[PMID: 36397066 PMCID: PMC9670448 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-022-03789-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Traditional Chinese exercise as a new pulmonary rehabilitation technique has been increasingly used and achieved good results in pulmonary rehabilitation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of Liuzijue on exercise tolerance, lung function, and quality of life in patients with COPD. Methods This study is a multicenter, non-randomized, prospective study. Patients will be divided into a control group (CG) and a Liuzijue group (LG) based on their willingness to learn Liuzijue. None of the outcome assessors will know the grouping of patients. Participants in this study will be collected from stable COPD patients who are outpatients or inpatients in 3 centers in China since September 2021. Patients will meet the diagnostic criteria for GOLD stage I-II COPD (FEV1% ≥ 0.5 and FEV1/FVC < 0.7) and be aged 40 years or older. Patients voluntarily will take part in the clinical study and sign an informed consent form. All participants will follow their existing medication. For LG patients, Liuzijue training has been added. Patients will practice Liuzijue for more than 30 minutes a day, more than 5 days a week, and adhere to the training for 3 months. Outcome indicators are 6-minute walk test (6MWT), lung function (FEV1%, FEV1/FVC, MMEF, PEF), modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) score, COPD assessment test score (CAT), acute exacerbations and changes in drug treatment. Discussion This study quantified the effect of Liuzijue on the pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD patients in the stable phase of the disease, and provided a basis for the use of Liuzijue in COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improvements in pulmonary function following lung transplantation (LTx), physical activity levels remain significantly lower than the general population. To date, there is little research investigating interventions to improve daily physical activity in LTx recipients. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, 12-weeks physical activity tele-coaching (TC) intervention in LTx recipients. METHODS Lung transplant recipients within 2 months of hospital discharge were recruited and randomised (1:1) to TC or usual care (UC). TC consists of a pedometer and smartphone app, allowing transmission of activity data to a platform that provides feedback, activity goals, education, and contact with the researcher as required. Recruitment and retention, occurrence of adverse events, intervention acceptability and usage were used to assess feasibility. RESULTS Key criteria for progressing to a larger study were met. Of the 15 patients eligible, 14 were recruited and randomised to TC or UC and 12 completed (67% male; mean ± SD age; 58 ± 7 years; COPD n = 4, ILD n = 6, CF n = 1, PH n = 1): TC (n = 7) and UC (n = 5). TC was well accepted by patients, with 86% indicating that they enjoyed taking part. Usage of the pedometer was excellent, with all patients wearing it for over 90% of days and rating the pedometer and telephone contact as the most vital aspects. There were no adverse events related to the intervention. After 12 weeks, only TC displayed improvements in accelerometry steps/day (by 3475 ± 3422; p = .036) and movement intensity (by 153 ± 166 VMU; p = .019), whereas both TC and UC groups exhibited clinically important changes in physical SF-36 scores (by 11 ± 14 and 7 ± 9 points, respectively). CONCLUSION TC appears to be a feasible, safe, and well-accepted intervention in LTx.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the attitude of healthcare providers (HCPs) towards the delivering of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and identify factors and barriers that might influence referral. DESIGN A cross-sectional online survey consisting of nine multiple-choice questions. SETTINGS Saudi Arabia. PARTICIPANTS 980 HCPs including nurses, respiratory therapists (RT) and physiotherapists. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES HCPs attitudes towards and expectations of the delivery of PR to COPD patients and the identification of factors and barriers that might influence referral in Saudi Arabia. RESULTS Overall, 980 HCPs, 53.1% of whom were men, completed the survey. Nurses accounted for 40.1% of the total sample size, and RTs and physiotherapists accounted for 32.1% and 16.5%, respectively. The majority of HCPs strongly agreed that PR would improve exercise capacity 589 (60.1%), health-related quality of life 571 (58.3%), and disease self-management in patients with COPD 589 (60.1%). Moreover, the in-hospital supervised PR programme was the preferred method of delivering PR, according to 374 (38.16%) HCPs. Around 85% of HCPs perceived information about COPD, followed by smoking cessation 787 (80.3%) as essential components of PR besides the exercise component. The most common patient-related factor that strongly influenced referral decisions was 'mobility affected by breathlessness' (64%), while the 'availability of PR centres' (61%), the 'lack of trained HCPs' (52%) and the 'lack of authority to refer patients' (44%) were the most common barriers to referral. CONCLUSION PR is perceived as an effective management strategy for patients with COPD. A supervised hospital-based programme is the preferred method of delivering PR, with information about COPD and smoking cessation considered essential components of PR besides the exercise component. A lack of PR centres, well-trained staff and the authority to refer patients were major barriers to referring patients with COPD. Further research is needed to confirm HCP perceptions of patient-related barriers.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an increasingly frequent disorder that is likely to become the third leading cause of morbidity worldwide. It significantly degrades the quality of life of patients affected and poses a significant financial burden to the healthcare systems providing treatment and rehabilitation. Consequently, our study’s purpose was to compare conventional inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) with virtual (online) PR using a mobile phone application. During a three-month period, two groups of patients followed the research protocol by participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program administered and supervised by a physical therapist five times per week. A number of respiratory variables were examined before and after the test. At the end of the study period, a total of 72 patients completed the rehabilitation in the inpatient group, respectively 58 in the online group. It was observed that post-test comparison between patients undergoing the traditional and online rehabilitation methods did not show any significant differences. However, the calculated mean differences between pre-test and post-test results were significantly higher in favor of the virtual method. The most significant variations were encountered in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) (6.6% vs. 8.5%, p-value < 0.001), 6-min walking test (6MWT) (6.7% vs. 9.4%, p-value < 0.001), and COPD assessment test (CAT) values (4.8 vs. 6.2, p-value < 0.001), respectively. However, the maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) variation was significantly higher in patients undergoing the traditional rehabilitation method, from an average of 4.1% to 3.2% (p-value < 0.001). In this preliminary study, the online pulmonary rehabilitation program proved non-inferiority to the traditional method, with significantly better results in several measurements. Additional studies using larger cohorts of patients and longer exposure to the online rehabilitation program are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
In South Korea, there are few studies to understand the current status of pulmonary rehabilitation in clinical practice and develop it. This study aimed to assess the current status and annual changes in the number and pattern of prescriptions for pulmonary rehabilitation before and after its insurance coverage. The trends of pulmonary rehabilitation before and after its insurance coverage commencement were evaluated using the data of 24,380 patients during the 3-year period from 2016 to 2018 that were archived by the National Health Information Database of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in South Korea. The annual total number of patients who received pulmonary rehabilitation was stratified by the type of prescription, sex, age, type of insurance, medical institution, and region. In addition, the frequencies of pulmonary rehabilitation for various diagnoses were investigated using the major codes of the Korean Standard Classification of Disease. The patients who received pulmonary rehabilitation increased by approximately 2 times from 5936 in 2016 (before insurance coverage) to 10,474 in 2019. Before 2017, most patients underwent simple pulmonary rehabilitation coded as MM290. However, since the insurance coverage of rehabilitation exercise for pulmonary disease (MM440), the proportions of patients receiving them increased. Men underwent pulmonary rehabilitation more often than women, and >70% of the patients were aged >60 years. Most patients received pulmonary rehabilitation at tertiary hospitals in Seoul. In 2016, pulmonary rehabilitation was prescribed more frequently for cerebral infarction; after 2017, it was prescribed more frequently for lung cancer. This study summarized the current status and trends of pulmonary rehabilitation in South Korea before and after National Health Insurance Service coverage, which commenced on January 1, 2017. A significant increase in the number of pulmonary rehabilitations was confirmed after the insurance coverage.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent condition affecting a growing number of patients affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with crucial implications for risk of fragility fractures, hospitalization, and mortality. Several risk factors have been identified to have a role in osteoporosis development in COPD patients, including corticosteroid therapy, systemic inflammation, smoke, physical activity levels, malnutrition, and sarcopenia. In this scenario, a personalized multitarget intervention focusing on the pathological mechanisms underpinning osteoporosis is mandatory to improve bone health in these frail patients. Specifically, physical exercise, nutritional approach, dietary supplements, and smoke cessation are the cornerstone of the lifestyle approach to osteoporosis in COPD patients, improving not only bone health but also physical performance and balance. On the other hand, pharmacological treatment should be considered for both the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in patients at higher risk of fragility fractures. Despite these considerations, several barriers still affect the integration of a personalized approach to managing osteoporosis in COPD patients. However, digital innovation solutions and telemedicine might have a role in optimizing sustainable networking between hospital assistance and community settings to improve bone health and reduce sanitary costs of the long-term management of COPD patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite proven effectiveness for people with chronic respiratory diseases, practical barriers to attending centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation (centre-PR) limit accessibility. We aimed to review the clinical effectiveness, components and completion rates of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (home-PR) compared to centre-PR or usual care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Using Cochrane methodology, we searched (January 1990 to August 2021) six electronic databases using a PICOS (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study type) search strategy, assessed Cochrane risk of bias, performed meta-analysis and narrative synthesis to answer our objectives and used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations framework to rate certainty of evidence. RESULTS We identified 16 studies (1800 COPD patients; 11 countries). The effects of home-PR on exercise capacity and/or health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were compared to either centre-PR (n=7) or usual care (n=8); one study used both comparators. Compared to usual care, home-PR significantly improved exercise capacity (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.88, 95% CI 0.32-1.44; p=0.002) and HRQoL (SMD -0.62, 95% CI -0.88--0.36; p<0.001). Compared to centre-PR, home-PR showed no significant difference in exercise capacity (SMD -0.10, 95% CI -0.25-0.05; p=0.21) or HRQoL (SMD 0.01, 95% CI -0.15-0.17; p=0.87). CONCLUSION Home-PR is as effective as centre-PR in improving functional exercise capacity and quality of life compared to usual care, and is an option to enable access to pulmonary rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility of delivering a culturally tailored pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programme and conducting a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT). DESIGN A two-arm, randomised feasibility trial with a mixed-methods process evaluation. SETTING Secondary care setting in Georgia, Europe. PARTICIPANTS People with symptomatic spirometry-confirmed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease recruited from primary and secondary care. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to a control group or intervention comprising 16 twice-weekly group PR sessions tailored to the Georgian setting. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Feasibility of the intervention and RCT were assessed according to: study recruitment, consent and follow-up, intervention fidelity, adherence and acceptability, using questionnaires and measurements at baseline, programme end and 6 months, and through qualitative interviews. RESULTS The study recruited 60 participants (as planned): 54 (90%) were male, 10 (17%) had a forced expiratory volume in 1 second of ≤50% predicted. The mean MRC Dyspnoea Score was 3.3 (SD 0.5), and mean St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) 50.9 (SD 17.6). The rehabilitation specialists delivered the PR with fidelity. Thirteen (43.0%) participants attended at least 75% of the 16 planned sessions. Participants and rehabilitation specialists in the qualitative interviews reported that the programme was acceptable, but dropout rates were high in participants who lived outside Tbilisi and had to travel large distances. Outcome data were collected on 63.3% participants at 8 weeks and 88.0% participants at 6 months. Mean change in SGRQ total was -24.9 (95% CI -40.3 to -9.6) at programme end and -4.4 (95% CI -12.3 to 3.4) at 6 months follow-up for the intervention group and -0.5 (95% CI -8.1 to 7.0) and -8.1 (95% CI -16.5 to 0.3) for the usual care group at programme end and 6 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS It was feasible to deliver the tailored PR intervention. Approaches to improve uptake and adherence warrant further research. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN16184185.

