Body image concerns in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator: association with other patient-reported outcome measures
Patients with BICs reported poorer PROs. The PRO instruments were not able to predict patients with BICs, indicating that the ICD-BICQ provides independent relevant clinical information. In clinical practice, healthcare professionals can use the ICD-BICQ to identify and obtain information on possible BICs. The ICD-BICQ can also be used to evaluate new operation techniques.
