Abstract

Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients decrease lung function, increase symptoms and reduce health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We evaluated associations between 8 symptom-based questions from the Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptom Diary - Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score (CFRSD-CRISS) and the 5-level EuroQOL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5 L) summary score and hypothesized the CFRSD-CRISS would be well-correlated with quality-of-life measures among CF patients with PEx.
