Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) & Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)
Interviewer-administered rating of severity of dyspnea at a single state. It provides a multidimensional measurement of dyspnea based on 3 components that evoke dyspnea in activities of daily living, in symptomatic individuals. Measures changes in dyspnea severity from the baseline as established by the BDI.
Dyspnoea Index (DI) How to complete this Questionnaire: • These are statements many people have used to describe their sense of breathlessness and breathing problem, and the effects of their breathing on their lives. • Please circle the response that indicates how frequently you experience the same symptoms
Dyspnea Index: An upper airway obstruction instrument; …
Reliability, repeatability, responsiveness and construct validity were assessed by asking the subjects to complete the swDI, a visual analog scale (VAS) at exertion and at rest and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI).
Development and validation of the Dyspnea Index (DI): a severity index …
The DI is an effective and efficient instrument to quantify patients' symptoms of upper airway dyspnea. It is a statistically robust index, with significant reliability and validity, and can be dependably used as a treatment outcome measure.

2014年2月7日 · A 24-item interviewer administered rating of severity of dyspnea at a single state. There are 3 categories and 24 items in the instrument: 1) Functional impairment - Functional loss is evaluated during occupational activities/daily living 2) Magnitude of task - assesses what daily living tasks can provoke dyspnea
Dyspnea/Breathlessness - American Thoracic Society
Dyspnea with 10 activities, frequency and intensity of dyspnea under 5 conditions: Scaling of items: Modified Likert 0-10 with verbal descriptors. Degree of dyspnea, 0 = none, 1-3 = mild, 4-6 = moderate, 7-9 = severe, 10 = very severe. Scoring: Total Score (TS) of …
The Baseline and Transition Dyspnea Indexes (BDI-TDI) - Mapi …
The Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) measures the severity of dyspnea at the baseline (or the beginning of a clinical trial). The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) measures changes from this baseline (transition period) at subsequent visits. The test is applicable to patients with dyspnea on exertion or at rest due to respiratory disease.
To improve the clinical measurement of dyspnea, we developed a baseline dyspnea index that rated the severity of dyspnea at a single state and a transition dyspnea index that denoted changes from that baseline. The scores in both indexes depend on ratings for three different categories: functional impairment; magnitude of task, and magnitude of ...
Measures of dyspnea in pulmonary rehabilitation - PMC
Defined in 1959 by Fletcher et al. the MRC scale, the first clinical scale for the determination of dyspnea, is a 5-point scale based on the sensation of breathing difficulty experienced by the patient during daily life activities (Table 2). Patients, reading the scale, are invited to recognize their own level of respiratory fatigue or, as is ...
Development and Validation of the Dyspnea Index (DI): A Severity Index …
2014年11月1日 · The goal of the Dyspnea Index (DI) study was to fill the gap in reliable and valid resources for evaluating psycho-physiological impact of upper airway dyspnea by developing, validating, and clinically testing an instrument quantifying the severity of dyspnea symptoms relating to the upper airway.
