Distribution of PSGWBI total index score from PCD patients and controls. Legend: Psychological general well-being index (PSGWBI) questionnaire was administered in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) patients (n = 17) and healthy controls (n = 17) ≥15 years. The PSGWBI is organized into subscales, the subscales sum provides a total index score for subjective well-being (range 0–110). Considering ‘distress’ as the reverse of well-being, a total score <60 suggests ‘severe distress’, while the ‘moderate distress’ and ‘no distress’ categories are defined with a total score between 60 and 72, and >72, respectively. Each point (red and black for PCD patients and controls, respectively) represents the total index score obtained by a single subject. Horizontal bars represent the mean values. The dashed line represents the total index score of 60. Only one PCD patient and two controls presented pathological scores. There were no significant differences of total index score between PCD patients and healthy controls (p > 0.05).
