St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Definition 1

A standardized rating scale developed by Jones et al in 1992, which is a shorter version derived from the original SGRQ, and used to measure health impairment and perceived well-being (quality of life) in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has also been used in patients with bronchiectasis, post tuberculosis, kyphoscoliosis and sarcoidosis. The questionnaire contains 2 parts of 14 questions. Part 1 comprises questions 1 to 7 and addresses the frequency of a subject's respiratory symptoms. Part 2 has questions 8 to 14 and addresses the patient's current state. (NCI Thesaurus)
