The Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire (MRADLQ) is a reliable tool for assessing functional level in COPD patients, but it hadn't been validated in Hong Kong prior to this study.
A Chinese version with pictorial enhancements (C-MRADLQ) was developed and tested for reliability and validity among 238 COPD patients and 64 controls.
Results show that C-MRADLQ has excellent reliability and strong correlations with various COPD assessment metrics, indicating it can effectively predict overall patient condition in a clinical setting.
