Abstract:
Background and objective The Mandarin Chinese version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ-MC) is a symptom specific questionnaire designed to assess the impact of cough severity, a major symptom of postoper-ative patients undergoing lung resection is cough. The aim of this study is to validate the LCQ-MC in patients with lung opera-tion. Methods Totally 121 patients undergone the lung operation of single medical team, from September 2015 to April 2016 in the Thoracic Surgery Department of West China hospital Sichuan University, were investigated by LCQ-MC before and after operation. We analyzed and calculated the preoperative and postoperative scores of LCQ-MC and Cronbach α. Results ①The mean LCQ-MC score in preoperative (19.57±1.73) was significant higher than postoperative (17.71±2.72) (P=0.041). ②The Cronbach α in preoperative (0.87) and postoperative (0.89) was significant higher than 0.7. ③The preoperative scores of LCQ-MC (19.31±1.84) was significantly lower in postoperative cough group than in without postoperative cough group (19.97 ±1.46) (P=0.038). The postoperative scores of LCQ-MC (16.67±2.91) was significantly lower in postoperative cough group than in without postoperative cough group (19.30±1.32) (P=0.001). ④There was no statistical difference (P=0.936) between postoperative LCQ-MC score (17.75±2.51) in lobectomy group and non-lobectomy group (17.79±3.04). Conclusion The LCQ-MC can assess the condition of cough after thoracoscopic surgery in patients with pulmonary disease.
