LOINC long common name : Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire Self-Administered Standardized Format [CRQ-SAS];
LOINC description : The Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire Self-Administered, Individualized Format (CRQ-SAS)
is derived from the original CRQ tool and used to measure health-related quality of
life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic airflow
limitation, or various lung disease. The CRQ-SAS contains five standardized dyspnea
questions about shortness of breath that the respondents have experienced when they
completed certain activities in the past two weeks. Answers are scored on a 7-point
Likert-type scale. Patients with higher scores indicate better health-related quality
of life.[PMID: 14555575];
