DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: PILOT STUDY TO DETERM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们计划在研究的第1年入组50例患者。 PH研究人员/研究协调员将负责筛选患者，对于参与研究的患者，将获得知情同意书，收集病史并确定WHO功能分类。 GCRC门诊诊所将进行剩余的评估，包括6分钟步行试验、博格呼吸困难评分、实验室检查和基于网络的计算机数据系统上的调查完成。 如以下评估时间表所列，患者将接受两次研究相关访视，相当于GCRC门诊部的总访视约100次。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We plan on enrolling 50 patients in Year 1 of the study. The PH study personnel/study coordinator will be responsible for screening patients and, for participating patients, will obtain informed consent, collect the medical history, and determine WHO functional class. The GCRC outpatient clinic will perform the remainder of the assessments, including six-minute walk test, BORG dyspnea score, labs and survey completion on a web-based computerized data system. As listed in the schedule of assessments below, patients will have two research-associated visits, which is equivalent to approximately 100 total visits on the GCRC outpatient unit.
