BACKGROUND Mobile interventions are intended to digitally nurse complex health care needs in chronic diseases, but they are mainly targeted at general health improvement and neglect disease-specific requirements. Therefore, we designed TrackPAD, a smartphone app to support supervised exercise training (SET) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). OBJECTIVE The aim of the present pilot study was to evaluate suitability, feasibility, and the impact on a prognosis relevant outcome measure for patients with PAD, the 6-minutes walking test, by using TrackPAD. METHODS Twenty-nine participants with symptomatic PAD were randomized. The study group (n=19) received usual care with additional use of TrackPAD. The control group (n=20) only received usual care. RESULTS The study group improved their 6-minutes walking distance, while the control group decreased their mean distance after 3 months of follow-up (83±72.2 vs. -38.8±53.7 m; p<0.01). The PAD-related quality of life improved significantly in terms of ‘symptom perception’ and ‘limitations in physical functioning’. Users’ feed-back showed increased motivation and a changed attitude to perform SET, while raising the educational background. CONCLUSIONS Besides the rating as a valued support tool by the user group, the mobile intervention TrackPAD was linked to an improvement in prognosis relevant outcome measure combined with an enhanced disease coping.

Introduction: Personalised care requires personalised outcomes and ways of feeding back clinically useful information to clinicians and practitioners, but it is not clear how to best personalise outcome measurement and feedback using existing standardised outcome measures. Method: The constant comparison method of grounded theory was used to compare goal themes derived from goals set at the outset of therapy for 180 children aged between 4 and 17 years, visiting eight child and adolescent mental health services, to existing standardised outcome measures used as part of common national datasets. Results: In all, 20 out of 27 goal themes corresponded to items on at least one commonly used outcome measure. Discussion: Consideration of goal themes helped to identify potential relevant outcome measures. However, there were several goal themes that were not captured by items on standardised outcome measures. These seemed to be related to existential factors such as understanding, thinking about oneself and future planning. Conclusion: This presents a powerful framework for how clinicians can use goals to help select a standardised outcome measure (where this is helpful) in addition to the use of a goal-based outcome measure and personalise choices. There may be areas not captured by standardised outcome measures that may be important for children and young people and which may only be currently captured in goal measurement. There is an indication that we may not be measuring what is important to children and young people. We may need to develop or look for new measures that capture these areas.

Background The visual analog scale is widely used in research studies, but its connection with clinical experience outside the research setting and the best way to administer the VAS forms are not well established. This study defines changes in dosing of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia as a clinically relevant outcome and compares it with VAS measures of postoperative pain. Methods Visual analog scale measurements were obtained from 150 patients on the morning after intraabdominal surgery. On the same afternoon, 50 of the patients provided a VAS score on the same form used in the morning, 50 on a new form, and 50 were not asked for a second VAS measurement. Results Visual analog scale values and changes in value were similar for patients who were given a new VAS form in the afternoon and those who used the form that showed the morning value. The proportions of patients requesting additional analgesia were 4, 43, and 80%, corresponding to afternoon VAS scores of 30 or less, 31-70, and greater than 70, respectively. Change from morning VAS score had no apparent influence on patient-controlled analgesic dosing for patients with afternoon values of 30 or less or greater than 70, but changes in VAS scores of at least 10 did discriminate among patients whose afternoon values were between 31 and 70. Conclusions When pain is an outcome measure in research studies, grouping final VAS scores into a small number of categories provides greater clinical relevance for comparisons than using the full spectrum of measured values or changes in value. Seeing an earlier VAS form has no apparent influence on later values.
