Abstract:
To enhance the standardization and management of diagnosis and treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension in Chinese adults,Working Group on Pulmonary Hypertension,National Center for Cardiovascular Quality Improvement,National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases,China Specialized Alliance of Pulmonary Hypertension and National Expert Committee for Cardiovascular Diseases,Professional Committee of Right Heart and Pulmonary Vascular Diseases established a working group.Guided by the"structure-process-outcome"theoretical framework,the group established a medical quality control indicator system for pulmonary arterial hypertension in Chinese adults through literature review,expert discussions,and Delphi expert consultation.The system ultimately comprises 32 primary indicators and 6 secondary indicators.It encompasses three categories of indicators:structure,process,and outcome,with the process indicators further covering diagnosis and risk stratification,initial treatment,and follow-up.This quality control indicator system has laid the theoretical foundation for improving the medical quality of care for Chinese adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension,though it still requires validation and refinement during clinical practice.
