Activity-related dyspnea is not modified by psychological status in people with COPD, interstitial lung disease or obesity

Highlights ► Spirometry and lung volume measurements are recommended for dyspnea evaluation. ► Psychological status assessment is also recommended. ► We show that spirometry and lung volume measurements have limited usefulness. ► We show that dyspnea (MRC score) is not affected by psychological stat...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Spirometry and lung volume measurements are recommended for dyspnea evaluation. ► Psychological status assessment is also recommended. ► We show that spirometry and lung volume measurements have limited usefulness. ► We show that dyspnea (MRC score) is not affected by psychological status. ► Statistical analysis shows that specific resistance is a main descriptor of function.