Home-Based Respiratory Care for COPD Patients. SINUSITIS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/sinusitis6020007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite significant advances in pharmacological treatment over the last few decades, COPD remains a heavy burden on the health systems around the world, affecting approximately 210 million people, with elevated morbimortality and socioeconomic impact. Barriers to healthcare access were even more evident during the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic and increased patients’ vulnerability to physical deconditioning, depression, and social isolation. Home-based respiratory care in patients with COPD provides a valuable contribution to effective disease management, with potential advantages for monitoring, treatment adherence, and cost reduction. Technological innovation allows clinical markers of interest, such as respiratory frequency, pulmonary function, and oxygen saturation, to be tracked remotely from the patients’ homes, providing a better understanding of their real needs. Home-based telerehabilitation can also be a viable alternative to hospital-based programs. Here, we highlight the full extent of health benefits of HRC in COPD, particularly for patients with a higher risk of exacerbations, multiple comorbidities, and limited access to health services.

Network Pharmacology and Experimental Verification Revealed the Mechanism of Yiqi Jianpi Recipe on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:8823231. [PMID: 36118092 PMCID: PMC9473879 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8823231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Objective The study aimed to explore the active ingredients, targets, and mechanism of action of Yiqi Jianpi recipe (YQJPR) in the treatment of COPD based on the network pharmacology and COPD rat models. Methods The active ingredients and targets of YQJPR were collected by TCMSP. Disease-related protein targets were obtained from GeneCards. The Venn diagram was used to show the key therapeutic targets of COPD in YQJPR. The PPI network was established by STRING, and cytoHubba plug-in was used to screen the core targets within the network. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed to describe the functions and pathways of the core targets. Cytoscape software was used to construct the ingredient-target network and the core target-enrichment pathway network. The chemical constituents of YQJPR were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. Results The network pharmacology showed 152 active ingredients and 225 targets in YQJPR for the treatment of COPD. The key active ingredients were quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, tanshinone IIA, and baicalein. The contents of quercetin and luteolin in YQJPR were quantitatively measured by HPLC-MS/MS. 22 core genes were screened, including AKT1, IL-6, JUN, VEGFA, and CASP3, which were mainly involved in BPs such as cell proliferation and differentiation, oxidative/chemical stress, and regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity and regulated viral infection, tumor, HIF-1, MAPK, TNF, and IL-17 pathways. Animal experiments showed that YQJPR could significantly reduce the expression of p-ERK1/2, p-Akt, c-Myc, cleaved caspase-3, and p-Stat3 in lung tissue (p < 0.05). HE staining showed that, compared with the model group, YQJPR significantly improved lung tissue morphology and reduced lung inflammation in rats. Conclusion The effects of YQJPR on COPD may involve multiple components, pathways, and targets. This study provides new ideas for further and more comprehensive exploration of the therapeutic effect of YQJPR on COPD in the future.

