The authors studied the relationship between patient self-reported symptoms and responses to a general measure of health-related quality of life [Short Form 36 (SF-36)] for 102 patients who had chronic lung disease [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) < 70%]. The primary diagnoses were chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma; the mean age was 62 years, and 46% were women. Based upon Medical Research Council (MRC) symptom scores, the patients' disease severity was classified as mild (21%), moderate (22%), or severe (57%). The SF-36 scores differed significantly between disease severity groups in domains of health perception, physical functioning, physical role, and energy. The SF-36 physical functioning and Oxygen Cost Diagram scores correlated well (r = 0.78). The authors conclude that SF-36 is a useful and valid measure of general health status in patients with chronic lung disorders.
作者研究了102例慢性肺病患者（一秒用力呼气量[FEV1]<70%）自我报告的症状与健康相关生活质量的一般测量指标[简明健康状况调查问卷（SF-36）]反应之间的关系。主要诊断为慢性支气管炎、肺气肿和哮喘；平均年龄为62岁，46%为女性。根据医学研究委员会（MRC）症状评分，将患者的疾病严重程度分为轻度（21%）、中度（22%）或重度（57%）。在健康感知、身体功能、身体角色和精力等领域，SF-36评分在疾病严重程度组之间存在显著差异。SF-36身体功能评分与氧耗图评分相关性良好（r = 0.78）。作者得出结论，SF-36是慢性肺病患者总体健康状况的一种有用且有效的测量指标。
