Abstrakt:	The article discusses a study that examined the potential of using the Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) to predict clinical deterioration (CD) in patients with subtypes of pulmonary hypertension (PH), idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Findings suggest that CAMPHOR may be used to estimate the likelihood of CD when emphasis is placed on the evaluation of patient perceptions.
