Summary

Aim of this multicenter prospective cohort study is the evaluation of the multidimensional qualities of dyspnea in a number of diseases using the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (Banzett et al, ERJ 2015).

Detailed description

The study sites will examine patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in state of acute exacerbation and in stable state, patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) in state of acute decompensated cardiac insufficiency, and patients newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a control group. In the acute setting of COPD and CHF, the questionnaire will be given at the day of hospital admission and at the day of discharge. The patients will additionally fill the Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) Questionnaire (in COPD) or the Physical Activity Questionnaire 50+ (in CHF). In stable state of COPD, the questionnaires will be given once during a routine control visit at the hospital or the medical practice. In OSA, the questionnaire will be given once during the first visit in the sleep laboratory.

Conditions

• COPD Exacerbation
• CHF
• OSA
• COPD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile	The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile measures the intensity of dyspneic breathing discomforts. It tests five sensory qualities that describe the patient's dyspnea in its respective intensity. Additionally it includes five potential reactions. The MDP is designed to refer to a specific event of time.
