Impacto de la EPOC en la vida diaria de los pacientes. Resultados del estudio multicéntrico EIME

COPD impact questionnaire scores correlated well with SGRQ scores and the usual clinical variables and lung function measurements for evaluating disease severity (dyspnea, FEV1, and exacerbations). The questionnaire could, therefore, be a useful tool for identifying fragile patients who, in addition to having poorer clinical status and lung function measurements, have a lower socioeconomic status.