Effect of telemonitoring and telerehabilitation on physical activity, exercise capacity, health-related quality of life and healthcare use in patients with chronic lung diseases or COVID-19: A scoping review. J Telemed Telecare 2022:1357633X221122124. [PMID: 36045633 PMCID: PMC9434200 DOI: 10.1177/1357633x221122124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Telemonitoring and telerehabilitation can support home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and benefit patients with lung diseases or COVID-19. This study aimed to (1) identify which telemonitoring and telerehabilitation interventions (e.g. videoconferencing) are used to provide telehealth care for people with chronic respiratory conditions or COVID-19, and (2) provide an overview of the effects of telemonitoring and telerehabilitation on exercise capacity, physical activity, health-related QoL (HRQoL), and healthcare use in patients with lung diseases or COVID-19. METHODS A search was performed in the electronic databases of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cinahl through 15 June 2021. Subject heading and keywords were used to reflect the concepts of telemonitoring, telerehabilitation, chronic lung diseases, and COVID-19. Studies that explored the effect of a telerehabilitation and/or telemonitoring intervention, in patients with a chronic lung disease such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), or COVID-19, and reported the effect of the intervention in one or more of our outcomes of interest were included. Excluding criteria included evaluation of new technological components, teleconsultation or one-time patient assessment. RESULTS This scoping review included 44 publications reporting the effect of telemonitoring (25 studies), telerehabilitation (8 studies) or both (11 studies) on patients with COPD (35 studies), asthma (5 studies), COPD and asthma (1 study), and COVID-19 (2 studies). Patients who received telemonitoring and/or telerehabilitation had improvements in exercise capacity in 9 out of 11 (82%) articles, better HRQoL in 21 out of 25 (84%), and fewer health care use in 3 out of 3 (100%) articles compared to pre-intervention. Compared to controls, no statistically significant differences were found in the intervention groups' exercise capacity in 5 out 6 (83%) articles, physical activity in 3 out of 3 (100%) articles, HRQoL in 21 out of 25 (84%) articles, and healthcare use in 15 out of 20 (75%) articles. The main limitation of the study was the high variability between the characteristics of the studies, such as the number and age of the patients, the outcome measures, the duration of the intervention, the technological components involved, and the additional elements included in the interventions that may influence the generalization of the results. CONCLUSION Telemonitoring and telerehabilitation interventions had a positive effect on patient outcomes and appeared to be as effective as standard care. Therefore, they are promising alternatives to support remote home-based rehabilitation in patients with chronic lung diseases or COVID-19.

Inspiratory Muscle Rehabilitation Training in Pediatrics: What Is the Evidence? Can Respir J 2022; 2022:5680311. [PMID: 36033343 PMCID: PMC9410970 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5680311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation is typically used for reducing respiratory symptoms and improving fitness and quality of life for patients with chronic lung disease. However, it is rarely prescribed and may be underused in pediatric conditions. Pulmonary rehabilitation can include inspiratory muscle training that improves the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize the current literature related to inspiratory muscle rehabilitation training (IMRT) in healthy and diseased pediatric populations. This review highlights the different methods of IMRT and their effects on respiratory musculature in children. Available literature demonstrates that IMRT can improve respiratory muscle strength and endurance, perceived dyspnea and exertion, maximum voluntary ventilation, and exercise performance in the pediatric population. These mechanistic changes help explain improvements in symptomology and clinical outcomes with IMRT and highlight our evolving understanding of the role of IMRT in pediatric patients. There remains considerable heterogeneity in the literature related to the type of training utilized, training protocols, duration of the training, use of control versus placebo, and reported outcome measures. There is a need to test and refine different IMRT protocols, conduct larger randomized controlled trials, and include patient-centered clinical outcomes to help improve the evidence base and support the use of IMRT in patient care.

[PMID: 35999942 PMCID: PMC9393021 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s368336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective intervention for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People with COPD undertake repeat programs, but synthesis of evidence regarding such practice has not been undertaken. The aim of this systematic review was to establish the effects of repeating pulmonary rehabilitation subsequent to an initial program in people with COPD. Methods Studies where participants with COPD undertook >1 pulmonary rehabilitation program were included, incorporating RCT (randomized controlled trial) and non-randomized studies. Electronic database searches were undertaken. Two authors independently undertook study identification, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life (HRQoL); secondary outcomes were exercise capacity, hospitalizations and exacerbations, adherence, mortality and adverse events. Narrative synthesis was undertaken for clinically heterogeneous trials. Data from RCTs and non-randomized studies were not combined for analysis. Results Ten included studies (2 RCTs) involved 907 participants with COPD (n=653 had undertaken >1 program). The majority of studies were at high risk of bias. One RCT (n=33) reported no difference in HRQol after a repeat program vs usual care following exacerbation (Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire dyspnea domain score MD 0.4, 95% CI -0.5 to 3). In stable patients, clinically important and statistically significant improvements in HRQoL and exercise capacity were reported after repeat programs, but of a smaller magnitude than initial programs. There was evidence for reductions in exacerbations and hospitalizations, and shorter hospital length of stay for patients who repeated a program twice in 12 months compared to those who repeated once. No data for mortality or adverse events were available. Conclusion This systematic review provides limited evidence for benefits of repeating pulmonary rehabilitation in people with COPD, including improved HRQoL and exercise capacity, and reduced hospitalizations. However, most studies have high risk of bias, which reduces the certainty of these conclusions. Study Registration PROSPERO (CRD42020215093).

Abstract
Background Reduced physical activity (PA) was the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This scoping review aimed to map the evidence on the current landscape of physical activity, barriers and facilitators, and assessment tools across COPD patients. Methods Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodology framework guided the conduct of this review. An electronic search was conducted on five English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, CQVIP and WAN-FANG) in January 2022. Two authors independently screened the literature, extracted the studies characteristics. Results The initial search yielded 4389 results, of which 1954 were duplicates. Of the remaining 135 articles, 42 studies met the inclusion criteria. Among the reviewed articles, there were 14 (33.3%) cross-sectional study, 9 (21.4%) cohort study, 4 (9.5%) longitudinal study, 3 qualitative study, 12 (28.7%) randomized control trials. The main barriers identified were older age, women, lung function, comorbidities, COPD symptoms (fear of breathlessness and injury, severe fatigue, anxiety and depression), GOLD stage, frequency of exacerbation, oxygen use, lack of motivation and environment-related (e.g., season and weather). Twelve studies have evaluated the effects of physical exercise (e.g., walking training, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), pedometer, self-efficacy enhancing intervention and behavioral modification intervention) on PA and showed significant positive effects on the prognosis of patients. However, in real life it is difficult to maintain PA in people with COPD. Conclusions Changing PA behavior in patients with COPD requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Future studies need to identify the best instruments to measure physical activity in clinical practice. Future studies should focus on the effects of different types, time and intensity of PA in people with COPD and conduct randomized, adequately-powered, controlled trials to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of behavioral change interventions in PA.

Closing the Gap between Inpatient and Outpatient Settings: Integrating Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Technological Advances in the Comprehensive Management of Frail Patients. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19159150. [PMID: 35954506 PMCID: PMC9368185 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19159150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a well-established intervention supported by strong evidence that is used to treat patients affected by chronic respiratory diseases. However, several barriers still affect its spreading in rehabilitation clinical practices. Although chronic respiratory diseases are common age-related disorders, there is still a gap of knowledge regarding the implementation of sustainable strategies integrating PR in the rehabilitation management of frail patients at high risk of respiratory complications. Therefore, in the present study, we characterized the effects of PR in frail patients, highlighting the evidence supporting its role in improving the complex rehabilitative management of these patients. Moreover, we propose a novel organizational model promoting PR programs for frail patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Our model emphasizes the role of interdisciplinary care, specifically tailored to patients and environmental characteristics. In this scenario, cutting-edge technology and telemedicine solutions might be implemented as safe and sustainable strategies filling the gap between inpatient and outpatient settings. Future research should focus on large-scale sustainable interventions to improve the quality of life and global health of frail patients. Moreover, evidence-based therapeutic paths should be promoted and taught in training courses promoting multiprofessional PR knowledge to increase awareness and better address its delivery in frail patients.

