To study any discriminative properties of SF-36 and QQL-EPM in stable and non-controlled moderate asthmatic patients.
A total of 63 asthmatic patients were assessed regarding asthma symptoms, FEV1 % predicted value, PEF, ED visits and hospitalizations, QQL-EPM and SF-36 questionnaires.
QQL-EPM highlighted significance in all domains to distinguish stable from non-controlled patients (p = 0.0001) while SF-36 was only significant in 3 of its 7 domains (p = 0.009).
The study showed that the specific quality of life questionnaire for asthma (QQL-EPM) demonstrates better discriminative properties that characterize asthma control when compared with the more generic SF-36 questionnaire.
研究SF-36和QQL-EPM在稳定型和未控制的中度哮喘患者中的鉴别特性。
共对63例哮喘患者进行了哮喘症状、预测FEV1%值、呼气峰流速（PEF）、急诊就诊和住院情况、QQL-EPM和SF-36问卷调查评估。
QQL-EPM在区分稳定型和未控制型患者的所有领域均显示出显著性（p = 0.0001），而SF-36仅在其7个领域中的3个领域具有显著性（p = 0.009）。
该研究表明，与更通用的SF-36问卷相比，哮喘特异性生活质量问卷（QQL-EPM）在表征哮喘控制方面具有更好的鉴别特性。
