  5. The Severe Asthma Questionnaire (SAQ)

The Severe Asthma Questionnaire (SAQ)

A questionnaire to assess quality of life in severe asthma

Watch the webinar

  • Date 12 December 2019
    Time 10:00 - 11:00
    Location Webinar
    Timezone America/New York

    Join us to learn about the Severe Asthma Questionnaire (SAQ), a new patient reported outcome (PRO). The SAQ was developed according to FDA PRO guidelines that requires patient input.  The questionnaire takes into account not only the impact of impact of asthma symptoms but also the effects of treatment on Health related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The SAQ is a validated tool for use in clinical practice, in clinical trials and is currently being added to international patient registries.

    What you will learn:

    • Understand why questionnaires designed to measure quality of life in mild and moderate asthma are not valid when used for severe asthma
    • Learn how the SAQ was developed using input from patients as recommended by FDA PRO guidelines.
    • Learn about the content of the SAQ and the different types of problems that patients with severe asthma have.
    • Learn how to use the SAQ in clinical practice and in clinical trials.
    • Learn about new and ongoing research using the SAQ.

    The SAQ was designed by patients for patients. Patients were treated as partners in the process of questionnaire construction rather than only as a source of information.  The SAQ measures quality of life deficit in of 16 different domains as well as measuring quality of life on a 100 point scale of global quality of life. The questionnaire produces two scores: the SAQ score is the aggregation of the 16 domains and the SAQ-global score is the figure given on the 100 point scale.  The scale takes between 3 and 6 minutes to complete, but completion time reduces on subsequent occasions.

    The SAQ can be used in clinical practice to gain insights into living with severe asthma from the patient’s perspective.  Evidence demonstrates its superior cross-sectional sensitivity and its design makes it a sensitive tool to measure response in severe asthma clinical trials.

    Target Audience:

    Healthcare professionals interested in severe asthma
    Clinical researchers
    Pharmaceutical company personnel involved in severe asthma
    People living with severe asthma