Respir Med 2022; 201:106936. [PMID: 35878502 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2022.106936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is high heterogeneity of outcomes and measures reported in the literature for pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), which might limit benchmarking and an effective evidence synthesis. A core outcome set (COS) can minimise this problem. It is however unclear which outcomes and measures are most important and suitable for different stakeholders. METHODS A multicentre qualitative study with one-to-one semi-structured interviews with people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), healthcare professionals (HCPs), researchers and policy makers was conducted. Manifest content analysis was conducted to explore the frequency of outcomes viewed as crucial or not. Thematic analysis was performed to better understand stakeholders' views. RESULTS 37 participants (17 people with COPD and 20 HCPs/researchers/policy makers) from 14 countries and 4 continents were included. Participants expressed that i) core outcomes need to be meaningful to people with COPD and show PR benefits; ii) there should be comprehensive assessment and similar outcomes across settings; iii) a balance between optimal and practical measures is needed; iv) the COS is needed to benchmark PR and advance knowledge; and v) reluctance to change outcomes/measures used by HCPs and using the COS as a maximum set of outcomes might be the pitfalls. 28 outcomes were identified as crucial, and 12 as not crucial. CONCLUSIONS This study provided important insights into outcome measurement in PR from the perspectives of different key international stakeholders and a list of outcomes that will inform a future consensus study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to 1) understand factors impacting the implementation of exercise communication and referral, and 2) explore integrated clinical approaches to exercise communication and referral in cancer care. METHODS Seven focus groups (N = 53) were conducted with clinicians and exercise professionals throughout Sydney, Australia. A sub-sample of participants (n = 9) attended a half-day workshop to identifying best practice approaches for moving forward. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. RESULTS Two themes emerged: 1) Factors impacting the knowledge-to-action gap, inclusive of limited exercise specific knowledge and training opportunities, funding structure, and current referral process, and 2) Recommendations for a consistent and efficient way forward, detailing the need for oncologist-initiated communication, distribution of cancer-exercise resources, and access to exercise professionals with cancer expertise. CONCLUSIONS This study identified factors (e.g., cancer-exercise specific training, integration of exercise physiologists) influencing exercise counselling and referral. A potential implementation-referral approach accounting for these factors and how to incorporate exercise into a standard model of cancer care, is described. Future testing is required to determine feasibility and practicality of these approaches. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS A pragmatic model is provided to guide implementation-referral, inclusive of oncologist-initiated communication exchange, relevant resources, and access to exercise professionals with cancer expertise.

Abstract
Similarly to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other interstitial lung diseases can develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) characterized by declining lung function, a poor response to immunomodulatory therapies, and early mortality. The pathophysiology of disordered lung repair involves common downstream pathways that lead to pulmonary fibrosis in both IPF and PPF. The antifibrotic drugs, such as nintedanib, are indicated for the treatment of IPF and PPF, and new therapies are being evaluated in clinical trials. Clinical, radiographic, and molecular biomarkers are needed to identify patients with PPF and subgroups of patients likely to respond to specific therapies. This article reviews the evidence supporting the use of specific therapies in patients with IPF and PPF, discusses agents being considered in clinical trials, and considers potential biomarkers based on disease pathogenesis that might be used to provide a personalized approach to care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory rehabilitation (RR) is a global and interdisciplinary approach designed to improve quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In France, however it is prescribed in only 10 % of eligible cases. The aim of this study was to find out why general practitioners so seldom include RR in their patient care. METHODS Semi-structured and individual interviews were conducted between April and July 2018 with general practitioners working in the Upper-Rhine region (France). Verbatims were coded using inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS Fifteen interviews were conducted. Lack of expert knowledge, available time, and adequate means emerged as the main reasons for not including RR in patient care. General practitioners also described complicated emotional relationships with COPD patients, and admitted to an occasional sense of fatalism or powerlessness. At times they projected these feelings onto their patients, perceiving them as devoid of motivation or compliance. CONCLUSIONS Negative perceptions of patients and their disease represent an obstacle to optimal COPD management, especially when referring them to RR. Improved medical expertise and comprehension of patients' coping mechanisms would enable general practitioners to better adapt their management, of which motivational interviewing could become a key component.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and health-care use worldwide. COPD is caused by exposure to inhaled noxious particles, notably tobacco smoke and pollutants. However, the broad range of factors that increase the risk of development and progression of COPD throughout the life course are increasingly being recognised. Innovations in omics and imaging techniques have provided greater insight into disease pathobiology, which might result in advances in COPD prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Although few novel treatments have been approved for COPD in the past 5 years, advances have been made in targeting existing therapies to specific subpopulations using new biomarker-based strategies. Additionally, COVID-19 has undeniably affected individuals with COPD, who are not only at higher risk for severe disease manifestations than healthy individuals but also negatively affected by interruptions in health-care delivery and social isolation. This Seminar reviews COPD with an emphasis on recent advances in epidemiology, pathophysiology, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
Background and Objective A mounting body of evidence suggests that lung function may deteriorate over time with the development of chronic lung diseases (CRDs). Pulmonary rehabilitation has been proved to improve exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with CRDs. However, PR remains grossly underutilized all around the world. This study aimed to analyze the research trends on PR over the past 10 years. Methods The publications related to pulmonary rehabilitation in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 2011 to 2020 were searched. VOSviewer (1.6.15) and CiteSpace Software (5.5.R2) were used to analyze authors and co-cited authors, countries and institutions, journals and co-cited journals, co-cited references, and keywords. Results A total of 4,521 publications were retrieved between 2011 and 2020, and the number of annual publications on pulmonary rehabilitation has shown an overall upward trend in the past decade. The USA was the most productive country, the University of Toronto from Canada was both the first in publications and citations. Spruit MA was both the most productive author and the one with the highest number of co-citations. The first productive journal was the International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, while the first co-cited journal was the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The hot keywords were grouped into three clusters, while “Asthma” and “Respiratory society statement” were determined as the frontier topics. Conclusions The present study successfully revealed the research status and development trends of pulmonary rehabilitation from 2011 to 2020 by using bibliometric analysis, which may help researchers explore and discover new research directions in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation is increasing. Weaning units (WU) in the German network "WeanNet" are specialized in the treatment of patients needing prolonged weaning. In this study we present outcome data on the patients in our WU from 2011 to 2015. METHODS A distinction is made between the 4 outcome groups: 1. Successful weaning without mechanical ventilation, 2. Successful weaning with non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), 3. Weaning failure with subsequent invasive ventilation and 4. Death in the WU. RESULTS In 272 patients, the following distribution within the 4 outcome groups was found: Group 1: 116 patients (42.6 %), Group 2: 52 patients (19.1 %), Group 3: 45 patients (16.5 %) and Group 4: 59 patients (21.7 %).The duration of treatment in the WU depended primarily on co-morbidities and the hemoglobin level.Despite successful weaning, the tracheostoma was completely closed in only 60.3 % of patients with continuous spontaneous breathing and 67.3 % of patients with NIV at the time of discharge from the clinic.After discharge from the WU, patients with weaning failure and subsequent invasive long-term ventilation, in contrast to patients with successful weaning, were rarely transferred to rehabilitation, but re-admitted more frequently to the clinic as emergency cases (29 %).The 1-year survival rate was 59 %. Half of the patients died in less than 2 years. CONCLUSION The majority of patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation are successfully weaned from the respirator in the WU. Nevertheless, the proportion of patients with weaning failure and subsequent invasive long-term out-of-hospital ventilation as well as the mortality rate in the WU and after discharge were high. The ethical implications of these observations are discussed in the paper.

