Aim. to determine the most informative and simple questionnaire for assessment of the exacerbations risk, health status and quality of life in COPD patients.
Methods and results. We examined 78 patients with stable COPD. Participants completed the following questionnaires: CAT, CCQ, SGRQ and mMRC. The most significant differences between groups were according to the CAT results. Patients distribution into groups according to the results of CAT, CCQ and SGRQ corresponded to the GOLD 2013 classification. Only A and B groups significantly differed according to the results of mMRC .
Conclusion. The most informative questionnaire for COPD patients classification , and for future risks identifying was CAT, compared with mMRC and CCQ. mMRC can be used only at low risk of exacerbations. Quality of life was significantly worse in patients with high risk of exacerbations than in patients with the same severity of symptoms and low risk of exacerbations.
