Sažetak
Background: Patient reported outcomes (PROs), such as health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and health status (HS), represent the patient perspective and therefore a relevant outcome. Chronic respiratory diseases as sarcoidosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, are potential risk factors for poor PROs. The aim of our study was to assess PROs and suggest improved symptom treatment and prevention efforts to improve them. Methods: 255 participants of both sexes with COPD, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) (85 in each group) self-completed two questionnaires: the generic WHOQOL-BREF instrument measuring physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environment, and disease specific St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) measuring and quantifying HRQOL in patients with chronic airflow limitation. Lung function and 6 minute walk test (6MWT) were conducted according to ATS/ERS guidelines. Results: HRQOL was significantly different between three groups using both questionnaires for all domains (p<0.001 for all) with at least affecting group with sarcoidosis. There was a significant association of HRQOL with functional parameters but the most constant association with HRQOL for all tested groups was found with the level of dyspnea after exertion (6MWT). Conclusion: In these three distinct groups of patients dyspnea limiting exercise capacity is the common predictor of deterioration of HRQOL/HS.
