To assess the linguistic equivalence of the COPD Assessment Test versions in Catalan (CAT-C), Galician (CAT-G) and Basque (CAT-V) with the validated Spanish version (CAT) in COPD patients able to use both official languages. ⋯ CAT-C, CAT-G and CAT-V scores were similar to CAT scores, with high correlation and concordance.
