Discussion

Implication

Suggests physical-psychosocial dissociation in severe COPD; leaves open longitudinal validation of generic questionnaires for earlier stages.

Structured PICO

Population

68 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stratified according to pulmonary function, and 89 healthy controls.

Comparator

Healthy control group (n=89)

Outcome

Functional and affective aspects measured by Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), Mood Adjective Check List (MACL), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD)patient reported

Generic self-assessment questionnaires are of limited value for detecting early consequences of COPD but can discriminate between patients with different levels of pulmonary dysfunction in later stages.
