Fig. 1From: A meta-analysis of four randomized clinical trials to confirm the reliability and responsiveness of the Shortness of Breath with Daily Activities (SOBDA) questionnaire in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseChange in the SOBDA prior week score by TDI (a), SGRQ (b), CAT (c), and trough FEV1 (d) response. *Response was defined as a TDI focal score of at least 1 unit. †Response was defined as a change from baseline in SGRQ total score of ≤ −4. ‡Response was defined as a change from baseline in CAT score of ≤ −2 (studies DB2113360 and DB211374 only). §Response was defined as a change from baseline in trough FEV1 of ≥100 mL. Analyses performed using analysis of covariance adjusted for SOBDA baseline score and geographic region. Error bars represent the 95 % CIs. CAT, COPD Assessment Test; CI, confidence interval; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; LS, least squares; SGRQ, St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire score; SOBDA, Shortness of Breath with Daily Activities; TDI, Transition Dyspnea IndexBack to article page
