Interstitial Lung Disease Patients’ Global Impressions of Symptoms, Severity Ratings, and Meaningfulness of Changes Over Time

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: PGISs can be used as anchors for meaningful change analyses of PROMs that assess SOB or cough in patients with ILD. Patient global impressions of change demonstrate present-state bias and should not be used. Patients' descriptions paint a vivid picture of lived experience with varying levels of symptom severity and can help contextualize change scores.
