SF-12 was designed to reduce the burden of response on the individual as it uses only 12 questions to measure the functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view, under the same eight domains as SF-36 which are 1) Limitations in physical activities because of health problems, 2) Limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems, 3) Limitations in regular role activities because of physical health problems, 4) Bodily pain, 5) General mental health (psychological distress and well-being), 6) Limitations in regular role activities because of emotional problems, 7) Vitality (energy and fatigue), and 8) General health perceptions Qualitative variables are described in proportions and quantitative variables are described in mean and standard deviation / median and inter-quartile range.…”

Among the various respiratory diseases, COPD is the primary cause of disability and the second most significant contributor to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) during the year 2016 [4].…”
