracic aortic disease and their relatives: a qualitative interview based study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5521-778X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gry","family":"Velvin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Johansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gunnbj\u00f8rg","family":"Aune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"Fugl-Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy \u00d8stertun","family":"Geirdal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"3485_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"772","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13040772","volume":"13","author":"E Monda","year":"2023","unstructured":"Monda E, Lioncino M, Verrillo F, Rubino M, Caiazza M, Mauriello A, et al.
