תקציר	The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a simple, rapid, patient-centered measure of COPD symptom burden and functional impact. Developed by Paul Jones and colleagues in 2009, this 8-item questionnaire captures how COPD affects cough, sputum, chest tightness, breathing difficulty, activity limitation, confidence, sleep, and energy. It is used worldwide in clinical practice to guide disease management decisions and as a primary outcome measure in COPD clinical trials.	The ACT is a simple, rapid, patient-centered measure of asthma control. Developed by Robert Nathan and colleagues in 2004, this 5-item questionnaire quantifies how asthma symptoms, activity limitation, and nighttime awakening affect daily life. It is the most widely used asthma control measure in clinical practice and is recommended by major asthma guidelines as a standard assessment tool.
