The relationship between cognitive function and competence in inhaler technique in older adults with airway disease
TL;DR: In this paper , a prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between cognitive function and competence in inhaler technique and found that low K-MMSE scores were associated with lower odds ratio for the competence of the "exhale" step (adjusted odds ratio= 0.23, p = 0.018).

Evaluation of Clinical Methods for Rating Dyspnea
TL;DR: The results show that the BDI, MRC scale, and OCD provide significantly related measures of Dyspnea, and the clinical ratings of dyspnea correlate significantly with physiologic parameters of lung function; and breathlessness may be related to the pathophysiology of the specific respiratory disease.
