Concept | Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale |
Description | The mMRC scale is a self-rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day-to-day activities on a scale from 0 to 4. |
Use | Use to record the characterisation baseline dyspnea in patients with respiratory disease such as COPD. Whilst it moderately correlates with other healthcare-associated morbidity, mortality and quality of life scales (particularly in COPD) the scores are only variably associated with patients' perceptions of respiratory symptom burden. It is used as a component of the BODE Index, which predicts adverse outcomes, including mortality and risk of hospitalisation. The scale is easy and efficient to use and can be used to categorize patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in terms of their disability. |
Purpose | To record the expression of dyspnea the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale. |
