Özet:

 

Background/aim: The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) have been evaluated  before. This study aimed to validate the Turkish version of the LCQ in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with  cough.  Materials and methods: COPD (GOLD B, C, D) patients over age 40 (n = 75) and healthy volunteers as a control group (n = 75) were  included. A sociodemographic data form, the LCQ, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire, and the World Health  Organization Quality of Life Brief Form for Turkish people were completed. The internal reliability of the LCQ was determined using  the Cronbach alpha coefficient (>0.6) and its repeatability by the intraclass consistency coefficient (P 0.6). In test-retest reliability, the correlation coefficient ranged between 0.71 and 0.80 for each  question and was calculated as r = 0.89 for total LCQ score (P < 0.001).  Conclusion: The Turkish version of the LCQ has been found to have acceptable reliability and validity for use in Turkish COPD patients  with chronic cough.
