Telephone Administration of the Human Activity Profile Questionnaire in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease: Methodological Study.
Article in JMIR rehabilitation and assistive technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire is widely used to assess functional capacity in patients with chronic diseases. However, its remote administration via telephone has not been validated in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD), despite the increasing need for accessible assessment methods, particularly in contexts involving mobility limitations or reduced access to in-person care. Objective: We aimed to validate administration of the HAP questionnaire via telephone in patients with CVD who were participating in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program. Methods: This methodological study included 56 patients with CVD (36/56, 64% men; mean age 75.14, SD 10.28 years). Participants completed the HAP twice, once face-to-face and once by telephone, with a 3- to 14-day interval. Maximum activity score (MAS) and adjusted activity score (AAS) were analyzed. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach α, test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and agreement between modalities was assessed using Bland-Altman plots. Paired comparisons between modes were performed using mean differences (MDs) and P values. Results: MAS values did not differ significantly between face-to-face and telephone administration (mean 79.11, SD 11.48 vs mean 82.71, SD 7.48; MD -3.61; P=.10). AAS values showed a similar pattern (mean 69.11, SD 14.18 vs mean 71.21, SD 13.43; MD -2.11; P=.05). Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach α=0.919), and reliability was high (ICC=0.794 for MAS; ICC=0.910 for AAS). Bland-Altman analyses demonstrated acceptable limits of agreement for MAS (-19.3 to 12.1) and AAS (-17.6 to 13.4), with no systematic bias. Conclusions: The HAP questionnaire administered by telephone demonstrates high reliability, excellent internal consistency, and strong agreement with face-to-face application. Telephone-based administration represents a valid, practical, and accessible alternative for assessing functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular disease, particularly when in-person evaluations are not feasible.
