Dyspnoea-12 and Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile: Systematic review of use and properties.
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 2021 July 15
CONTEXT: The Dyspnoea-12 (D-12) and Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) were specifically developed for assessment of multiple sensations of breathlessness.
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to identify the use and measurement properties of the D-12 and MDP across populations, settings and languages.
METHODS: Electronic databases were searched for primary studies (2008-2020) reporting use of the D-12 or MDP in adults. Two independent reviewers completed screening and data extraction. Study and participant characteristics, instrument use, reported scores and minimal clinical important differences (MCID) were evaluated. Data on internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC) were pooled using random effects models between settings and languages.
RESULTS: A total 75 publications reported use of D-12 (n=35), MDP (n=37) or both (n=3), reflecting 16 chronic conditions. Synthesis confirmed two-factor structure, internal consistency (Cronbach's α mean, 95%CI: D-12 Total=0.93, 0.91-0.94; MDP Immediate Perception [IP]=0.88, 0.85-0.90; MDP Emotional Response [ER]=0.86, 0.82-0.89) and 14-day test-rest reliability (ICC: D-12 Total=0.91, 0.88-0.94; MDP IP=0.85, 0.70-0.93; MDP ER=0.84, 0.73-0.90) across settings and languages. MCID estimates for clinical interventions ranged between -3 and -6 points (D-12 Total) with small variability in scores over 2 weeks (D-12 Total 2.8 (95%CI: 2.0 to 3.7), MDP-A1 0.8 (0.6 to 1.1) and six months (D-12 Total 2.9 (2.0 to 3.7), MDP-A1 0.8 (0.6 to 1.1)).
CONCLUSION: D-12 and MDP are widely used, reliable, valid and responsive across various chronic conditions, settings and languages, and could be considered standard instruments for measuring dimensions of breathlessness in international trials.