Abstract
Purpose: This study examined the effectiveness and safety of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HBPR) program in Veterans. Methods: Patients were evaluated from five Veteran Affairs facilities that enrolled in the 12-week program. Pre- to postchanges were completed on clinical outcomes using paired t-tests and the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Descriptive statistics were used for patient demographics, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. Results: Two hundred eighty-five patients with a mean age of 69.6 ± 8.3 years enrolled in the HBPR program from October 2018 to March 2020. There was a 62% (n = 176) completion rate of both pre- and post assessments. Significant improvements were detected after completion of the HBPR program in dyspnea (modified Medical Research Council: 3.1 ± 1.1 vs. 1.9 ± 1.1; p < 0.0001); exercise capacity (six-minute walk distance: 263.1 m ± 96.6 m vs. 311.0 m ± 103.6 m; p < 0.0001; Duke Activity Status Index: 13.8 ± 9.6 vs. 20.0 ± 12.7; p < 0.0001; self-reported steps per day: 1514.5 ± 1360.4 vs. 3033.8 ± 2716.2; p < 0.0001); depression (patient health questionnaire-9: 8.3 ± 5.7 vs. 6.4 ± 5.1); nutrition habits (rate your plate, heart: 45.3 ± 9.0 vs. 48.9 ± 9.2; p < 0.0001); multicomponent assessment tools (BODE Index: 5.1 ± 2.5 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4; p < 0.0001), GOLD ABCD Assessment: p < 0.0009); and quality of life (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test: 25.4 ± 7.7 vs. 18.7 ± 8.5; p < 0.0001). No adverse events were reported due to participation in HBPR. Conclusions: The HBPR program is a safe and effective model and provides an additional option to address the gap in pulmonary rehabilitation access and utilization in the Veterans Affairs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Singing for Lung Health (SLH) was non-inferior to physical exercise training in improving 6-minute walking test distance (6MWD) and quality of life (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)) within a 10-week pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programme for COPD in our recent randomised controlled trial (RCT) (NCT03280355). Previous studies suggest that singing improves lung function, respiratory control and dyspnoea, however this has not yet been convincingly confirmed. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of SLH on physiological parameters and the associations with achieving the minimal important difference (MID) in 6MWD and/or SGRQ. METHODS We conducted post hoc, per-protocol analyses mainly of the SLH group of the RCT, exploring associations with 6MWD and SGRQ results by stratifying into achieving versus not-achieving 6MWD-MID (≥30 m) and SGRQ-MID (≤-4 points): changes in lung function, inspiratory muscle strength/control, dyspnoea, and heart rate response using logistic regression models. Further, we explored correlation and association in achieving both 6MWD-MID and SGRQ-MID (or in neither/nor) using Cohen's κ and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Test. RESULTS In the SLH study group (n=108), 6MWD-MID was achieved by 31/108 (29%) and in SGRQ by 53/108 (49%). Baseline factors associated with achieving MID in either outcome included short baseline 6MWD and high body mass index. Achieving 6MWD-MID was correlated with improved heart rate response (OR: 3.14; p=0.03) and achieving SGRQ-MID was correlated with improved maximal inspiratory pressure (OR: 4.35; p=0.04). Neither outcome was correlated with significant spirometric changes. Agreement in achieving both 6MWD-MID and SGRQ-MID was surprisingly insignificant. CONCLUSIONS This explorative post hoc study suggests that SLH is associated with physiological changes after short-term PR for COPD. Future physiological studies will help us to understand the mechanisms of singing in COPD. Our study furthermore raises concern about poor agreement between subjective and objective benefits of PR despite state-of-the-art tools.

Abstract
BackgroundThe emergence of innovative technology-enabled models of care is an opportunity to support more efficient ways of organizing and delivering healthcare services and improve the patient experience. Pulmonary telerehabilitation started as a promising area of research and became a strategic pandemic response to patients' decreased accessibility to rehabilitation care. Still, in the pre-COVID-19 era, we conducted a participatory study aiming to develop strategies for setting up pulmonary telerehabilitation as a person-centered digitally-enabled model of care.MethodsWe performed operational participatory research between June 2019 and March 2020 with the engagement of all stakeholders involved in the implementation of pulmonary telerehabilitation, including 14 people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Patients were assessed subjectively and objectively pre and post a 3-month pulmonary rehabilitation program including exercise and education, which started in a face-to-face hospital setting during the first month and continued as a home-based, remotely supervised exercise training intervention.ResultsFive major groups of requirements targeted operational strategies for setting up pulmonary telerehabilitation: (1) pulmonary rehabilitation core principles, (2) quality and security standards, (3) technological functionality, (4) home environment appropriateness, and (5) telesetting skills. There was a statistical significance in the median change in the CAT score from 15.5 to 10.5 (p = 0.004) and in the PRAISE score from 49.5 to 53.0 (p = 0.006). Patients' mean levels of satisfaction regarding rehabilitation goals achievements were 88.1 ± 8.6% and the mean levels of satisfaction regarding the telerehabilitation experienced as a model of care were 95.4% ± 6.3%.ConclusionsThe success of telerehabilitation implementation was grounded on stakeholder engagement and targeted strategies for specific setup requirements, achieving patients' high satisfaction levels. Such operational experiences should be integrated into the redesigning of upgraded telerehabilitation programs as part of the solution to improve the effectiveness, accessibility, and resilience of health systems worldwide.

