COPD assessment test

The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a questionnaire designed to evaluate the health status of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It consists of eight questions that cover various aspects of daily life, such as coughing, breathlessness, and energy levels. By scoring responses, healthcare providers can better understand the impact of COPD on a patient's life and tailor treatment plans accordingly. The CAT helps monitor disease progression and the effectiveness of treatments, contributing to improved management of the condition.
