About the MacNew questionnaire

The MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure for people with heart disease. It evaluates health-related quality of life over the preceding two weeks across physical, emotional, and social domains.

The instrument contains 27 items rated on a 7-point scale. Higher scores indicate better perceived health-related quality of life. Items may contribute to more than one domain, so the domain scores are not necessarily independent sets of items.

Scoring notes

• Official domain scores are means of the applicable answered items for each domain.
• The official global score is calculated from the scored questionnaire items, subject to the instrument's missing-item rules.
• More than 50% missing items in a domain means that domain score should not be calculated; follow the scoring guidance for the exact questionnaire version used.
• The mean displayed by this page gives equal weight to the three entered domain means and is only a descriptive summary, not the official global score.
