New turkish scale helps measure breathing trouble in silent patients
NCT ID NCT06922292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a Turkish version of the Respiratory Distress Observation Scale (RDOS) in 100 adult palliative care patients who cannot describe their breathing trouble. The scale uses eight physical signs like heart rate and restlessness to rate distress. The goal was to see if the Turkish version is reliable and valid for use in clinics.
