Exploring the relationship between generalised anxiety/depression scales and asthma-specific quality of life/control questionnaires in a specialist asthma clinic.

Conclusions: ACQ and mini-AQLQ correlate with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 amongst specialist asthma clinic attendees. A mini-AQLQ >3 suggests patients are unlikely to have anxiety or depression. These findings could be used to identify patients requiring formal screening for psychological co-morbidity. PMID: 32186425 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
