Validity of a quality of well-being scale as an outcome measure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Robert M. Kaplan; Catherine J. Atkins; Richard M. Timms

This paper evaluates the validity of the Quality of Well-being Scale (QWB) as an outcome measure for research on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Quality of Well-being Scale was originally designed for use as a general health outcome measure. One criticism of this approach has been that it may not be valid in studies limited to a specific disease or condition. We report correlations between the QWB and a variety of other outcome measures obtained in an experimental trial evaluating the benefits of behavioral programs for COPD patients. The data from the trial suggest that the QWB is substantially correlated with both performance and physiological variables relevant to the health status of COPD patients. An advantage of the QWB is that it can be transformed into well-year units for cost-effectiveness studies. It is concluded that the QWB has many advantages as an outcome measure for specific disease groups.

Reduced inspiratory effort during intermittent mandatory ventilation with PEEP.

Bernard B. Brach; Frank Yin; Richard M. Timms; Kenneth M. Moser

The use of intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) may demand the patient mount an inspiratory pressure equivalent to the pressure level of the PEEP for spontaneous breathing. During respiratory failure, ineffective inspiratory muscles may be unable to consistently meet such demands, especially if high levels of PEEP are used. A technique which reduces the required inspiratory effort was devised for use in patients being treated with IMV and PEEP. Using this technique, isovolume inspiratory time was dramatically reduced and less inspiratory effort was required. This maneuver may assist spontaneous breathing in patients with respiratory failure on high levels of PEEP.
