Development and first validation of the COPD Assessment Test
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to develop a short validated patient-completed questionnaire, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), assessing the impact of COPD on health status, which has good measurement properties, is sensitive to differences in state and should provide a valid, reliable and standardised measure of COPd health status with worldwide relevance.

A self-complete measure of health status for chronic airflow limitation. The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.
TL;DR: The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a valid measure of impaired health in diseases of chronic airflow limitation that is repeatable and sensitive andMultivariate analysis demonstrated that SGRQ scores summed a number of areas of disease activity.

A measure of quality of life for clinical trials in chronic lung disease.
TL;DR: It has been shown that the questionnaire is precise, valid, and responsive and can therefore serve as a useful disease specific measure of quality of life for clinical trials.

How should we measure function in patients with chronic heart and lung disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that exercise capacity in the laboratory can be differentiated from functional exercise capacity (the ability to undertake physically demanding activities of daily living) and that the walk test provides a good measure of function in patients with heart and lung disease.
