The C-SOBQ score for each patient was correlated with a set of criterion parameters including age, body mass index (BMI), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) test, lung function physiological parameters, BODE index, the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale (MMRC Dyspnoea Scale), and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) COPD classifications.
