What is Assessment of dyspnea in sarcoidosis using the Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) and the Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) about?
## Introduction: The Borg and Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scales have been used to evaluate dyspnea in sarcoidosis. The Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) and Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI) are useful for the assessment of dyspnea in COPD. It is not known if the BDI-TDI accurately assesses dyspnea in sarcoidosis patients. Methods: Data was analyzed from the Registry for Advanced Sarcoidosis (ReAS), a multi-national database enrolling patients with advanced sarcoidosis and a comparison group of sarcoidosis patients with non-advanced disease. At baseline, patients completed a BDI questionnaire along with spirometry, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), mMRC, Borg score, fatigue assessment score (FAS) and HRQoL assessments using Kings Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ) and St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). At 12-months, patients with advanced disease completed a TDI questionnaire along with the other measures. Correlations between BDI and baseline variables, and between TDI and changes in baseline variables were evaluated. Results: There was significant correlation (p < 0.001 for all) between BDI and baseline 6MWD (rho = 0.336), FVC % (rho = 0.387), FEV1% (rho = 0.285)
