Validation of the Mandarin Chinese version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in non‐small cell lung cancer patients after surgery

Abstract: BackgroundThere are no validated and reliable cough‐specific instruments to assess health‐related quality of life with respect to postoperative cough in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We used the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Mandarin‐Chinese (LCQ‐MC) and investigated the validity, reliability, and repeatability of this instrument.MethodsA total of 130 NSCLC patients (average age 58.75 ± 9.43 years, 65 men, 65 women) completed the LCQ‐MC, cough Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Cough Symptom Score … Show more

“…No matter at baseline or after treatment, CET has shown a strong correlation with cough VAS and LCQ-MC, and its correlation intensity were significantly higher than that between cough VAS and LCQ-MC, and were also higher than those between cough VAS or LCQ-MC and other measures, indicating CET was useful to assess cough severity and cough-related quality of life. Although intraclass correlation coefficient of LCQ-CM was lower than that in the previous researches (0.89-0.96) [5,9,10], but it still has excellent level of repeatability. The intraclass * P < 0.0001 # correlation between CET and cough VAS versus correlation between VAS and LCQ-MS or correlation between VAS and CSS daytime/nighttime (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0143, P < 0.0001, respectively) & correlation between CET and LCQ-MC versus correlation between VAS and LCQ-MS or correlation between LCQ-MS and CSS total/daytime/nighttime (P = 0.0002, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, respectively) correlation coefficient of cough VAS (0.85) was almost the same as Birring's data (0.84) [5], indicating VAS also has a stable and excellent test-retest reliability.…”

“…(2) The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) is a 19-item questionnaire that assesses cough related quality of life [5]. LCQ-MC was used and presented as its total score in this study, which had already been validated in bronchiectasis and in non-small cell lung cancer patients after surgery [9,10]. (3) CSS is a two-part questionnaire relating to cough symptoms during the day and at night [4].…”

“…All patients enrolled needed to complete the Mandarin Chinese Version of LCQ [13] preoperatively in the ward, and patients with postoperative cough were required to complete the LCQ at 2 weeks and 4 weeks postoperatively via the out-patient department, email, or WeChat. The LCQ was usually used for measuring chronic cough, but recent evidence showed there was also high validity and responsiveness in assessing acute cough or postoperative cough [7,14,15]. The LCQ is easy to complete taking less than 5 min by themselves.…”
