چکیده

In an observational study, COTE and CELLI [1] showed that the response to outpatient PR can be objectively measured using the BI, whose change provides information regarding ultimate survival, and that participation in a PR is associated with a decrease in the number of hospitalisations. This multidimensional 10-point scale has been previously shown to predict the death risk in COPD patients [2].

Pulmonary 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...

The relationship between exercise capacity and different functional markers in pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD

Rationale The relationship of functional parameters such as lung mechanics, chest kinematics, metabolism and peripheral and respiratory muscle function with the level of exercise tolerance remains a controversial subject. While it has been previously shown that pulmonary rehabilitation is capable of improving exercise tolerance in patients afflicted by COPD, as expressed by values of 6-minute w...