Abstract
Background Although the benefits of conventional pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) maintenance are well documented, it is challenged by many difficulties. We investigated whether remote home-based PR maintenance strategy via social media (WeChat) is effective on clinical improvements and reducing the risk for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The eligible stable COPD patients completing an initial 8-week PR were allocated into three groups randomly. Group A: PR maintenance via social media supervision at home. Group B: PR maintenance at hospital. Group C: Usual care. During a 12-month follow-up, the frequency of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), 6 minutes walking test (6MWT), COPD assessment test (CAT), and modified Medical Research Council scale (mMRC) were evaluated every 3 months. Results At the end of the follow-up, compared to the decline in the usual care group (n = 49), the clinical improvements of 6MWD, CAT, and mMRC were sustained in both the home-based group (n = 47) and the hospital-based maintenance group (n = 44) (p < 0.001), no difference was observed between these two groups (p > 0.05). In multivariate analysis, the home-based PR maintenance and hospital-based PR maintenance were independent predictors of lower risk for AECOPD (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.712, 95% CI 0.595–0.841, p < 0.001 and IRR 0.799, 95% CI 0.683–0.927, p = 0.002), respectively. Conclusion Remote PR maintenance via social media is effective in reducing the risk for AECOPD and keeping the clinical improvement from decline. Remote PR maintenance via social media might be used to deliver alternatives to conventional PR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation for exercise tolerance and quality of life improvement in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Chongqing VIP for randomized controlled trials that compared pulmonary rehabilitation with usual care for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The risk of bias and certainty of evidence were assessed using Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria. RESULTS Eleven trials in total with 549 participants. Compared with usual care, pulmonary rehabilitation significantly increased 6-minute walking distance (mean difference: 35.2m, 95% confidence intervals: 25.4m-44.9m; ten trials; 447 participants; moderate), decreased the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire total scores (mean difference: -9.11, 95% confidence intervals: -10.78 to -7.43; six trials; 303 participants; moderate), and reduced the modified Medical Research Council scores were lower (mean difference: -0.76, 95% confidence intervals: -1.25 to -0.27; three trials; 196 participants; low). Improvements were noted in forced vital capacity percent-predicted (mean difference: 4.88, 95% confidence intervals: 2.67 to 7.10; four trials; 214 participants; moderate) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (mean difference: 4.71, 95% confidence intervals: 0.96 to 8.46; six trials; 358 participants; low). CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary rehabilitation may significantly improve exercise tolerance and quality of life in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients, but the quality of evidence was low to moderate. Large sample, multicenter, randomized controlled trials are needed to verify the efficacy and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is compelling evidence that either centre-based or home-based pulmonary rehabilitation improves clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are known health service and personal barriers which prevent potentially eligible patients from accessing the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation. The aim of this hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial is to examine the effects of offering patients a choice of pulmonary rehabilitation locations (home or centre) compared with offering only the traditional centre-based model. METHOD AND ANALYSIS This is a two-arm cluster randomised, controlled, assessor-blinded trial of 14 centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation services allocated to intervention (offering choice of home-based or centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation) or control (continuing to offer centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation only), stratified by centre-based programme setting (hospital vs non-hospital). 490 participants with COPD will be recruited. Centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation will be delivered according to best practice guidelines including supervised exercise training for 8 weeks. At intervention sites, the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation will be delivered according to an established 8-week model, comprising of one home visit, unsupervised exercise training and telephone calls that build motivation for exercise participation and facilitate self-management. The primary outcome is all-cause, unplanned hospitalisations in the 12 months following rehabilitation. Secondary outcomes include programme completion rates and measurements of 6-minute walk distance, chronic respiratory questionnaire, EQ-5D-5L, dyspnoea-12, physical activity and sedentary time at the end of rehabilitation and 12 months following rehabilitation.Direct healthcare costs, indirect costs and changes in EQ-5D-5L will be used to evaluate cost-effectiveness. A process evaluation will be undertaken to understand how the choice model is implemented and explore sustainability beyond the clinical trial. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Alfred Hospital Ethics Committee has approved this protocol. The trial findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals, submitted for presentation at conferences and disseminated to patients across Australia with support from national lung charities and societies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04217330.

Abstract
Timed-Up and Go (TUG) and 5-Times Sit-to-Stand (5STS) are frequently used in clinical practice for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of the study was to investigate the intra- and inter-rater reproducibility of the TUG and 5STS as both face-to-face and tele-assessment tests in patients with COPD. Forty-four patients with diagnosed COPD were included. Evaluations were carried out face-to-face and tele-assessment (synchronized and asynchronized). Inter-reliability between face-to-face and tele-assessment was excellent for TUG (ICC = 0.977) and 5STS (ICC = 0.970). Inter-reliability between two tele-raters was also excellent for TUG (ICC = 0.995) with the SEM = 0.04, SEM95% = 0.08, and SDC95% = 0.10 s, and 5STS (ICC = 0.990) with the SEM = 0.06, SEM95% = 0.12, and SDC95% = 0.18 s. Intra-rater reliability of the tele-assessment (synchronized) was excellent for TUG (ICC = 0.976) and 5STS (ICC = 0.964). The SEM, SEM95%, and SDC95% values were computed as 0.08, 0.16, and 0.22 s for TUG, and 0.11, 0.22, and 0.31 s for 5STS, respectively. The TUG and 5STS tests are reproducible tele-assessment measures in patients with COPD with excellent intra- and inter-rater reproducibility. The authors recommend these tests as practical assessment tools in patients with COPD at home for tele-health interventions. The reported SEM, SEM95%, and SDC95% values can be used as a minimum change that needs to be observed to be confident that the observed change is real and not, potentially, a product of measurement error.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incremental step tests (IST) can be used to assess exercise capacity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The development of a new step test based on the characteristics of the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is an important study to explore. We aimed to develop a new IST based on the ISWT in people with COPD, and assess its validity (construct validity) and reliability, according to Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) recommendations. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in participants recruited from hospitals/clinics. During the recruitment, the participants who presented a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) report in the previous month were also identified and the respective data was collected. Subsequently, participants attended two sessions at their homes. IST was conducted on the first visit, along with the 1 min sit-to-stand (1MSTS) test. IST was repeated on a second visit, performed 5-7 days after the first one. Spearman's correlations were used for construct validity, by comparing the IST with the 6MWT and the 1MSTS. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1), SE of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change at 95% CI (MDC95) were used for reliability. The learning effect was explored with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS 50 participants (70.8±7.5 years) were enrolled. IST was significant and moderate correlated with the 6MWT (ρ=0.50, p=0.020), and with the 1MSTS (ρ=0.46, p=0.001). IST presented an ICC2,1=0.96, SEM=10.1 (16.6%) and MDC95=27.9 (45.8%) for the number of steps. There was a statistically significant difference between the two attempts of the IST (p=0.030). CONCLUSION Despite the significant and moderate correlations with the 6MWT and 1MSTS, the inability to full compliance with the COSMIN recommendations does not yet allow the IST to be considered valid in people with COPD. On the other hand, the IST is a reliable test based on its high ICC, but a learning effect and an 'indeterminate' measurement error were shown. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04715659.

Abstract
In addition to recommendations for pharmacological treatment stratified for risk and phenotype, the new 2021 edition of the Spanish COPD Guidelines (GesEPOC 2021) proposes a personalized approach to treatable traits, defined as a characteristic (clinical, physiological, or biological) that can be identified by diagnostic tests or biomarkers, for which a specific treatment is available. Some treatable traits, such as malnutrition, sedentarism, emphysema or respiratory failure, can be treated with non-pharmacological therapies, and this was not covered in detail in the guidelines. This section of GesEPOC 2021 includes a narrative update with recommendations on dietary treatment, physical activity, respiratory rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, volume reduction, and lung transplantation. A PICO question with recommendations on the use of supplemental oxygen during exercise in COPD patients without severe hypoxemia is also included.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cardiopulmonary and brain functions are frequently impaired after COVID-19 infection. Exercise rehabilitation could have a major impact on the healing process of patients affected by long COVID-19. (2) Methods: The COVID-Rehab study will investigate the effectiveness of an eight-week cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program on cardiorespiratory fitness (V˙O2max) in long-COVID-19 individuals. Secondary objectives will include functional capacity, quality of life, perceived stress, sleep quality (questionnaires), respiratory capacity (spirometry test), coagulation, inflammatory and oxidative-stress profile (blood draw), cognition (neuropsychological tests), neurovascular coupling and pulsatility (fNIRS). The COVID-Rehab project was a randomised clinical trial with two intervention arms (1:1 ratio) that will be blindly evaluated. It will recruit a total of 40 individuals: (1) rehabilitation: centre-based exercise-training program (eight weeks, three times per week); (2) control: individuals will have to maintain their daily habits. (3) Conclusions: Currently, there are no specific rehabilitation guidelines for long-COVID-19 patients, but preliminary studies show encouraging results. Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05035628).

