背景资料：我们的目的是开发日本版的COPD评估测试（TM）（CAT），这是最近在国外开发的，以衡量慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者的健康状况，并验证其psychometric properties.Methods：原CAT翻译成日语，通过语言验证。然后，进行了一项基于互联网的调查，包括301名日本COPD患者谁是40岁以上，有吸烟史，以评估翻译CAT的信度和效度。结果：日本CAT被证明具有较高的内部一致性（克朗巴赫的？系数：0.891）。使用日本CAT的评估与使用COPD特异性圣乔治呼吸问卷的评估高度相关（r = 0.820）。结论：日本版CAT具有较高的信度和效度，可作为一种简明的问卷，用于准确评估日本COPD患者的健康状况。(C)2012日本呼吸学会。Elsevier B.V.出版版权所有
Background: We aimed to develop the Japanese version of the COPD Assessment Test (TM) (CAT), which was recently developed in overseas countries, to measure the health status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to validate its psychometric properties.Methods: The original CAT was translated to Japanese through linguistic validation. Then, an Internet-based survey was conducted by including 301 Japanese patients with COPD who were over 40 years of age and had a history of smoking, to assess the reliability and validity of the translated CAT.Results: The Japanese CAT was shown to have high internal consistency (Cronbach's ? coefficient: 0.891). The assessment using the Japanese CAT was highly correlated with assessment using the COPD-specific St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (r = 0.820). The assessment also showed correlation between the Japanese CAT and a generic health-related quality of life (QOL) questionnaire (SF-12v2).Conclusion: The Japanese version of the CAT has high reliability and validity, and can be expected to serve as a short and simple questionnaire for precise assessment of the health status of Japanese patients with COPD.
