Associations between PCD-specific health-related quality of life (QOL-PCD) outcomes and clinical measures

Conclusions: Perception of daily symptoms and functioning in patients with PCD showed moderate association with hearing level, but not with cross-sectional measurements of lung function. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether the QOL-PCD depicts treatment interventions and differences in trends of longitudinal lung function.
