The BCSS scale includes one question for each of the symptoms of breathlessness, cough, and sputum. The total BCSS score ranges from 0 to 12; higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. The minimally important difference has been defined as a change in total score of greater than 0.3 units. Baseline is mean of 10 days prior to treatment.
