Development and linguistic validation of the Korean version of the Severe Asthma Questionnaire.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe asthma, compared with mild to moderate asthma, has a larger impact on the quality of life (QOL) of the affected patients and their families. These findings underscore the need for patient-reported outcomes that are specific to severe asthma. The Severe Asthma Questionnaire (SAQ) is a validated disease-specific questionnaire that addresses the impact of severe asthma on patients. The present study aimed to develop the Korean language version of the SAQ (SAQ-K), with the translation and linguistic validation.

Methods

The development of SAQ-K was achieved through a process of forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, reconciliation, cognitive debriefing involving severe asthmatics, proofreading, and the final report.
