DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: PILOT STUDY TO DETERM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 我们计划在研究的第一年招募50名患者。PH研究人员/研究协调员将负责筛查患者，对于参与研究的患者，将获得知情同意，收集病史，并确定世卫组织的职能类别。GCRC门诊诊所将进行其余的评估，包括六分钟步行试验、Borg呼吸困难评分、实验室和在基于网络的计算机化数据系统上完成调查。如下面的评估时间表所列，患者将有两次与研究相关的就诊，这相当于GCRC门诊单位的总就诊次数约为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.
