Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data01:23

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

245
A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new short-form patient-reported outcomes measure (PROM) called the Vanderbilt Mini-PROM-Gender (VMP-G) was developed and validated. This tool reliably assesses outcomes for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) in transgender and nonbinary individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Psychometrics
  • Gender studies

Background:

  • Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a growing treatment for gender dysphoria.
  • Existing patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) for GAS are often unvalidated or lack comprehensive scope.
  • There is a need for a validated, concise tool to assess GAS outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a short-form patient-reported outcomes measure (PROM) for gender-affirming surgery (GAS).
  • To create a tool that broadly evaluates GAS outcomes in transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) patients.
  • To establish a reliable instrument for assessing quality of life, self-concept, satisfaction, and gender dysphoria post-GAS.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed for validation.
  • The Vanderbilt Mini-PROM-Gender (VMP-G) was validated in a TGNB population.
  • Classical test theory and cognitive interviews were used to ensure psychometric properties.

Main Results:

  • The Vanderbilt Mini-PROM-Gender (VMP-G) is a 20-item instrument.
  • It assesses four domains: quality of life, self-concept, satisfaction, and gender dysphoria.
  • Psychometric properties demonstrated acceptable to excellent reliability and validity in 130 TGNB patients.

Conclusions:

  • The VMP-G is the first short-form PROM specifically validated for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) patients.
  • It reliably evaluates a broad spectrum of outcomes across diverse gender identities and procedures.
  • The VMP-G offers reduced burden and standardizes outcomes data collection in clinical practice.
