Domains Ratified During OMERACT 11 Proceedings - Forging Consensus Between Distinct Stakeholders with Special Considerations

Domains from Combined Investigations	Special Considerations
DYSPNEA	Unexpected language and contextual factors Consider need for disease-specifics instrument development
COUGH	Pervasive impact on Dyspnea and HRQoL Core Set inclusion received 100% endorsement Consider need for disease-specific instrument development
HEALTH RELATED QUALITY of LIFE (also captures patient global assessment)	Consider need for disease-specific instrument development HRQoL is impacted by uncertainty surrounding disease outcome HRQoL may be impacted by physician-patient communication
LUNG PHYSIOLOGY/FUNCTION	Patients and physicians care about this domain Patients are anxious about performance-related results (re: poor result of spirometry because of ‘effort’ or a ‘bad day’)
LUNG IMAGING	Patients and physicians care about this domain
SURVIVAL	Patients and physicians care about this domain Patients want to communicate about prognosis and handling episodic exacerbations
MEDICATIONS	Important to both stakeholder groups Incremental increase/decrease may be useful as a disease activity marker but depends on targeted therapy
