Do London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire Reflect Limitations During Activities of Daily Living in Patients With COPD?

Activities of daily living lead to oxygen desaturation and high ventilatory demand. London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale reflected 33% and SGRQ reflected 67% of the functional limitation during ADL simulation, such as dyspnea and the metabolic demand during ADL.