Embedding Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the Home and Community Setting: A Rapid Review. FRONTIERS IN REHABILITATION SCIENCES 2022; 3:780736. [PMID: 36188941 PMCID: PMC9397727 DOI: 10.3389/fresc.2022.780736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This paper presents a rapid review of the literature for the components, benefits, barriers, and facilitators of pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) people in-home and community-based settings. seventy-six studies were included: 57 home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HBPR) studies and 19 community-based pulmonary rehabilitation (CBPR) studies. The benefits of HBPR on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life were observed in one-group studies, studies comparing HBPR to usual care, and studies comparing to hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation, although the benefits were less pronounced in the latter. HBPR reduced hospital admissions compared to usual care and was more cost-effective than hospital pulmonary rehabilitation. Most HBPRs were designed with low-density or customized equipment, are minimally supervised, and have a low intensity of training. Although the HBPR has flexibility and no travel burden, participants with severe disease, physical frailty, and complex comorbidities had barriers to complying with HBPR. The telerehabilitation program, a facilitator for HBPR, is feasible and safe. CBPR was offered in-person supervision, despite being limited to physical therapists in most studies. Benefits in exercise capacity were shown in almost all studies, but the improvement in health-related quality of life was controversial. Patients reported the benefits that facilities where they attended the CBPR including social support and the presence of an instructor. They also reported barriers, such as poor physical condition, transport difficulties, and family commitments. Despite the minimal infrastructure offered, HBPR and CBPR are feasible, safe, and provide clinical benefits to patients with COPD. Home and community settings are excellent opportunities to expand the offer of pulmonary rehabilitation programs, as long as they follow protocols that ensure quality and safety following current guidelines.

Abstract
Exercise capacity and physical activity are different concepts: the former refers to what an individual is capable of performing, while the latter refers to what the individual does in daily life. Low levels of physical activity (PA), which are very common in individuals with COPD, are associated with poor health outcomes, including increased symptoms, a more rapid decline in lung function, increased health care utilization and increased mortality risk. Because of these pervasive negative outcomes, attempts have been made to increase physical activity in individuals with COPD, hoping that success in this area will mitigate the negative effects of inactivity. Based on its ability to increase exercise capacity and reduce dyspnea in COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) would be expected also increase physical activity in these patients. However, accessibility to pulmonary rehabilitation programs is problematic in some areas, and studies testing its effectiveness in this outcome area have had inconsistent results. Using telehealth interventions using technology to provide medical care conveniently over a distance would have the benefit of reaching a larger proportion of individuals with COPD. A systematic review of clinical trials testing telehealth to promote physical activity had mixed results and low-certainty evidence, resulting in the inability to recommend any single type of intervention. Thus, using telehealth interventions to promote physical activity for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases, while promising, remains an area where future investigations are needed to identify its optimal modalities and clarify its benefits.

Comparison of the Impact of Conventional and Web-Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Physical Activity in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Exploratory Feasibility Study. JMIR Rehabil Assist Technol 2022; 9:e28875. [PMID: 35266871 PMCID: PMC8949713 DOI: 10.2196/28875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) increases exercise capacity, with less clear evidence regarding physical activity (PA). The World Health Organization recommends at least 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic PA per week to reduce the risks of chronic disease. Objective The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of conventional PR versus web-based PR with respect to changes in PA. Methods Patients with COPD were randomized to either conventional PR classes (n=51) or a web-based PR program (n=52) for 7 weeks in a feasibility study. Accelerometers (Sensewear) were worn before and after the intervention, and PA was measured as steps per day and mean bouts of moderate activity for ≥2, ≥5, ≥10, and ≥20 minutes. Measures were derived for patients with ≥8 hours of data per day for ≥4 days, using the R package for statistical analysis. Variables were explored to examine their relationships with bouts of activity. Results Baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between groups. Complete PA data were available for the groups receiving web-based (n=20) and conventional (n=34) PR interventions. The web-based PR group demonstrated a nonsignificant increase in the number of steps per day, which mainly comprised short bouts of moderate to vigorous intensity PA when compared to the conventional PR group (P=.20). The conventional PR group demonstrated increased 20-minute bouts of PA by 49.1%, although this was not significant (P=.07). At baseline, age (r=–0.21, P=.04), BMI (r=–0.311, P=.004), and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second; % predicted; r=–0.248, P=.048) were significantly correlated with 10-minute bouts of PA; however, this was not observed post intervention. Conclusions The analysis revealed a nonsignificant difference in the pattern of PA between groups receiving conventional vs web-based PR—the former being associated with an increase in 20-minute bouts, while the latter having demonstrated an increase in the number of steps per day. There appears to be a differing response emerging between the two interventions. Trial Registration International Clinical Trials Registry ISRCTN03142263; https://tinyurl.com/y4dmfyrb

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) have impaired exercise capacity, but the underlying factors are unknown. We investigated the characteristics of patients with NTM-PD and impaired exercise capacity. METHODS In total, 149 patients with NTM-PD participated in this study. Patients completed the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) to assess exercise capacity. Peripheral muscle strength and pulmonary function were also assessed. Radiological findings were classified into three phenotypes: non-cavitary nodular bronchiectatic (NC-NB) form, cavitary nodular bronchiectatic form, and fibrocavitary (FC) form. RESULTS The median ISWT distance (ISWD) and %ISWD were 450 meters and 88%. Participants were classified into three groups according to %ISWD, with %ISWD <60% as the severely decreased group, 60%-80% as the moderately decreased group, and >80% as the normal or mildly decreased group. In a comparison of %ISWD among phenotypes, FC form had significantly lower %ISWD than those with NC-NB form. In the severely decreased group, peripheral muscle strength and pulmonary function were significantly lower than the other two groups. From a radiological standpoint, significantly more patients had FC form in the group with severely decreased %ISWD. CONCLUSIONS Decreased ISWD is characterized by a deterioration in physical function and the presence of FC lesions in NTM-PD.

Cognitive Impairment in Convalescent COVID-19 Patients Undergoing Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation: The Association with the Clinical and Functional Status. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10030480.

Abstract
Background. Cognitive impairment has been reported in the aftermath of severe acute respiratory syndrome due to coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We investigated the possible association between cognitive impairment and the main clinical and functional status variables in a cohort of convalescent COVID-19 patients without premorbid diseases potentially affecting cognition. Methods. We consecutively screened for inclusion of convalescent COVID-19 patients referring to a post-acute care facility for pulmonary rehabilitation. All the enrolled patients were assessed for cognitive functions. We also investigated features of psychological distress (anxiety, depression, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and quality of life) and cardiac and pulmonary functional status. Results. The 63 enrolled patients (mean age 59.82 ± 10.78, male gender = 47) showed a high frequency of depressive symptoms (76.2%) and anxiety (55.5%), and a high prevalence of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 44.4%). About half of the total sample showed reduced cognitive efficiency (RCE, 44.4%) in the domains of spatial and verbal long-term memory and executive functions. Patients with RCE more frequently showed alteration of blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm (p = 0.01), higher levels of D-Dimer (p = 0.03), had experienced a severe illness (p = 0.02), had longer disease duration (p = 0.04), more clinically relevant symptoms of PTSD (p = 0.02), more frequent cognitive complaints (p = 0.002), higher anxiety scores (p = 0.01) and lower quality of life (p = 0.02) than patients with normal cognitive efficiency. Conclusions. Our findings indicated a possible association between the RCE after COVID-19 and some cardiological variables, including some indirect measures of a residual autonomic disorder, such as the presence of an altered BP circadian rhythm. Future research studies with large samples are needed to provide valid conclusions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Incremental shuttle walk tests (ISWTs) are routinely conducted as outcome measures in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) assessments and in clinical trials; however, there is a paucity of data describing the impact of simply conducting an exercise test and the change produced in the perceived ability of the individual to perform exercise subsequently, which may in turn influence therapy and study outcomes. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational cohort study at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, UK (University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust). At initial PR assessment, we asked patients pre- and post-practice ISWT to report confidence in three areas (walking at home [Q1], managing breathlessness [Q2], and performing an ISWT [Q3]) based on a visual analog scale (0-10). RESULTS A total of 100 patients with chronic respiratory disease (age 68.0 ± 10.3 yr, male 49%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 63%, Medical Research Council 2-5) completed visual analog scale confidence questions pre- and post-practice ISWT. Confidence in all questions improved after a practice ISWT (all P < .01 Wilcoxon signed rank). A statistically significant improvement in ISWT distance was noted (practice ISWT 207.3 ± 132.7 m to second ISWT 227.4 ± 142.0 m, mean difference = 20.1 m). No association was found between changes in confidence and changes between walk 1 and walk 2 (r2 = [Q1] -0.04, [Q2] -0.09, [Q3] 0.04, P >.05). CONCLUSIONS Confidence increased in all areas post-practice ISWT, but this was not related to changes in performance. However, this change may be an important consideration when designing research trials as exercise behaviors (eg, walking at home) may be affected by conducting baseline exercise tests.

