St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire

The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is a tool doctors use to assess how lung diseases like COPD or asthma affect a person's daily life. It asks about symptoms like cough and breathlessness, how the condition impacts activities and sleep, and overall health feelings. Patients answer questions, which helps healthcare providers understand the severity of the disease and how well treatments are working. The SGRQ provides a standardized way to measure quality of life related to respiratory health, guiding treatment decisions and tracking changes over time.
