Hospitalisations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are characterised by a significant worsening of the respiratory symptoms which can impair the health status (HS). However little is known on the HS behaviour during such events. Prospective study evaluating the validity of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) as a HS measure in hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations. The CCQ total score (CCQ-T) correlated with EQ-VAS (-0.51, p < 0.0001), was able to discriminate between longer and shorter duration hospitalisation (CCQ-T 3.83 vs 3.03, respectively p = 0.001), had a Cronbach-alpha of 0.86, and improved significantly over the hospitalisation period (CCQ-T on day 7 of hospitalisation 2.55 vs 3.77 at baseline, p < 0.0001). CCQ is an excellent tool for the assessment of the HS dynamics in hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations.
