The Nijmegen questionnaire is a screening method for the early identification of hyperventilation syndrome [38]. This instrument was translated and validated into Spanish in the population with asthma in 2005 by Martínez-Moragón et al. [39]. Its sensitivity is 91% and its specificity is 95% [39]. It has 16 items and 3 components (dyspnea and central and peripheral tetany). The frequency of sensations and symptoms related to hyperventilation syndrome is evaluated through a response scale ranging from 0 ("never") to 4 ("always"). A score of ≥ 23 is considered hyperventilation syndrome [39]. Numerous articles [38, 39] have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method to obtain a differential diagnosis in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
