Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity is recommended as part of guideline-based care for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at all stages of the disease. However, physical activity interventions are less effective in individuals with co-occurring emotional distress (i.e., depression and/or anxiety symptoms). Interventions that dually promote improved physical and mental health in COPD are needed. The first step for intervention development is understanding individuals' experience of these factors. PURPOSE To understand the experience of emotional distress in U.S. Veterans diagnosed with COPD and to explore how emotional distress impacts physical activity engagement. METHODS Structured interviews informed by the cognitive and behavioral models of psychopathology were conducted with 29 United States Veterans with COPD (89.66% male, age 67.72 ± 6.55 years, 93.10% White) at the VA Boston Healthcare System. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and underwent thematic analysis. RESULTS Three major themes encapsulating 17 codes emerged through thematic analysis: (i) the experience of emotional distress in Veterans with COPD; (ii) the complex relationship between emotional distress, physical activity engagement, and COPD; (iii) contextual and personal factors. CONCLUSIONS Veterans' interpretation of their COPD symptoms as unpredictable and uncontrollable and COPD-related physical limitations influenced their experience of emotional distress, while the experience of emotional distress both promoted and deterred physical activity engagement. Veterans were motivated to engage in physical activity despite experiencing emotional distress when they faced a responsibility in daily life. They identified motivational strategies and self-regulation techniques to manage emotional distress and to foster physical activity.

Abstract
Exercise limitation and physical inactivity are separate, but related constructs. Both are commonly present in individuals with COPD, contribute to disease burden over and above the respiratory impairments, and are independently predictive of adverse outcomes. Because of this, clinicians should consider assessing these variables in their patients with COPD. Field tests of exercise performance such as the 6-min walk test and the incremental and endurance shuttle walk tests require limited additional resources, and results correlate with negative outcomes. Laboratory measures of exercise performance using a treadmill or cycle ergometer assess exercise capacity, provide prognostic information and have the advantage of explaining physiological mechanisms (and their interactions) underpinning exercise limitation. Limitations in exercise capacity (i.e. "cannot do") and physical inactivity (i.e. "do not do") are both associated with mortality; exercise limitation appears to be the more important driver of this outcome.

Abstract
Higher levels of exercise capacity and physical activity are desired outcomes in the comprehensive management of the COPD patient. In addition, improvements in exercise capacity and physical activity are instrumental to optimising other important therapeutic goals, such as improved health status, reduced healthcare utilisation and increased survival. Four general approaches towards increasing exercise capacity and physical activity in individuals with COPD will be discussed in this review: 1) pharmacological intervention, especially the administration of long-acting bronchodilators; 2) pulmonary rehabilitation, including exercise training and collaborative self-management; 3) behavioural interventions; and 4) web-based interventions. These are by no means the only approaches, nor are they mutually exclusive: indeed, combining them, as necessary, to meet the needs of the individual respiratory patient may promote optimal outcomes, although further research is necessary in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to persistent symptoms more than three months after the acute infection and has also an impact on patients' physical activity behaviour and sleep quality. There is evidence, that inpatient post-COVID rehabilitation can improve physical capacity and mental health impairments, but less is known about the change in physical behaviour and sleep quality. METHODS This longitudinal observational study used accelerometery to assess the level of physical activity and sleep quality before and after an inpatient rehabilitation program. The study sample consists of 100 post-COVID patients who acquired COVID-19 in the workplace. Group differences related to sex, age, COVID-19 severity, and pre-existing diseases were also analysed. RESULTS Level of physical activity and sleep quality didn't increase after rehabilitation. Overall, there is a high extent of inactivity time and poor sleep quality at both measurement points. Regarding group differences, male patients showed a significantly higher inactivity time before rehabilitation, and younger patients (< 55 years) spend significant more time in vigorous physical activity than older patients. Post-COVID patients with pre-existing cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic disease show slightly less physical activity than post-COVID patients without these comorbidities. Female patients and younger patients showed better sleep quality in some sleep parameters at both measurement points. However, no differences could be detected related to COVID-19 severity. CONCLUSIONS Ongoing strategies should be implemented to address the high amount of inactivity time and the poor sleep quality in post-COVID patients.

