This systematic review evaluated the methodological quality and measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for depression and anxiety in adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). A total of 66 studies were analyzed, identifying six PROMs that met COSMIN Category A criteria. The review highlights the need for careful selection of PROMs based on context and purpose.

Key findings

  • Six PROMs met COSMIN Category A criteria for quality assessment.
  • Only 24 studies employed confirmatory factor analysis or Rasch analysis.
  • Four instruments were classified as Category C due to insufficient structural validity.
  • Content validity evidence was largely indeterminate or of limited certainty.

Why it matters

Understanding the quality of PROMs for depression and anxiety in CVD patients is crucial for accurate assessment and management of these comorbid conditions, which can significantly impact patient outcomes.
