OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of the modified Borg scale to estimate lung impairment, measured via FEV1 in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted with cystic fibrosis patients, 6-18 y old. With the modified Borg scale we evaluated their subjective perceptions of dyspnea before and after submaximal exercises, and its correlation with lung function (spirometry), 6-min walk test (6MWT), and nutritional status according to body mass index. RESULTS: Forty-one patients (mean +/- SD age range 11.1 +/- 4.1 y), were included in the study. The median (and interquartile range) modified Borg scale score after 6MWT was 2 (1-3). The mean percent-of-predicted FEV1 (FEV1%) was 97 +/- 32%. The Z score of the 6MWT distance (6MWTZ) for 61% of the patients was
