Association of High Sensitive CRP Level and COPD Assessment Test Scores with Clinically Important Predictive Outcomes in Stable COPD Patients
BACKGROUND High sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) is used as a marker of systemic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, we hypothesize that the raised hs-CRP is not closely related to the multiple consequences of COPD. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of COPD assessment test (CAT) score with SpO2, FEV1, body mass index (BMI), obstruction, dyspnea an...
متن کاملCreating scenarios of the impact of copd and their relationship to copd assessment test (CATTM) scores
Background: The COPD Assessment Test (CATTM) is a new short health status measure for routine use. New questionnaires require reference points so that users can understand the scores; descriptive scenarios are one way of doing this. A novel method of creating scenarios is described. Methods: A Bland and Altman plot showed a consistent relationship between CAT scores and scores obtained with the...

متن کاملThe Relationship between COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Scores and Severity of Airflow Obstruction in Stable COPD Patients
BACKGROUND COPD is a major cause of morbidity in smokers. The COPD assessment test (CAT) is a validated test for evaluation of COPD impact on health status. CAT is not a diagnostic test and pulmonary function test (PFT) still remains the most important diagnostic test. However, its predictive value for evaluation of disease impact is weak. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation...
متن کاملChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test scores corresponding to modified Medical Research Council grades among COPD patients
BACKGROUND/AIMS In assigning patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to subgroups according to the updated guidelines of the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, discrepancies have been noted between the COPD assessment test (CAT) criteria and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) criteria. We investigated the determinants of symptom and risk groups and ...
