Seattle Obstructive Lung Disease Questionnaire: sensitivity to outcomes in pulmonary rehabilitation in severe pulmonary illness.
To evaluate the ability of the Seattle Obstructive Lung Disease Questionnaire (SOLDQ) to detect change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following a pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) and to determine associations with other functional indicators. ⋯ After participation in a PRP, all 3 SOLDQ subscales improved significantly and were associated with other indicators of function. These findings validate the SOLDQ as a measure sensitive to functional changes associated with participation in pulmonary rehabilitation.

Usefulness of the human activity profile, a functional performance measure, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
To further evaluate the usefulness of the Human Activity Profile (HAP) as a functional performance measure for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ The utility of the HAP as a measure of functional performance improvement in COPD is supported by its relationship with both 6MWD and dyspnea and its responsiveness to pulmonary rehabilitation.
