MacNew
reports

The MacNew has been used across a wide range of clinical and research settings as a patient-reported outcome measure for heart disease-specific health-related quality of life. The studies listed here illustrate its broad applicability — from cardiac rehabilitation and behavioural or educational interventions to invasive procedures, long-term follow-up, psychometric evaluation, and comparisons with other quality-of-life instruments. By capturing emotional, physical, social, and global aspects of patients’ lived experience, the MacNew helps researchers and clinicians assess not only clinical recovery, but also how heart disease and its treatment affect everyday life. Its use across diagnoses, countries, and language versions highlights the diversity of contexts in which patient-centred outcomes matter.
