ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) questionnaire and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Short Form v1.0-Fatigue 7a (PROMIS-F SF-7a) have the potential to measure respiratory and fatigue symptoms, respectively, in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease but have not yet been evaluated for content validity in this population.

Methods

Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted in United States patients with a current MAC lung disease diagnosis. Concept elicitation (CE) interviews were conducted (n = 25 participants) to identify key respiratory and fatigue symptoms expressed as important and relevant to patients with MAC lung disease and to evaluate the appropriateness of the QOL-B and PROMIS-F SF-7a to me
