Title Acronym
PEmb‐QoL
Description
This disease‐specific questionnaire was developed to assist physicians in monitoring treatment interventions after acute PE. The advantage of disease‐specific questionnaires over generic instruments of QoL is that these can be considered to have higher sensitivity for detecting subtle but clinically relevant alterations in QoL caused by the studied condition or treatment. PEmb‐QoL is a valuable instrument for determining the disease‐specific QoL in patients with previous acute PE. This questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument of QoL following acute PE and may identify patients with impaired health perception.
