High burden of symptoms reported among patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Greenland after introducing the COPD Assessment Test in clinical practice
The aim was to test the internal consistency of the Greenlandic version of the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire and to estimate the symptom burden in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Greenland using the CAT questionnaire. A Greenlandic version of the CAT question...