Abstract
Background Individuals with asthma spend less time engaging in physical activity compared to the general population. Increasing physical activity has become a patient-centered goal for the treatment of treatable traits of individuals with asthma. There are data showing the possible effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation program on physical activity in obese individuals with asthma but not in normal-weight asthmatics. The objective of this feasibility study is to estimate the number of daily steps and time spent on activity in normal-weight individuals with asthma, measured before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Methods Normal-weight individuals with moderate to severe asthma were evaluated. The individuals measured their daily steps with an accelerometer for 5 days before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation program. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05486689. Results In total, 17 participants were enrolled; one dropout and data on the time in activity of two individuals are missing due to a software error during the download. Data from 16 patients were analyzed. The median number of steps/day at baseline was 5,578 (25th, 75th percentiles = 4,874, 9,685) while the median activity time was 214 min (25th, 75th percentiles = 165, 239). After the rehabilitation program, the number of daily steps increased by a median value of 472 (p-value = 0.561) and the time in activity reduced by 17 min (p-value = 0.357). We also found a significant difference in quality of life, muscle strength, and exercise capacity. Conclusions The results of this study make it possible to calculate the sample size of future studies whose main outcome is daily steps in normal-weight individuals with asthma. The difficulties encountered in downloading time in activity data do not allow the same for this outcome. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT05486689.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The variety of innovations to traditional centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation (CBPR), including different modes of delivery and adjuncts, are likely to lead to differential responses in physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. OBJECTIVES To examine the relative effectiveness of different pulmonary rehabilitation-based interventions on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. METHODS Randomised trials in chronic respiratory disease involving pulmonary rehabilitation-based interventions were systematically searched for. Network meta-analyses compared interventions for changes in physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in COPD. RESULTS 46 studies were included, and analyses were performed on most common outcomes: steps per day (k=24), time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA; k=12) and sedentary time (k=8). There were insufficient data on sleep outcomes (k=3). CBPR resulted in greater steps per day and MVPA and reduced sedentary time compared to usual care. CBPR+physical activity promotion resulted in greater increases in steps per day compared to both usual care and CBPR, with greater increases in MVPA and reductions in sedentary time compared to usual care, but not CBPR. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation resulted in greater increases in steps per day and decreases in sedentary time compared to usual care. Compared to usual care, CBPR+physical activity promotion was the only intervention where the lower 95% confidence interval for steps per day surpassed the minimal important difference. No pulmonary rehabilitation-related intervention resulted in greater increases in MVPA or reductions in sedentary time compared to CBPR. CONCLUSION The addition of physical activity promotion to pulmonary rehabilitation improves volume of physical activity, but not intensity, compared to CBPR. High risk of bias and low certainty of evidence suggests that these results should be viewed with caution.

Exercise-based interventions targeting balance and falls in people with COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur Respir Rev 2024; 33:240003.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This review quantifies the mean treatment effect of exercise-based interventions on balance and falls risk in people with COPD. METHODS A structured search strategy (2000-2023) was applied to eight databases to identify studies evaluating the impact of exercise-based interventions (≥14 days in duration) on balance or falls in people with COPD. Pooled mean treatment effects (95% confidence intervals (CIs), 95% prediction intervals (PIs)) were calculated for outcomes reported in five or more studies. Inter-individual response variance and the promise of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) were explored. RESULTS 34 studies (n=1712) were included. There were greater improvements in balance post intervention compared to controls for the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (mean 2.51, 95% CI 0.22-4.80, 95% PI -4.60-9.63), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test (mean -1.12 s, 95% CI -1.69- -0.55 s, 95% PI -2.78-0.54 s), Single-Leg Stance (SLS) test (mean 3.25 s, 95% CI 2.72-3.77 s, 95% PI 2.64-3.86 s) and Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale (mean 8.50%, 95% CI 2.41-14.58%, 95% PI -8.92-25.92%). Effect on falls remains unknown. Treatment effects were larger in male versus mixed-sex groups for the ABC scale and SLS test, and in balance training versus other exercise-based interventions for the BBS and TUG test. Falls history was not associated with changes in balance. Meta-analysis of individual response variance was not possible and study-level results were inconclusive. Eleven promising BCTs were identified (promise ratio ≥2). CONCLUSION Evidence for the effect of exercise-based interventions eliciting clinically important improvements in balance for people with COPD is weak, but targeted balance training produces the greatest benefits. Future exercise interventions may benefit from inclusion of the identified promising BCTs.

Abstract
Pollution and climate change constitute a combined, grave and pervasive threat to humans and to the life-support systems on which they depend. Evidence shows a strong association between pollution and climate change on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) is no exception. An increasing number of studies has documented the impact of environmental pollution and extreme temperatures on pulmonary circulation and the right heart, on the severity and outcomes of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH), on the incidence of pulmonary embolism, and the prevalence and severity of diseases associated with PH. Furthermore, the downstream consequences of climate change impair health care systems' accessibility, which could pose unique obstacles in the case of PVD patients, who require a complex and sophisticated network of health interventions. Patients, caretakers and health care professionals should thus be included in the design of policies aimed at adaptation to and mitigation of current challenges, and prevention of further climate change. The purpose of this review is to summarize the available evidence concerning the impact of environmental pollution and climate change on the pulmonary circulation, and to propose measures at the individual, healthcare and community levels directed at protecting patients with PVD.

Abstract
Despite considerable evidence for the benefit in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is insufficient. However, music therapy may help address this gap due to its unique benefits. Therefore, we aimed to develop a music-therapy facilitated pulmonary telerehabilitation program based on rhythm-guided walking, singing, and objective telemonitoring. A supervised, parallel-group, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted, including 75 patients with COPD anticipated to be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups. The intervention groups will receive a 12-week remotely monitored rehabilitation program, while the usual care group will not receive any rehabilitation interventions. Of the two intervention groups, the multi-module music therapy group will contain rhythm-guided walking and singing training, while the rhythm-guided walking group will only include music tempo-guided walking. The primary outcome is the distance of the incremental shuttle walking test. Secondary outcomes include respiratory muscle function, spirometry, lower extremity function, symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression levels, physical activity level, training adherence, and safety measurements. The results of this study can contribute to develop and evaluate a home-based music-facilitated rehabilitation program, which has the potential to act as a supplement and/or substitute (according to the needs) for traditional center-based PR in patients with stable COPD.

