We studied the relationship between personality profiles, @entity1353 perception and clinical and functional features in 36 outpatient @entity748 (12 females; age range: 18-52 yr). Each @entity1 underwent psychometric evaluation with Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). @entity1353 was evaluated by Borg's scale during @entity2710 (M) challenge, and @entity33362 (the perception score obtained when FEV1 fell by 20%) was recorded. Baseline FEV1 values ranged from 70.0 to 126%. PC20 M values ranged from 0.05 to 31.7 mg/ml. According to a symptoms score system (0 to 12 points), 12 @entity748 were classified as mild, 12 as moderate, and 12 as moderate/severe. We did not find any specific personality profile in @entity748 @entity1 . Sixteen @entity748 had at least one MMPI subscale score indicative of @entity132 . We found a significant trend from mild to moderate and moderate/severe @entity748 (p < 0.015), when the number of @entity748 with subscale scores indicative of @entity132 was compared to that of @entity748 with normal scores. Moreover, we found that the @entity748 with scores indicative of @entity16251 showed a significant trend from mild to moderate and moderate/severe @entity565 (p < 0.015). Furthermore, in all @entity748 @entity1 , @entity16251 scores were positively correlated to @entity565 severity score (p < 0.02). @entity33362 values ranged from 0.1 to 8.1. Twelve @entity748 were hypoperceivers ( @entity33362 < or = 1) and four were hyperperceivers ( @entity33362 > or = 5). We observed a significant trend from mild to moderate and moderate/severe @entity748 (p < 0.025) when we compared the number of hypoperceivers to that of normoperceivers. In conclusion, we found that in outpatients with different grading of @entity565 , severity of disease is linked to @entity132 and poor perception of @entity1353 , additionally, @entity16251 was related to disease severity in all @entity1 .
