“…30,31 Major challenges in realising the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation are that a proportion of people who have COPD and hence AECOPD have not been diagnosed, 32 and a large proportion of those who have been diagnosed and are eligible for pulmonary rehabilitation are not being referred 22 . In addition the England and Wales national COPD audit programme, which includes data from both the acute hospital settings and primary care, reported that 31% of patients referred for rehabilitation did not attend the initial assessment, and 40% of those referred did not complete the programme 22,33 .…”

There is geographic disparity in availability because most programs are located at tertiary care centers and require patients to travel to the program two or three times a week 293032.…”

“…Despite this, pulmonary rehabilitation is only available to a small sliver of COPD patients who could benefit [4,5], as compared to the almost universal availability of bronchodilator therapy. The reasons for this discrepancy are hard to understand, since both therapies receive strong international recommendation as standard of care [6] and some analyses judge pulmonary rehabilitation to have higher cost-effectiveness than bronchodilator therapy [7].…”
