Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire - Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Version (SGRQ-I)
SGRQ-I consists of 34 self-complementing items. It was developed as an IPF-specific version of SGRQ. Different scales are used to score the SGRQ-I, resulting in an overall score and three domain scores: Effects, Activities, and Symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more impaired health related quality of life.
Secondary outcomes
Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
It is a 76-item questionnaire in which the total score and the three-component score are calculated. Components; symptoms (difficulty caused by symptoms such as cough, sputum, shortness of breath, and wheezing), activity (activity that causes or is limited by shortness of breath), and impact (social and psychological impact of the illness). Each item has its own weighted score. These weighted scores are not dependent on age, gender, disease duration and severity. It is not focused on a single language and culture. The evaluation feature of the questionnaire and its distinctiveness in different diseases and at different levels are high. Each of these scores ranges from 0 to 100. 0 indicates best health, 100 indicates worst health.
