Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the health-related quality of life of patients using oral anticoagulants by validating a translated Arabic version of the Duke Anticoagulation Satisfaction Scale (DASS) to measure satisfaction levels.
- A total of 505 patients on anticoagulation therapy completed the DASS and a generic quality of life measure (EQ-5D-5L), with psychometric properties showing good reliability and validity for the Arabic version of DASS.
- The findings indicate that the Arabic DASS effectively measures patient satisfaction with anticoagulant treatment and can be used by healthcare professionals to improve treatment adherence and patient outcomes.
