| Popis: | The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2023 recommends a comprehensive multidimensional assessment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and stresses the need for evaluation of their health status and quality of life (QOL). COPD assessment test (CAT), clinical COPD questionnaire (CCQ) and St. George Respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) are recommended by GOLD for such assessments. However, their correlation with spirometry in the Indian population is not known. Other similar questionnaires like COPD and sleep impact scale (CASIS), functional performance inventory-short form (FPI-SF) and COPD and asthma fatigue scale (CAFS) though used internationally as a research tool, are still in the offspring stage and have never been used in India. A cross-sectional study was hence conducted in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab, India on 100 COPD patients. Patients were assessed for health status and QOL by CAT, CCQ, SGRQ, CASIS, FPI-SF and CAFS. The relationship between these questionnaires and airflow limitation was investigated. The majority of the patients were males (n=97) and >50 years of age (n=83), illiterate (n=72), had moderate/severe COPD and belonged to group B (n=66). The mean value of forced expiratory volume in one second (%FeV1) decreased with a deterioration in CAT and CCQ score grouping (p |
