“…3 For comparison, the Cronbach α coefficient for Hindi was 0.83, 4 and for Korean, 0.85. 5 The test-retest reliability of the Polish version was very good, with a Spearman rank coefficient of 0.95 (P <0.001) and good repeatability also for each question. The test-retest reliability of the original version of the questionnaire was also very good, with an internal consistency correlation coefficient of 0.8.…”

INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. 1 According to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD) strategy, the diagnosis of COPD is still based on spirometry, but symptom assessment is crucial for proper treatment decisions. 2 From a clinician's perspective, there is a need for a reliable and validated assessment tool that could improve communication between the physician and patient. The COPD Assessment Test

Background and objectiveThere is a dearth of studies on the clinical presentation of patients with post-pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) sequelae and its impact on their quality of life (QoL). In light of this, we conducted this study to analyze the clinical profile and QoL in patients with post-PTB sequelae. MethodsPatients with a history of treated PTB and evidence of radiological damage were enrolled prospectively from November 2018 till June 2020 to study their clinical profile and QoL as per the eligibility criteria. A detailed clinical history was taken along with posteroanterior-view chest X-rays and CT scans of the thorax with bronchial angiography in patients with hemoptysis. QoL was assessed using the Hindi version of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) for which permission was obtained from the St. George's University of London. SGRQ scores were calculated using score calculation algorithms (Microsoft Excel-based) and missing data imputation as recommended by its developer. ResultsA total of 174 patients were included in the analysis. The analyzed population was relatively younger (mean age: 44.27 years) with BMIs leaning toward the lower side of normal (median: 19.6 kg/m²); the majority of the patients were males (59%) and non-smokers (77%). PTB had been diagnosed clinico-radiologically in the majority (68%) of patients with non-compliance to antitubercular treatment (ATT) being reported by only 9% of patients. Multiple courses of ATT were received by about one-third of patients, mainly on a clinicoradiologic basis. Systemic hypertension (HTN) (11%) and diabetes mellitus (DM) (9%) were the most common comorbidities. The most common symptom complex found was cough, expectoration, and dyspnea (n=102, 59%). At least one incidence of massive hemoptysis was reported by 20% of patients. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was performed for moderate to massive hemoptysis in 26% of patients with a success rate of >90%. One-fifth of the study participants required hospitalization for exacerbation of respiratory symptoms with more than half of these (59%) requiring ventilatory support. Health-related QoL was significantly impaired as reflected by a median SGRQ total score of 45.53. The most affected domain of QoL was the activity domain (mean score: 45.47). Females had worse QoL as compared to males (p=0.0062), and so did underweight patients (p=0.048). The prolonged duration of the illness also significantly impaired the QoL (p<0.001, r=0.313). ConclusionThe sequelae of PTB are under-recognized even among physicians and are frequently misdiagnosed as active PTB. The QoL is more severely affected due to residual damage. This study highlights the clinical profile of this patient population and underscores the need to recognize post-PTB sequelae as a separate entity. An important remedy to mitigate its long-term consequences is its inclusion and recognition in national and international TB guidelines to facilitate its early identification and promote further research to address its evidence-based management.
