Table 2.

Known groups validity: the least-squares mean baseline SOBDA weekly score by mMRC and CGI-S response categories at visit 2

Response categories Patient-completed mMRC (n), LS mean SOBDA score (SE) Clinician-completed mMRC (n), LS mean SOBDA score (SE) CGI-S (n), LS mean SOBDA score (SE)
0 12, 1.92 (0.19)
0–1 12, 1.78 (0.20)
1 103, 1.94 (0.07) 19, 1.87 (0.16)
2 138, 2.20 (0.06) 200, 2.08 (0.05) 236, 2.11 (0.05)
3 65, 2.26 (0.08) 117, 2.28 (0.06) 78, 2.33 (0.08)
4 22, 2.73 (0.14) 10, 2.73 (0.22) 5, 2.72 (0.31)

Owing to the small number of 0 and 1 responses in the clinician-completed mMRC, these two categories were combined.

CGI-S, Clinician Global Impression of Dyspnoea Severity; LS, least squares; mMRC, modified Medical Research Council; SOBDA, Shortness of Breath with Daily Activities.
