Easy measurement of health related quality of life in patients with cystic fibrosis by the COPD assessment test (CAT) - A pilot study

Quality of life (QOL) is an important patient-related outcome (PRO) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). There are several QOL questionnaires like the “Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised” (CFQ-R) or the “St George's Respiratory Questionnaire” (SGRQ) that are well validated in CF. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the easily applicable “COPD assessment test” (CAT) can be used in CF patients.
