Clinical trials and national performance measures increasingly mandate reporting patients’ perspectives of their health status: their symptoms, function and quality of life. While the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) is a validated disease-specific health status instrument for coronary artery disease (CAD) with high test-retest reliability, predictive power, and responsiveness, its use in routine clinical practice has been limited, in part, by its length (19 items). Using data from 10,408 patients with CAD from 5 multi-center registries, we derived and validated a shortened version of the SAQ (SAQ-7) among patients presenting with stable CAD, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We examined the psychometric properties of the SAQ-7, as compared with the full SAQ. Seven items from the Physical Limitations, Angina Frequency, and Quality of Life domains were identified for the SAQ-7, with high levels of concordance (0.88–1.00) with each original SAQ domain. The SAQ-7 demonstrated good construct validity (compared with Canadian Cardiovascular Society class for angina), with an correlation of 0.62 and 0.38 for patients with stable CAD and undergoing PCI, respectively. It was highly reproducible in patients with stable CAD (intra-class correlation of ≥0.78) and exhibited excellent responsiveness in patients after PCI (≥18 points in each SAQ domain). Finally, the SAQ-7 was predictive of 1-year mortality and readmission. To increase the feasibility of measuring patient-reported outcomes in patients with CAD, we developed and validated a shortened 7-item SAQ instrument for use in clinical trials and routine care.
