Article Synopsis
- The study explores the experiences and needs of informal caregivers (ICs) involved in shared decision-making (SDM) for patients over 70 with severe aortic stenosis (AS).
- It found that while most ICs prefer to be collaborative partners in decision-making, they often feel overlooked by healthcare professionals when it comes to discussing the patient's daily life.
- Higher perceived involvement in SDM is linked to better quality of life and lower distress for ICs, emphasizing the need for professionals to actively include them in the decision-making process.
Aim: To provide insight into the basic characteristics of decision making in the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (SSAS) in Dutch heart centres with specific emphasis on the evaluation of frailty, cognition, nutritional status and physical functioning/functionality in (instrumental) activities of daily living [(I)ADL].
Methods: A questionnaire was used that is based on the European and American guidelines for SSAS treatment. The survey was administered to physicians and non-physicians in Dutch heart centres involved in the decision-making pathway for SSAS treatment.
Objective: To provide insight into professionals' perceptions of and experiences with shared decision-making (SDM) in the treatment of symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).
Methods: A semistructured interview study was performed in the heart centres of academic and large teaching hospitals in the Netherlands between June and December 2020. Cardiothoracic surgeons, interventional cardiologists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants (n=21) involved in the decision-making process for treatment of severe AS were interviewed.
This review provides an overview of the status of shared decision making (SDM) in older patients regarding treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (SSAS). The databases Embase, Medline Ovid, Cinahl and Cochrane Dare were searched for relevant studies from January 2002 to May 2018 regarding perspectives of professionals, patients and caregivers; aspects of decision making; type of decision making; application of the six domains of SDM; barriers to and facilitators of SDM. The systematic search yielded 1842 articles, 15 studies were included.

Design: Prospective cohort study.
Method: Between July 2011 and May 2013, 497 patients at high risk of CIN were prepared for elective iodine-based contrast investigations according to the Dutch CBO guideline.
