Auto-evaluation of Dyspnea
Completed
- Conditions
- Lung Diseases
- Registration Number
- NCT03598569
- Lead Sponsor
- Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain
- Brief Summary
The primary aim of this study was to compare patients-rated evaluation and caregiver's assessment of dyspnea with the standard tools in pulmonology unit (Borg scale and visual analog scale) and the secondary aim was to performed an analysis depending on the diseases (lung cancer vs. other lung diseases) and to verify the agreement between the evaluation between both visual analog scale and modified Borg scale.
