Results: 40 patients study, mean age 32.6 + 14.0 years, FEV1 2.7 1.0 L (89.2% 23.6% predicted). score 15.9 5.8; rating 3.4 1.0. internal consistency reliability 5-item survey alpha = 0.92. correlation moderate between specialists ( r 0.482, P 0.002) treatment -0.350, 0.027). low 0.185, 0.259). distinguished with different F 3.37, 0.02) need change therapy 3.62, 0.037). areas under curve (ROC) for ACT, FEV1, independent variables were 0.720, 0.721, 0.766 respectively. All results comparable initial work development Conclusion: valid tool control. correlates better than FEV1.
