The most widely used assessments are the St. George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and the COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaire. Both have a different difficulty in exam completion, calculation, and scoring. No studies exist that analyze the validity and internal consistency of using both questionnaires on patients admitted to the hospital for a COPD exacerbation. A multicenter, cross-sectional analytic observational study of patients admitted to the hospital due to a COPD exacerbation (CIE 491.2). During their hospital stay, they were administered the SGRQ and the CAT questionnaire within the framework of a therapeutic education program (APRENDEPOC). Descriptive and comparative analysis, correlations between the scales (Pearson\u2019s correlation index), consistency and reliability calculations (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1), and a forward stepwise multiple linear regression were performed, with significant correlations in both questionnaires considered p &lt; 0.01 with the total scores. A statistical significance of p &lt; 0.05 was assumed. Altogether, 231 patients were admitted for a COPD exacerbation ( n = 77) at Hospital Cl\u00ednic of Barcelona (HCB) and ( n = 154) at Hospital Universitario General of Castell\u00f3n (HUGC). The sample profile was not homogeneous between both centers, with significant differences in HRQL between hospitals. Correlation were noted between both scales ( p &lt; 0.01), along with high levels of internal consistency and reliability (CAT 0.836 vs. SGRQ 0.827). The HRQL is related to dyspnea, wheezing, daytime drowsiness, and edema, as well as to the need to sleep in a sitting position, anxiety, depression, and dependence on others in the execution of daily activities. Our regression analysis showed that the SGRQ questionnaire could predict more changes in HRQL with a higher number of variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1479972318761645","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]],"date-time":"2018-03-12T23:54:52Z","timestamp":1520898892000},"page":"374-383","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Comparative analysis of the psychometric parameters of two quality-of-life questionnaires, the SGRQ and CAT, in the assessment of patients with COPD exacerbations during hospitalization: A multicenter study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0210-6162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Folch Ayora","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universitat Jaume I, Castell\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loreto","family":"Macia-Soler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1504-575X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Isabel","family":"Orts-Cort\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Cl\u00ednic de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nuria","family":"Seijas-Babot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Cl\u00ednic de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00160007"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr2-1479972318761645","first-page":"171","volume":"83","author":"Mathers CD","year":"2005","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"bibr3-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arbres.2017.03.018"},{"key":"bibr4-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201204-0596PP"},{"key":"bibr5-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.117.2_suppl.5S"},{"key":"bibr6-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15412550903150252"},{"key":"bibr7-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1579-2129(06)60576-4"},{"key":"bibr8-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00102509"},{"key":"bibr9-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2012.07.017"},{"key":"bibr10-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.96.09061160"},{"key":"bibr11-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00177210"},{"key":"bibr12-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-015-0983-x"},{"key":"bibr13-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.46.9.676"},{"key":"bibr14-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/145.6.1321"},{"key":"bibr15-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/15412555.2011.630248"},{"key":"bibr16-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.52.10.879"},{"key":"bibr17-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1045","DOI":"10.2147\/COPD.S99793","volume":"11","author":"Tsiligianni IG","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis"},{"key":"bibr18-1479972318761645","first-page":"11","volume":"179","author":"Ninot G","year":"2013","journal-title":"Health Qual Life Outcomes"},{"key":"bibr19-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HCR.0000000000000090"},{"key":"bibr20-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.157.3.9703055"},{"key":"bibr21-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/COPD.S104947"},{"key":"bibr22-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0132670"},{"key":"bibr23-1479972318761645","first-page":"11","volume":"42","author":"Jones PW","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMC Pulm Med"},{"key":"bibr24-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2014-007536"},{"key":"bibr25-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1843.2012.02131.x"},{"key":"bibr26-1479972318761645","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hernandez Carcereny C, Seijas N, Folch A, Impact of therapeutic education program for COPD patients on preventing readmissions (Aprendeepoc).
