Background: the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the two most commonly used generic and disease specific health-related quality of life (hrqol) measures in patients with chronic lung disease due to sm:medical outcomes study short form 36-item (sf-36) and st george's respiratory questionnaire (sgrq).methods: this is a secondary analysis of iranian chemical warfare victims health assessment study (icwvhas)during october 2007 in isfahan, iran. in that survey, conducted in an outpatient setting, 292 patients with chronic lungdisease due to sm were selected from all provinces in iran. the total score and sub scores of correlations of sgrq andsf-36 were assessed. correlation of quality-of-life scores were evaluated using pearson’s coefficient.results: samples were 276 patients who were selected for our analysis. no significant correlation was found between the total score or sub scores of sf-36 and the total score or sub scores of sgrq (p > 0.05).conclusions: in patients with chronic lung disease due to sm, the sf-36 and sgrq assess different aspects ofhrqol. therefore applying both of them together, at least in the research setting is suggested.
