Understanding Patient Goals and Preferences to Facilitate Shared Decision Making for Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating AVITA--Aortic Valve Improved Treatment Approaches for Aortic Stenosis Symptomatic. Completed, enrolled 99 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall goal of this study is to develop and validate a preference assessment tool for patients who have severe aortic stenosis and are contemplating their treatment options. The first part of the study focuses on understanding the treatment goals and treatment features that matter most to patients who have already made the decision. The investigators use mixed methods (nominal group technique, card sorting) to elicit, prioritize, and organize these patient preferences into a "cognitive map". Based on those findings, the investigators design a preference tool and then pre-test the tool with patients and healthcare providers.
