[The use of Juniper's @entity565 quality of life questionnaire in Chinese XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity565 @entity748
OBJECTIVE: One of the most important objectives in the management of @entity565 is to improve the quality of life of @entity1 . We summarized our experience in using Juniper's @entity565 quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) in Chinese @entity748 . METHODS: Measurement instruments included self-administered AQLQ mandarin Chinese version and its standardized version. The data were from 210 AQLQ evaluations from 96 @entity1 . RESULTS: AQLQ and its four domains weakly correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) except the environment domain (r: 0.201 - 0.284). If the @entity748 @entity1 were graded into 4 groups based on FEV(1), AQLQ and its four domains significantly detected the differences among the groups. The change of AQLQ, however, was not correlated with the change of FEV(1). The change of AQLQ domain of symptoms was correlated with the change of peak expiratory flow. CONCLUSION: The Juniper's AQLQ performs well in Chinese @entity748 . AQLQ is correlated with pulmonary function and probably more sensitive and accurate than pulmonary function in the evaluation of disease severity.
