Cluster analysis identifying patients with COPD at high risk of 2-year all-cause mortality

Abstract: The objective of the article is to identify clusters of patients with COPD according to factors known to be associated with mortality and to verify whether clusters’ assignment is associated with 2-year mortality. Patients (n = 141) were evaluated by bioelectrical impedance, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), one-repetition maximum test of the quadriceps femoris (1RMQF) and BODE index (body mass index; airflow obstruction (spirometry); dyspnea (modified Medical Research Council scale); and exercise capacity (… Show more

“…Recently, Rodrigues and collaborators have suggested in a cluster analysis that the cut-off point of 427 meters in the TC6 is more sensitive to predict mortality in Brazilian patients with COPD than the cut-off point widely used in isolation and also suggested by BODE (e.g. 350 meters) 28 . In addition, Brazilian patients with COPD have a greater exercise capacity then= patients from other regions of the world 29 , which might justify the lower proportion of individuals with higher risk of death.…”

“…This was a cross-sectional analysis with retrospective data from a convenience sample of patients evaluated in the Laboratory of Research in Respiratory Physiotherapy, State University of Londrina, Brazil. Subjects enrolled in these baseline-only analyses took part later in an unrelated longitudinal study [23]. This study was approved by the local ethical committee (n.123/09) and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.…”
