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

CONCLUSION: The main finding was the high correlation between the CAT and the validated questionnaires in CF. The CAT is a PRO instrument that can be filled quickly and that correlates well with the CFQ-R. The CAT or similar tools might be applicable in the care of CF patients.
