⚙️ Associated Monitoring Rules 

To use the COPD Questionnaire effectively, the relevant monitoring rules associated with COPD must be enabled. To enable the rule:

1. Go to the User Management Portal.
2. Navigate using the left-hand panel to Rules Management.
3. Search for "CAT Score".
4. ✅ Enable the rule that will allow you to identify patients whose CAT score and MRC Grade you'd like to monitor.

🔍 How the CAT score is calculated

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) score is calculated based on the sum of values responded to each of the questions 2 to 9 in the questionnaire. For example,

• if the patient answers 3 for each of the eight questions, then the CAT score is a total of 24.

• if the patient answers 5 for each of the eight questions, then the CAT score is a total of 40.
