Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptom Diary (CFRSD) and Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score (CRISS©)
Symptoms assessed in the CFRSD-CRISS are: difficulty breathing, cough, cough up mucus, chest tightness, wheeze, feeling feverish, tired, and chills/sweats. The 8 items quantify symptom severity for the previous 24 hours to capture the magnitude of symptoms in stable CF, during medically treated CF exacerbations, and during recovery from an exacerbation. The CFRSD also includes emotional and activity impacts. Emotional impacts include frustration, sadness/depression, irritability, worry, and difficulty sleeping. Activity impacts include time spent sitting or lying down, reduction of usual activities, and missing school or work.
