Validation of a Patient Knowledge Questionnaire for Pulmonary Hypertension
Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo General Hospital
Summary
This methodological study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire named for the Assessment of Patient Knowledge in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. The study will be conducted in four phases: (1) questionnaire development based on guidelines and literature; (2) content validation by expert judges; (3) semantic validation with patients; and (4) psychometric testing in a sample of up to 200 patients with confirmed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In addition to validation, the study will collect clinical and functional data from medical records, including risk stratification using the COMPERA 2.0 method The final instrument is expected to support patient education strategies and contribute to improved clinical management of PAH.
