The objective of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) and Dyspnea-12 Questionnaire for patients with bronchiectasis or tuberculous destroyed lung.
For 62 bronchiectasis patients and 37 tuberculous destroyed lung patients, 3 questionnaires including St. George's Respiratory Questionnaires (SGRQ), CAT, and Dyspnea-12 were obtained, in addition to spirometric measurements. To assess the validity of CAT and Dyspnea-12, correlation with SGRQ was evaluated. To assess the reliability of CAT and Dyspnea-12, Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated.
The mean ages of the patients were 60.7±8.3 years in bronchiectasis and 64.4±9.3 years in tuberculous destroyed lung. 46.8% and 54.1% were male, respectively. The SGRQ score was correlated with the score of the Korean version of CAT (r=0.72, p<0.0001) and Dyspnea-12 (r=0.67, p<0.0001) in bronchiectasis patients. The SGRQ score was correlated with the score of CAT (r=0.86, p<0.0001) and Dyspnea-12 (r=0.80, p<0.0001) in tuberculous destroyed lung patients. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the CAT and Dyspnea-12 were 0.84 and 0.90 in bronchiectasis, and 0.88 and 0.94 in tuberculous destroyed lung, respectively.
We found that Korean version of CAT and Dyspnea-12 are valid and reliable in patients with tuberculous destroyed lung and bronchiectasis.
本研究的目的是评估慢性阻塞性肺疾病评估测试（CAT）韩文版和呼吸困难-12问卷在支气管扩张症或结核毁损肺患者中的有效性和可靠性。
对62例支气管扩张症患者和37例结核毁损肺患者，除进行肺功能测量外，还获取了包括圣乔治呼吸问卷（SGRQ）、CAT和呼吸困难-12在内的3份问卷。为评估CAT和呼吸困难-12的有效性，评估了它们与SGRQ的相关性。为评估CAT和呼吸困难-12的可靠性，计算了克朗巴赫α系数。
支气管扩张症患者的平均年龄为60.7±8.3岁，结核毁损肺患者为64.4±9.3岁。男性分别占46.8%和54.1%。在支气管扩张症患者中，SGRQ评分与CAT韩文版评分（r=0.72，p<0.0001）和呼吸困难-12评分（r=0.67，p<0.0001）相关。在结核毁损肺患者中，SGRQ评分与CAT评分（r=0.86，p<0.0001）和呼吸困难-12评分（r=0.80，p<0.0001）相关。支气管扩张症患者中CAT和呼吸困难-12的克朗巴赫α系数分别为0.84和0.90，结核毁损肺患者中分别为0.88和0.94。
我们发现CAT韩文版和呼吸困难-12在结核毁损肺和支气管扩张症患者中是有效且可靠的。
