Background: Health status and quality of life are impaired in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). To assess these parameters in ILD patients no valid and reliable questionnaire exists in German language so far. The K-BILD questionnaire is a brief and valid tool to evaluate health status in ILD patients, with no validated German version. Method: The linguistic validation of K-BILD was carried out in a multistage process in collaboration with the developer of the questionnaire and bilingual, professional translators. Review by the developers and back translations as well as clinical assessment by ILD patients ensured that the translated questionnaire reflected the intention of the original K-BILD. Results: A German version of K-BILD with 15 questions concerning the health status was composed. The questions cover the three domains breathlessness and activities, psychological aspects and chest symptoms. Problems in understanding or difficulties in replying to the questions were not stated by the ILD patients. Conclusion: The German version of the K-BILD questionnaire allows the clinical and scientific use to measure reliable health quality in ILD patients.
