Utility of the Shortness of Breath in Daily Activities Questionnaire (SOBDA-Q) to Detect Sedentary Behavior in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). J Clin Med 2023; 12:4105.

Abstract
Sedentary behavior has been shown to be an independent predictor of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, physicians have difficulty ascertaining patients' activity levels because they tend to avoid shortness of breath. The reformed shortness of breath (SOB) in the daily activities questionnaire (SOBDA-Q) specifies the degree of SOB by measuring low-intensity activity behavior in everyday living. Therefore, we aimed to explore the utility of the SOBDA-Q in detecting sedentary COPD. We compared the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), COPD assessment test (CAT), and SOBDA-Q with physical activity levels (PAL) in 17 healthy patients, 32 non-sedentary COPD patients (PAL ≥ 1.5 METs·h), and 15 sedentary COPD patients (PAL < 1.5 METs·h) in this cross-sectional study. CAT and all domains of the SOBDA-Q in all patients are significantly correlated with PAL, even after adjusting for age. The dietary domain has the highest specificity, and the outdoor activity domain has the highest sensitivity for detecting sedentary COPD. Combining these domains helped determine patients with sedentary COPD (AUC = 0.829, sensitivity = 1.00, specificity = 0.55). The SOBDA-Q is associated with PAL and could be a useful tool for determining patients with sedentary COPD. Moreover, eating and outing inactivity claims reflect sedentary behavior in patients with COPD.

Objective Measurement of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Points to Keep in Mind during Evaluations. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12093254. [PMID: 37176694 PMCID: PMC10179547 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12093254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective measurement methods using accelerometers have become the mainstream approach for evaluating physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB). However, several problems face the objective evaluation of PA and SB in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For example, indicators of PA differ depending on whether the accelerometer detects the kind of activity on the one hand, or its intensity on the other. Measured data are also strongly influenced by environmental factors (weather, season, employment status, etc.) and methodological factors (days with uncommon activities, non-wearing time, minimum required wearing time per day, minimum number of valid days required, etc.). Therefore, adjusting for these factors is required when evaluating PA or SB, especially when evaluating the effects of intervention. The exclusion of sleeping time, unification of total measurement time, and minimization of the required wearing time per day might be more important for the evaluation of ST than for evaluating PA. The lying-down-time-to-sitting-time ratio was shown to be larger in COPD patients than in healthy subjects. In this review, we clarified the problems encountered during objective evaluations of PA and SB in patients with COPD and encouraged investigators to recognize the presence of these problems and the importance of adjusting for them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE According to the current American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline, a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is indicated in patients with lung cancer being considered for lung surgery. The measurement of maximum oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text] max) is not sufficiently prevalent because it requires special technical equipment. Considering that stepping is a simple and common exercise, we aimed to establish a simple and reproducible test with standardization of exercise intensity using a triaxial accelerometer. METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers (10 male, 10 female) were included in the study. The subjects were obliged to step on the same spot at the rate of 80 and 110 counts for 1 min each and then step as quickly as possible for the last minute. Oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]) (mL/kg/min) for every breath was continuously measured during the exercise. A triaxial accelerometer was attached to the hip of test subjects whereby metabolic equivalents (METs) at each test level were measured. RESULTS The mean age of the study subjects was 42.9 ± 11.4 (mean ± SD). The mean value of [Formula: see text] at each level increased linearly along with the stepping level in each individual but varied among subjects. Using METs instead of step counts minimized the difference in regression lines among subjects. A receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed the possibility of [Formula: see text] prediction for the critical values of 10 and 20 mL/kg/min using METs. CONCLUSION A simple and reproducible stepping test was suggested as applicable to standardizing the intensity of exercise using a triaxial accelerometer.

