(1991) covering three domains of health in airways disease patients, suggests that the SGRQ may already be used in Spain and in international studies involving Spanish respiratory patients.

Measuring physical function in community-dwelling older persons : a comparison of self-administered, interviewer-administered, and performance-based measures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared self-administered, interviewer-assessed, and performance-based measures of physical function in community-based older persons, and found that the relationship between commonly used selfadministered and interviewer assessed measures were inconsistent and weak, suggesting that these instruments are not measuring the same construct.

Measuring disease-specific quality of life in clinical trials
TL;DR: This article describes a pragmatic approach to questionnaire construction that yields consistently satisfactory disease-specific measures of quality of life and outlines a more efficient, less costly strategy that leaves reproducibility, responsiveness and validity untested.