Abstract
Background: After the acute disease, convalescent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may experience several persistent manifestations that require multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). By using a machine learning (ML) approach, we aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics predicting the effectiveness of PR, expressed by an improved performance at the 6-min walking test (6MWT). Methods: Convalescent COVID-19 patients referring to a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit were consecutively screened. The 6MWT performance was partitioned into three classes, corresponding to different degrees of improvement (low, medium, and high) following PR. A multiclass supervised classification learning was performed with random forest (RF), adaptive boosting (ADA-B), and gradient boosting (GB), as well as tree-based and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) as instance-based algorithms. Results: To train and validate our model, we included 189 convalescent COVID-19 patients (74.1% males, mean age 59.7 years). RF obtained the best results in terms of accuracy (83.7%), sensitivity (84.0%), and area under the ROC curve (94.5%), while ADA-B reached the highest specificity (92.7%). Conclusions: Our model enables a good performance in predicting the rehabilitation outcome in convalescent COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, Chinese and international studies have reported that traditional Chinese exercises (TCEs) have good therapeutic effects on pulmonary function, endurance capacity, and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, only a few studies have reported the differences in the efficacy of different TCEs in the treatment of COPD. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare the effects of five TCEs on patients with COPD, including Taijiquan (TJQ), Baduanjin (BDJ), Liuzijue (LZJ), Wuqinxi (WQX), and Yijinjing (YJJ). METHODS All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCEs for patients with COPD were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Excerpt Medica Database (EMBASE), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine database (CBM), China Scientific Journal Database (VIP), and Wanfang database. The search period was from the establishment of each database to August 16, 2021. The quality of the included studies was assessed according to the Cochrane handbook of systematic review, and the network meta-analysis was conducted with R 4.0.2 (Ross Ihaka, Auckland, New Zealand) and ADDIS 1.16.8 (Gert vsn Valkenhoef, Groningen, Netherlands). The effect size was evaluated using the mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS A total of 53 RCTs involving 3,924 patients were included. The network meta-analysis results showed that WQX was the most effective in improving FEV1/FVC% score and 6-MWT score. The difference was statistically significant (MD = 8.62, 95% CI 4.46 to 13.04, P < 0.05), (MD = 74.29, 95% CI 47.67 to 102.24, P < 0.05). However, YJJ was the most effective in reducing the CAT score, and the difference was statistically significant (MD = -8.38, 95% CI -13.24 to -3.28, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The existing evidence shows that WQX has advantages over other TCEs in improving pulmonary function and endurance capacity in patients with COPD, while YJJ has advantages in improving the quality of life. Although TCEs show no significant adverse effects, more large-scale, double-blind, and high-quality RCTs are needed in the future to verify the findings of this study.Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier: CRD42021293640.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Profiles of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often do not describe treatable traits, lack validation and/or their stability over time is unknown. We aimed to identify COPD profiles and their treatable traits based on simple and meaningful measures; to develop and validate a decision tree and to explore profile stability over time.
Methods
An observational, prospective study was conducted. Clinical characteristics, lung function, symptoms, impact of the disease (COPD Assessment Test—CAT), health-related quality of life, physical activity, lower-limb muscle strength and functional status were collected cross-sectionally and a subsample was followed-up monthly over six months. A principal component analysis and a clustering procedure with k-medoids were applied to identify profiles. A decision tree was developed and validated cross-sectionally. Stability was explored over time with the ratio between the number of timepoints that a participant was classified in the same profile and the total number of timepoints (i.e., 6).
Results
352 people with COPD (67.4 ± 9.9 years; 78.1% male; FEV1 = 56.2 ± 20.6% predicted) participated and 90 (67.6 ± 8.9 years; 85.6% male; FEV1 = 52.1 ± 19.9% predicted) were followed-up. Four profiles were identified with distinct treatable traits. The decision tree included CAT (< 18 or ≥ 18 points); age (< 65 or ≥ 65 years) and FEV1 (< 48 or ≥ 48% predicted) and had an agreement of 71.7% (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.62, p < 0.001) with the actual profiles. 48.9% of participants remained in the same profile whilst 51.1% moved between two (47.8%) or three (3.3%) profiles over time. Overall stability was 86.8 ± 15%.
Conclusion
Four profiles and treatable traits were identified with simple and meaningful measures possibly available in low-resource settings. A decision tree with three commonly used variables in the routine assessment of people with COPD is now available for quick allocation to the identified profiles in clinical practice. Profiles and treatable traits may change over time in people with COPD hence, regular assessments to deliver goal-targeted personalised treatments are needed.

Benefits of Telemonitoring of Pulmonary Function—3-Month Follow-Up of Home Electronic Spirometry in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030856. [PMID: 35160307 PMCID: PMC8837102 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: In patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the respiratory system determines the quality and length of life; therefore, the search for easy and safe everyday monitoring of the pulmonary function is currently extremely important, particularly in the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of a three-month home electronic spirometry (e-spirometry) monitoring of the pulmonary function and strength of respiratory muscles as well as the patients’ benefits from this telemetric program. Methods: Twenty-one boys with DMD (aged 7–22; non-ambulatory-11) received a remote electronic spirometer for home use with a special application dedicated for patients and connected with a doctor platform. Control of the hospital spirometry (forced vital capacity-FVC, forced expiratory volume in 1 second-FEV1, peak expiratory flow-PEF) and respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory-MIP and expiratory pressures-MEP) before and after the three-month monitoring were performed as well telemonitoring benefit survey. Results: A total of 1403 measurements were performed; 15 of the participants were able to achieve correct attempts. There were no differences between the hospital and the home spirometry results as well as between respiratory muscle strength during v1 vs. v2 visits for the whole study group (all parameters p > 0.05); the six participants achieved increased value of FVC during the study period. There was a positive correlation between ΔFVC and the number of assessments during the home spirometry (r = 0.7, p < 0.001). Differences between FVC and MIPcmH2O (r = 0.58; p = 0.01), MEPcmH2O (r = 0.75; p < 0.001) was revealed. The mean general satisfaction rating of the telemonitoring was 4.46/5 (SD 0.66) after one month and 4.91/5 (SD 0.28) after three months. The most reported benefit of the home monitoring was the improvement in breathing (38% of participants after one month, 52% after three months of telemonitoring). Forgetting about the procedures was the most common reason for irregular measurements; the participants reported also increased motivation but less time to perform tests. Conclusions: The study indicates high compliance of the home telemonitoring results with the examination in the hospital. Benefits from home spirometry were visible for all participants; the most important benefit was breathing improvement. The remote home spirometry is usable for everyday monitoring of the pulmonary function in DMD patients as well can be also treated as respiratory muscle training.
