Validation of the Polish version of Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire.
Improvement in the quality of life (QoL) is an essential outcome in patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF). However, its reliable and comparative assessment is difficult in this highly heterogeneous group of patients. Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire (SRI) has shown to have high psychometric properties to measure specific health-related QoL in patients with CRF due to different pathologies. ⋯ Our study demonstrated that the Polish version of the SRI is valid, reliable, and reproducible and may be used in research involving CRF.
