The key to interpreting patient-reported health-related quality of life scores for use in person-centered healthcare approaches in clinical practice is having reference data to place the scores in the context of a meaningful reference group. Norms for the MacNew, generated on 1.506 English-speaking Australian patients with IHD, have been available since 2002. Based on an international sample of 6.130 adult patients with angina, or MI or heart failure living in 22 countries an update to MacNew reference data have been provided.
A new multicentre study from Cyprus shows that patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting experience an initial dip in quality of life before climbing well above their preoperative baseline by six months — with the MacNew capturing the journey at every step.
A pilot randomized controlled trial shows that a structured four-week prehabilitation programme for frail patients awaiting cardiac surgery delivers large improvements in functional capacity, frailty reversal, and MacNew quality of life — sustained months after discharge.
