As originally described in the American Heart Journal, 1 the International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA) trial has randomized patients with moderate or severe ischemia to an early invasive or conservative treatment strategy. The primary goals of treating patients with stable ischemic heart disease are to avoid disease progression and to improve their health status: their symptoms, function and quality of life. Accordingly, the primary disease progression outcome is a 5-component composite clinical outcome (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for unstable angina, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or heart failure) and the key secondary outcome is patients’ self-reported health status.In the original study protocol and in the description of the study in the American Heart Journal, the health status analysis plan was to focus on angina symptoms and angina-related quality of life, as measured by the Angina Frequency and Quality of Life Scales from the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). 2 Subsequent to funding of the ISCHEMIA trial, a shortened, 7-item, version of the SAQ was introduced that not only reduced the response burden of the SAQ, but also introduced a Summary Score that integrates patients’ symptoms, function and quality of life into a single score that ranges from 0 (the worst health status) to 100 (no angina, no physical limitations and no angina-related impacts on patients’ quality of life). 3 Because the SAQ Summary Score integrates all of the disease-specific impacts of coronary artery disease on patients’ health status, we are altering the original analytic plan to have the SAQ Summary Score, as acquired by the Brief Symptom Survey (7-item SAQ) collected throughout study follow-up, serve as the primary health status outcome and the key secondary endpoint of the ISCHEMIA trial.