Abstract
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, airway disease, and extrapulmonary comorbidities may cause various symptoms and impair physical activity. To investigate the relative associations of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations with physical activity in symptomatic patients, this study enrolled 193 patients with COPD who underwent chest inspiratory/expiratory CT and completed COPD assessment test (CAT) and the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) questionnaires to evaluate symptom and physical activity. In symptomatic patients (CAT ≥ 10, n = 100), emphysema on inspiratory CT and air-trapping on expiratory CT were more severe and height-adjusted cross-sectional areas of pectoralis muscles (PM index) and adjacent subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT index) on inspiratory CT were smaller in those with impaired physical activity (LSA < 60) than those without. In contrast, these findings were not observed in less symptomatic patients (CAT < 10). In multivariable analyses of the symptomatic patients, severe air-trapping and lower PM index and SAT index, but not CT-measured thoracic vertebrae bone density and coronary artery calcification, were associated with impaired physical activity. These suggest that increased air-trapping and decreased skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue quantity are independently associated with impaired physical activity in symptomatic patients with COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an equation of the predicted amount of low-intensity physical activity (LPA) by analyzing clinical parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the assessments of clinical parameters evaluated every 6 months from the start of pulmonary rehabilitation in 53 outpatients with stable COPD (age 77 ± 6 yrs; 46 men; body mass index 21.8 ± 4.1 kg/m2; forced expiratory volume in one second 63.0 ± 26.4% pred). An uniaxial accelerometer was used to measure the number of steps and the time spent in LPA of 1.8-2.3 metabolic equivalents during 14 consecutive days. We also evaluated body composition, respiratory function, skeletal muscle strength, inspiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, and gait speed. Factors associated with the time spent in LPA were examined by multivariate regression analysis. Internal validity between the predicted amount of LPA obtained by the equation and the measured amount was examined by regression analysis. RESULTS Multivariate regression analysis revealed that gait speed (β = 0.369, p = 0.007) and maximum inspiratory mouth pressure (PImax) (β = 0.329, p = 0.016) were significant influence factors on LPA (R2 = 0.354, p <0.001). The stepwise regression analysis showed a moderate correlation between the measured amount and predicted amount of LPA calculated by the regression equation (r = 0.609, p <0.001; LPA = 31.909 × gait speed + 0.202 × PImax - 20.553). CONCLUSION Gait speed and PImax were extracted as influence factors on LPA, suggesting that the regression equation could predict the amount of LPA.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease whose development is irreversible, which leads to more than six million deaths each year. There is no treatment confirmed effective for the improvement of impaired lung function, but the combination of drug therapy with non-drug therapy such as pulmonary rehabilitation training has demonstrated a great potential in reducing the occurrence of complications and delaying the progression of COPD. Self-efficacy is the core of cognitive theory, which is crucial for chronic disease management. It has been proposed as an important component of disease management to help people develop skills to manage diseases more effectively. This study reviewed the development of self-efficacy and its application in patients with COPD, with the purpose of providing a better clinical reference for the treatments of COPD.

Abstract
Background Comparative effects on physical activity of mono and dual bronchodilators remain unclear in patients with treatment-naïve chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to compare the changes in physical activity before and after tiotropium and tiotropium/olodaterol treatment in treatment-naïve COPD patients. Methods A prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-labeled, and parallel interventional study was conducted. Eighty Japanese patients with treatment-naïve COPD were randomized to receive either tiotropium or tiotropium/olodaterol treatment for 12 weeks. Spirometry and dyspnea index were assessed, and COPD assessment test (CAT) and the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) were conducted before and after treatment. Evaluation of physical activity was assessed by a triaxle accelerometer over a 2-week period before and after treatment. Results There were no differences in the mean age (69.8 vs 70.4 years), body mass index (BMI) (22.5 vs 22.6 kg/m2) and mean % forced expiratory volume in 1 second (%FEV1) at baseline (61.5 vs 62.6%) between the two groups. Changes in FEV1 (mean±standard error, 242.8±28.8 mL) and transient dyspnea index (TDI) (2.4±0.3 points) before and after tiotropium/olodaterol treatment were greater than with tiotropium treatment (104.1±31.9 mL, p<0.01 and 1.5±0.3, p=0.02, respectively). Changes in the duration of physical activity with 1.0–1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs) estimated in the sedentary position following tiotropium/olodaterol treatment (−38.7±14.7 min) tended to be reduced more than with tiotropium treatment (−4.6±10.6 min) (p=0.06), although those with ≥2.0 METs numerically increased with both treatments (+10.8±7.6 min for tiotropium/olodaterol vs +8.3±7.6 min for tiotropium, p=0.82). Tiotropium/olodaterol treatment reduced the duration of physical activity with 1.0–1.5 METs (regression coefficient, −43.6 [95% CI −84.1, −3.1], p=0.04) in a multiple regression model adjusted for cofounding factors such as age, FEV1, total CAT scores, 6MWD, and TDI. Conclusion This is the first study to report the impact of dual bronchodilator on physical activity in treatment-naïve COPD patients of Japanese with low BMI.

Abstract
Introduction Clinical studies have shown significant improvements in exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are treated with a tiotropium/olodaterol fixed-dose combination (FDC). However, the effects of this treatment, which is administered in a single device, on physical functioning in a real-life setting of patients with COPD had not been fully determined. Methods An open-label, observational study was conducted in 309 patients with COPD from 29 sites across Italy who received tiotropium/olodaterol FDC for 6 weeks. Physical functioning was evaluated using the Physical Functioning Questionnaire (PF-10). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with therapeutic success, defined as a ten-point increase in the PF-10 score from the baseline visit. Secondary endpoints were absolute changes in PF-10 score from baseline visit, the patient’s general condition assessed by the Physician’s Global Evaluation (PGE) score, and patient satisfaction with treatment, inhaling and handling of the device. Results According to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) multimodality assessment, most patients were allocated to groups B (44.4%) and D (24.5%). Comorbidities were present in 73.9% of the patients. The primary endpoint was reached in more than half of the patients (52.5%), especially in groups B and D of GOLD. Patients’ satisfaction with treatment, inhaling and handling of device was high, with a range of more than 86% to more than 89%, and very high in both groups B and D. The rates of drug-related adverse events were very low. Conclusions This real-life study showed that the tiotropium/olodaterol FDC treatment delivered via the Respimat device improves physical functioning and general patients’ condition and is associated with a high degree of satisfaction and very low rates of drug-related adverse events, regardless of the group they belong to and their comorbidities.

