“…All PFTs were carried out in accordance with the 2019 American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) technical statement (8). The spirometry was performed in accordance with the prespecified national spirometry and laboratory standards and repeatability and precision criteria (9). The spirometer was calibrated on a regular basis.…”

Objective: This study aims to evaluate respiratory functions in patients Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) with and without pneumonia. Material and Methods: This single-center, prospective study included a total of 72 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection as confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR). The patients were divided into two groups according to the physical and thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings as mild symptomatic patients without COVID-19 pneumonia (n=26) and symptomatic cases with COVID-19 pneumonia (n=46). Respiratory functions were evaluated by spirometry in the second and fourth months of the disease onset. Results: The average age of 72 patients, 41 of whom were men, was 40.5±12.27 years. Thoracic CT revealed infiltrations compatible with COVID-19 pneumonia in 46 (63.9%) patients. Hypertension (12.5%) and diabetes (5.6%) were the most common comorbidities. When the results of the patients with and without pneumonia at the second and fourth months were compared, there was no significant difference between the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (p1=0,975, p2=0,291), forced vital capacity (FVC) (p1=0,668,p2=0,481) and FEV1/FVC ratio (FER) (p1=0,378, p2=0,980) values. When the repeated anova test was used in the comparison of the two visit differences between the groups, it was seen that there was no difference in any heading (FVC: p=0.077; FEV1: p=0.150; FER: p=0.355). Conclusions: Our study results show no significant difference in the pulmonary function tests of patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 pneumonia at two and four months, compared to those without pneumonia However, additional studies are needed for severe and critical cases.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program may lose their post-PR gains over time. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the gains after PR continued in the first month following PR. Methods: Patients with COPD who completed the PR program were evaluated retrospectively. The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) was used to measure the exercise capacity. In PR, patients were trained in strengthening exercises, cycling, walking band, and respiratory exercises in the presence of physiotherapist 2 days a week for a total of 8 weeks. After PR, patients were asked to record their exercise status each day into an exercise log. Results: A total of 35 patients with COPD (mean age 64±8 years) participated in the study. There was a significant increase in the exercise capacity at the ISWT before and after PR (0.001) and the first month after the PR (p=0.001). In the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, a significant improvement was observed before and after PR and at the first-month follow-up (p<0.05). Conclusion: An increased exercise capacity and the quality of life provided by PR in COPD patients continue in the early post-PR period, when patients continue to exert with behavioral changes in their daily lives.
