St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire
The SGRQ is a 76-item disease-specific quality-of-life instrument designed to measure health status in patients with chronic respiratory disease, particularly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Developed by Jones and colleagues at King's College London in 1991, it has become the gold standard for assessing functional impact and symptom burden in respiratory populations. The SGRQ is widely used in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and routine respiratory care to track changes in patient-reported outcomes.
