AB  - Health-related quality of life (HRQL) has been an important field of research for 
      the last 10 years, the result being several questionnaires used to measure it. 
      Measuring HRQL is important in order to evaluate the impact of the disease on 
      patient life, but in the same time it can be used to measure the therapeutic 
      effect of pharmacological or non-pharmacological therapies (i.e. oxygen therapy, 
      respiratory rehabilitation, lung transplant), in placebo-controlled or 
      comparative studies, together with more classical measures (i.e. FEV1). In this 
      paper we present the main questionnaires used to quantify the quality of life, 
      including generic questionnaires and questionnaires specific to chronic 
      respiratory diseases. We describe ways of administration, domains, scores, 
      minimally clinical important difference (MCID), characteristics of a good 
      questionnaire and basic informations regarding the main standardised respiratory 
      questionnaires: AQLQ, CRDQ and SGRQ. We are finally focusing on the Romanian 
      version of SGRQ (SGRQ-RO).