Improvement In Self-Reported Physical Functioning With Tiotropium/Olodaterol In Central And Eastern European COPD Patients. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2019; 14:2343-2354. [PMID: 31632003 PMCID: PMC6793952 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s204388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Reduced physical activity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with COPD. Studies suggest that treatment with the long-acting muscarinic antagonist tiotropium and the long-acting β2-agonist olodaterol increases exercise capacity. This study assessed the effects of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of tiotropium/olodaterol (delivered via Respimat®) on physical functioning in patients with stable COPD in a “real-world setting”. Methods An international, open-label, single-arm, non-interventional study conducted in nine countries measuring changes in self-reported physical functioning in COPD patients treated with tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg FDC for approximately 6 weeks. The primary endpoint was therapeutic success, defined as a minimum 10-point increase in the 10-question Physical Functioning Questionnaire (PF-10) score. Secondary endpoints included absolute change in PF-10 from Visit 1 to Visit 2, patient general condition (measured by Physician’s Global Evaluation score) and patient satisfaction with the treatment and device (assessed by Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire at the end of the study period). Results Therapeutic success was observed in 67.8% of 7218 patients (95% CI 66.7, 68.8) in the final analysis set after approximately 6 weeks of treatment with tiotropium/olodaterol. Mean change in PF-10 score between Visit 1 and Visit 2 was 16.6 points (95% CI 16.2, 17.0). Therapeutic success was 64.3% (95% CI 63.0–65.6%) in patients with infrequent (≤1) and 76.1% (95% CI 74.3–77.9%) in patients with frequent (≥2) exacerbations (p<0.0001). Patient general condition improved as indicated by an improvement in Physician’s Global Evaluation scores between visits. Most patients were very satisfied or satisfied with tiotropium/olodaterol treatment in general (81%), reported inhalation satisfaction (85%), and satisfactory handling of the device (84%). 1.3% of patients reported an investigator-defined drug-related adverse event. Conclusion Treatment with tiotropium/olodaterol led to an improvement in self-reported physical functioning in patients with COPD.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2019; 14:1967-1977. [PMID: 31564845 PMCID: PMC6724423 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s218705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The improvement of physical activity in patients with COPD is an important issue. However, no standard for the recommended number of steps for patients with COPD has been determined. We conducted a retrospective observational study to create a simple standard equation for the daily step count, which makes it easier to determine whether each subject is attaining his/her predicted value or not. Patients and methods Stable outpatients diagnosed with COPD whose physical activities had been measured using a triaxial accelerometer for more than 2 weeks were recruited from 5 institutes in Japan. Factors associated with the step count were detected by multivariate regression analysis. After the data were transformed to a normalized distribution, a multivariate linear regression equation was created using stepwise regression. Results One hundred sixty-two patients aged 72.3 (7.2) years and of FEV1 %pred 59.2 (22.8) % were recruited. Among the parameters, age, mMRC dyspnea scale and inspiratory capacity (IC) were detected by the stepwise method. The created standard equation was “Step count = (−0.079×[age]−1.595×[mMRC]+2.078×[IC]+18.149)3”. The correlations between the calculated values and the measured values were observed, and fixed, and proportional biases between them were also observed. When patients with <6500 steps/day were selected, no systematic bias between them could be detected. Conclusion A simple standard equation for Japanese patients with COPD was created using age, mMRC and IC, and could provide an individual-predicted value, especially for patients with <6500 steps/day.

Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Patterns in 326 Persons with COPD before Starting a Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Cluster Analysis. J Clin Med 2019; 8:E1346. [PMID: 31470678 PMCID: PMC6780222 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8091346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
This study applies a cluster analysis to identify typical physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) patterns in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) before starting pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). We implemented an observational design which assessed baseline data of objectively measured PA and SB from the STAR (Stay Active after Rehabilitation) study. A total of 355 persons wore an accelerometer (Actigraph wGT3X) for seven days before the start of their PR. Sociodemographic and disease-related parameters were assessed at the start of PR. We applied cluster analysis and compared clusters applying univariate variance analyses. Data was available for 326 persons (31.6% women; age ø = 58 years). Cluster analysis revealed four movement clusters with distinct PA and SB patterns: Sedentary non-movers (28.5%), sedentary occasional movers (41.7%), sedentary movers (19.6%), and sedentary exercisers (10.1%). The four clusters displayed varying levels of moderate PA before rehabilitation (Ø daily min: 9; 28; 38; 70). Notably, all four clusters displayed considerably long average sedentary time per day (Ø daily minutes: 644; 561; 490; 446). The clusters differed significantly in disease-related parameters of GOLD severity, FEV1, CAT, and 6-Min-Walk-Test. In addition to PA promotion, PR programs should consider the reduction of sedentary behaviour as a valuable goal.
