The BODE index as a tool to predict survival in COPD lung transplant candidates.
SIGNIFICANT This has been with us for decades. It is sometimes accompanied by statistical probability values in parentheses. It literally means ‘‘full of meaning or import’’ [1]. Used alone it means the authors are stressing, but not justifying, the scientific importance of their results. Even if significant, the results are often unimportant, uninteresting and unconvincing. Unfortunately the w...
متن کاملAdrenomedullin refines mortality prediction by the BODE index in COPD: the "BODE-A" index.
The BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity) index is well-validated for mortality prediction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Concentrations of plasma pro-adrenomedullin, a surrogate for mature adrenomedullin, independently predicted 2-year mortality among inpatients with COPD exacerbation. We compared accuracy of initial pro-adrenomedullin level...
متن کاملThe modified BODE index: validation with mortality in COPD.
Peak oxygen uptake (V'(O(2))) remains the gold standard measurement of exercise capacity and has been associated with survival. A modified BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity) index replacing the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) with V'(O(2)) as % predicted (mBODE%) has been developed and found to have excellent correlation with the conventional BODE index. The obj...
متن کاملCOPD heterogeneity: Gender differences in the multidimensional BODE index
BACKGROUND The BODE index was recently validated as a multidimensional tool for the evaluation of patients with COPD. The influence of gender on the BODE index has not been studied. HYPOTHESIS The contribution of each component of the disease to the BODE index may differ according to gender. METHODS We evaluated age, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), Modified Medical Research C...
متن کاملPulmonary rehabilitation and the BODE index in COPD.
The BODE index, which integrates body mass index, airflow limitation (forced expiratory volume in one second), dyspnoea and 6-min walk distance, predicts mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves some components of BODE. It was hypothesised that changes in BODE may reflect the effects of PR. To test this, participation in PR was offered to...
