咳嗽とQOL

結論として、”呼吸器疾患の種類にかかわらず、疾患横断的に、咳は健康状態と逆相関を示す。
LCQとCQLQともに咳嗽の程度に関して追加情報をもたらす点で 重要
である”ということ

ただ、属性に関して疾患毎の違いがありそうである・・・慢性咳嗽の心理的側面、

Comparison of Two Cough-Specific Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaires

2つの咳特異的HRQoLのスコアの横断的比較

・Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ)
・Cough Quality of Life Questionnaire (CQLQ)


+一般的HRQoL測定である、EuroQolも施行

147名(慢性咳嗽 83名、COPD 18名、喘息 20名、気管支拡張 26名)


【結果】2群間でLCQとCOLQの有意な差なし(p = 0.24 and p = 0.26, respectively)

アンケートの属性毎の検討解析は4群間の心理的問題・機能的障害の違いが見いだされた (p = 0.01 and p = 0.05, respectively)

COLQスコアは、慢性咳嗽者において、心理的問題が気管支拡張患者より多く (p = 0.03) 、COPD患者より機能障害が少ない(p=0.04)ことを示唆する。

4疾患群全てで、一般健康状態に有意差がある(p = 0.04)。


CQLQとLCQの有意な逆相関が見られた(慢性咳嗽 r = – 0.56, p < 0.001; COPD r = – 0.49, p = 0.04; 喘息 r = – 0.94, p < 0.001; 気管支拡張 r = – 0.88, p < 0.001)。

EuroQol VASにおける有意な相関がCOPD患者では認められる (r = 0.639, p = 0.004) が、咳アンケートスコアとFEV1の関連は認められない
