OSU Center for Health SciencesVascuQoL-6 is a disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument that has been validated for the assessment of health-related quality of life in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This tool addresses the PAD patient’s own perception about his or her actual functional walking capacity, pain discomfort, or the social and emotional implications of living with PAD. The use of (HRQoL) instruments, like the VascuQol-6, increases the sensitivity in detecting clinically relevant changes in health status in response to treatment.
