“…The internal consistency of the German LCQ was good to excellent, with Cronbach’s Alphas between 0.87 to 0.94 for the three subscales. The high internal consistency of the German LCQ, as well as the moderate concurrent validity compared to general health or respiratory-specific HRQL questionnaires, is in line with published data, after translation into several other languages[ 15 , 16 , 19 , 22 , 55 ] as well as in the original LCQ[ 11 ]. In this regard it is astonishing that the Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) of the SF-36 showed a quite high correlation with the LCQ, while the Mental Component Summary Score (MCS) does not.…”

BackgroundCough is one of the most common symptoms in general and pulmonary medicine with profound negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL). The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) is a validated HRQL questionnaire, yet a validated German version of the LCQ is not available and it has never been tested in a cohort with sarcoidosis.ObjectivesTo translate the LCQ into German and determine its psychometric properties.MethodsThe LCQ was translated in a forward-backward approach. Structured interviews in sarcoidosis patients were performed. Subsequently, sarcoidosis patients were asked to answer the German LCQ and comparative questionnaires. Distribution properties, item difficulty, concurrent validity, Rasch model fit and internal consistency of the German LCQ were determined.Results200 patients with sarcoidosis were included. We provide evidence for reliability, unidimensionality and internal consistency. However, only a moderate correlation with general and respiratory-specific HRQL questionnaires, no Rasch model fit could be shown. Skewed responses caused by floor effects were detected.ConclusionWe demonstrate that the German LCQ is valid and reliable and its psychometric properties fulfil the standards required for its use in clinical settings as well as in interventional trials.

“…Concurent validity proved to be strong when LCQ scores were compared to the severity of the most frequent symptoms of sarcoidosis patients -dyspnea and fatigue, as well as to their general healt as assessd by the 15D questionnaire. In other publish studies [12,13,16,19,41] correlations between LCQ scores and diff erent PROs (mainly genetic QoL instruments) were mostly moderate as it was also the case with the original LCQ validation [6].…”

Introduction: Cough is frequent symptom in sarcoidosis and there are no specifi c tools for measurement of its severity in Serbia. Aim: The goal of this study was to translate and validate the Serbian version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) in a population of sarcoidosis patients. Methods: After the LCQ forward-backward translation process, in the cross-sectional study in 275 (180 female) sarcoidosis patients Serbian version of the LCQ was administered together with other standardized instruments for measurement of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)-symptoms of dyspnea (assessed by MRC and Borg scales) and fatigue (measured by Fatigue Assessment Scale and List of Daily Activities), and patients' health status (assessed by generic tool-15D). Pulmonary function tests (spirometry and diff using capacity for carbon monoxide) were also measured. Results: Serbian LCQ version showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of its diff erent scores ranged between 0.901 for physical domain and 0.951 for the total score). Concurent validity assessed by correlations of all LCQ scores with other PROs and pulmonary function tests was very good, since all these correlations were statistically signifi cant. Conclusions: Our results confi rmed that the Serbian version of LCQ is a valid instrument to monitor the infl uence of chronic cough on quality of life in sarcoidosis patients.

“…Fidelity of physical tests was ensured since the tests were also conducted by the same specialized physiotherapist, where all parts were instructed in accordance with the test protocol. The following tests and questionnaires were used to investigate possible responses on exercise from the home exercise training module: the 6-min walking test (physical capacity), 22,23 the sit-tostand test (muscle strength lower extremity), 24,25 1 repetition maximum for elbow flexion (muscle strength upper extremity) and multiple repetitions maximum for elbow flexion (muscle endurance upper extremity), 26 accelerometry (physical activity level), 27 COPD Assessment Test, 19,28 Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Swedish, 29,30 the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 31 and the CSI Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. 32…”

Technology developments and demand for flexibility in health care and in contact with the health care system are two factors leading to increased use of eHealth solutions. The use of eHealth has been shown to have positive effects in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but the full potential for this group needs to be explored. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the feasibility of an eHealth tool used for exercise training and online contacts for people with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The 10-week intervention included an eHealth tool for exercise training in home environment and regular online contacts, as well as weekly e-rounds for health care professionals. Seven of the nine participants completed the study. The eHealth tool was found to be feasible for e-rounds, exercise training and online contacts. Participants could manage the tool and adhere to training; positive effects were shown, and no adverse events occurred. Technical functions need to be improved.
