Popis: OBJECTIVES: The London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale (LCADL) is a simple, useful, and comprehensive measure of dyspnea perception in activities of daily living. This study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the LCADL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 64 patients with obstructive lung disease (24 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 20 asthma, and 20 bronchiectasis patients) were included. The Turkish LCADL was evaluated for interobserver reliability, test–retest reliability, and criterion validity. Two different observers applied the scale with an interval of 10 minutes to assess interobserver reliability. The second observer applied the scale twice at an interval of 10–15 days to assess test–retest reliability. Criterion validity was assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). RESULTS: The interobserver reliability of the scale was very high (r(s)=0.985, p
