Modified Borg Scale (mBorg), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the Dyspnea- 12 Scale (D- 12): cross-scale comparison assessing the development of dyspnea in early-stage lung cancer patients
This study highlights interscale concordance and key contributors to breathlessness in operable early-stage lung cancer patients. All three scales validly measure dyspnea, with the D-12 and NRS offering a holistic assessment by including affective-dyspnea scores.
