Journal ArticleDOI
Descriptors of breathlessness in cardiorespiratory diseases.
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with different cardiorespiratory conditions experience distinct qualities of breathlessness and patients' recall of their sensations of breathlessness is reliable and comparable to dyspnea with walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
An official American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society statement: research questions in COPD

TL;DR: Recommendations for research that addresses important gaps in the evidence in all areas of COPD were formulated via discussion and consensus, and the types of research that leading clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates believe will have the greatest impact on patient-centred outcomes were highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Dyspnea and Physiologic Function on General Health Status in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Donald A. Mahler,Kathy Faryniarz,Donald Tomlinson,Gene L. Colice,Arthur G. Robins,Elaine M. Olmstead,Gerald T. O'Connor +6 more
TL;DR: Dyspnea ratings influence and predict general health status to a greater extent than do physiologic measurements in symptomatic patients with COPD, and this consideration requires that health-care providers use available measuring tools in clinical practice to quantify symptoms, as well as overall health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
The MCID of the Transition Dyspnea Index is a Total Score of One Unit
TL;DR: It is recommended that a patient's report of global ratings of change by used as an independent standard or anchor of the TDI establish the MCID of the interview-administered and/or the SAC TDI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concurrent use of indacaterol plus tiotropium in patients with COPD provides superior bronchodilation compared with tiotropium alone: a randomised, double-blind comparison
Donald A. Mahler,Donald A. Mahler,Anthony D'Urzo,Eric D. Bateman,Serir A Özkan,Tracy White,Clare Peckitt,Cheryl Lassen,Benjamin Kramer,Intrust study investigators,Intrust study investigators +10 more
TL;DR: Indacaterol plus tiotropium provided greater bronchodilation and lung deflation (reflected by increased resting IC) and support COPD guideline recommendations to combine Bronchodilators with different mechanisms of action.
