Our aim was to evaluate the use of the 5-point Likert scale for dyspnea to assess the degree of pulmonary congestion and to determine the prognostic value of this scale for predicting adverse events in heart failure outpatients. METHODS: We undertook a prospective study of outpatients with ...
Methods In this preliminary multicenter prospective observational study, we included patients who had metastatic or locally advanced cancer, were receiving specialized palliative care services, and had a dyspnea intensity of ≥3 on a 0–10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (worst during the last 24 h)...
On average, patients with MRC dyspnea grade 1/2 may clearly suffer from extra-pulmonary features, indicating the necessity to refer these patients for rehabilitation. Therefore, MRC dyspnea scale alone does not appear to be a suitable measure to identify most patients with COPD who have to be ...
To evaluate available clinical methods (self ratings and questionnaire) for rating dyspnea, we (1) compared scores from the recently developed baseline dyspnea index (BDI) with the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and the oxygen-cost diagram (OCD) in 153 patients with various respiratory ...
The load was individually titrated to reflect a severe dyspnea intensity level (5 on the 0-10 Borg scale). Ventilatory parameters were measured continuously. Inspiration was interrupted for 150ms every 2-6 breaths to induce a respiratory related-evoked potential (RREP) in the electroencephalogram. ...
A standard questionnaire assessed demographics, Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, QOL EQ-5D-5L scale (mobility, ability to self-care, ability to perform usual activity, pain, and anxiety), and the World Health Organization (WHO)-5 well-being index.#Wilcoxon signed-rank, ...
The severity of dyspnea on the MRC scale was: MRC 1 - male 19,96%, female 35,34% (p<0,001); MRC 2 - male 15,47%, female 27,21% (p<0,001); MRC 3 - male 11,26%, female 18,18% (p< 0,001); MRC 4 - male 5,86%, female 10,84% (p<0,001); MRC 5 - male 1,...

This study investigated the use of the Chinese translation of CAT in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and its correlation with the mMRC dyspnea scale.METHODS\nThe multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 329 hospitals throughout China from March 1 to April 30, 2010. Chronic ...
Measurements:Forty-nine patients (29 women and 20 men; mean [卤 SD] age: women, 29 卤 6 years; men, 31 卤 11 years) underwent direct evaluations (Borg scale evaluation during a 6-min walk test) and indirect evaluations (modified Medical Research Council [MRC]score) of their dyspnea, ...
