Improvements in outcomes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attributable to a hospital‐based respiratory rehabilitation programme

Abstract: An outpatient, hospital-based respiratory rehabilitation programme pragmatically adapted for clinical utility produces substantial and clinically significant improvements in exercise tolerance and QOL, similar in type and magnitude to those obtained in controlled clinical trials. There was an associated reduction in COPD-related morbidity. Such gains were mostly maintained for six months after completion of the programme. Thus respiratory rehabilitation must be regarded as an essential component of a comprehen… Show more

“…Based on dyspnea, the effort intensity was similar in both sessions. The variations in S pO 2 and heart rate during exercise were indeed identical and independent of the auditory stimulus. We did not observe an impact of music on exercise capacity, as was demonstrated previously.…”

“…Adherence to exercise training in pulmonary rehabilitation programs is variable and related more to psychosocial than physiological impairment. 1,2 It can be negatively influenced by dyspnea, anxiety, and perceived exertion. In 2006, the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society mentioned in their joint statement that all strategies to improve adherence need to be investigated.…”

“…Exacerbation was defined as in the ISOLDE (Inhaled Steroids on Obstructive Lung Disease in Europe) study as a deterioration in respiratory symptoms requiring treatment with corticosteroids or antibiotics, or both, as prescribed by the attending physician [16]. In addition, all patients were familiar with and able to perform 6-min walk (6MW) tests in a repeatable manner, due to previous or current participation in the study centre9s pulmonary rehabilitation programme [17]. Patients were excluded if they had significant limiting or unstable comorbidities.…”