OBJECTIVE Through a qualitative inquiry using interviews and the adoption of the people-object-environment framework, this study aims to understand the influences of interpersonal, environmental, and situational factors on the perceptions and considerations of individuals involved in home-based PR for patients with chronic lung disease. METHODS One-on-one interviews were conducted with 20 patients with chronic lung disease and 20 health care professionals for investigating their attitudes and opinions based on their experiences regarding home-based PR as well as for identifying the key factors affecting the benefits and drawbacks of such therapies. This study further evaluates the feasibility of using digital tools for medical diagnosis and treatment by examining the technology usage of both parties. RESULTS The 4 key issues that all participants were the most concerned about were as follows: distance to outpatient medical care, medical efficiency, internet connectivity and equipment, and physical space for diagnosis and treatment. Interviews with patients and health care professionals revealed that the use of technology and internet was perceived differently depending on age and area of residence. Most participants reported that digital tools and internet connectivity had many benefits but still could not solve all the problems; moreover, these same digital tools and network transmission could lead to problems such as information security and digital divide concerns. This study also emphasizes the significant impact of human behavior and thinking on shaping the design of health care interventions and technologies. Understanding user perspectives and experiences is crucial for developing effective solutions for unmet needs. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that despite the different perspectives of patients and health care professionals, their considerations of the key issues are very similar. Therefore, the implementation of plans related to telemedicine diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation should take the suggestions and considerations of both parties into account as crucial factors for telehealth care design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal progression of residual lung abnormalities (ground-glass opacities, reticulations, and fibrotic-like changes) and pulmonary function, three years following coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19). METHODS This prospective, longitudinal cohort study enrolled COVID-19 survivors who exhibited residual lung abnormalities upon discharge from two hospitals. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, and 3 years post-discharge, and included pulmonary function tests, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), chest CT scans, and symptom questionnaires. Non-COVID-19 controls were retrospectively recruited for comparative analysis. RESULTS 728 COVID-19 survivors and 792 controls were included. From 6 months to 3 years, there was a gradual improvement in reduced diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO<80% predicted, 49% versus 38%, p=0.001), 6MWD (496 m versus 510 m, p=0.002) and residual lung abnormalities(46% versus 36%, p<0.001), regardless of the disease severity. Patients with residual lung abnormalities at 3 years more commonly had respiratory symptoms (32% versus 16%, p<0.001), lower 6MWD (494 m versus 510 m, p=0.003), and abnormal DLCO (57% versus 27%, p<0.001) compared to those with complete resolution. Compared to the controls, the proportion of DLCO impairment (38% versus 17%, p<0.001) and respiratory symptoms (23% versus 2.2%, p<0.001) were significantly higher in the matched COVID-19 survivors at the 3-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Most patients exhibited improvement in radiological abnormalities and pulmonary function over time following COVID-19. However, more than one-third continued to have persistent lung abnormalities at the 3-year mark, which were associated with respiratory symptoms and reduced diffusion capacity.

The acceptability, practicality, implementation and efficacy of a physical and social activity intervention 'BreatheHappy' for people with long-term respiratory conditions: A feasibility study. Chron Respir Dis 2024; 21:14799731241238435. [PMID: 38553857 PMCID: PMC10981237 DOI: 10.1177/14799731241238435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the feasibility of a group-based pilot programme of low-to-moderate physical activity training, education and social activities, by investigating acceptability, practicality, implementation and efficacy testing. We offer suggestions on programme adaptions for future study. METHODS People with a range of chronic respiratory diseases were invited to participate in a pilot 12 week group activity programme. Activities included outdoor walking, tai-chi, education and a range of social activities. Acceptability was determined by participant experiences determined during interviews. Practicality was determined by programme and outcome measure completion, cost and adverse events. Implementation was determined according to whether the programme ran as planned. Efficacy was determined by statistical analyses of outcomes including hand grip strength, timed up and go test, COPD Helplessness Index, COPD Assessment Test, and measures of physical activity via accelerometry. RESULTS Thematic analysis indicated that the "BreatheHappy" programme was acceptable. Seven of nine participants completed eight out of 10 sessions and the majority completed all outcome measures. "BreatheHappy" was therefore considered practical. The programme was not implemented as planned, with only 10 sessions running rather than the 12 intended. There was a significant increase in daily step counts (MD: 1284 95% CI: 240-2329 p: 0.024 effect size: 0.988), stepping time (MD: 16 min 95% CI: 5-27 min p: 0.011 effect size: 1.36) and daily minutes completing light physical activity (MD: 23 95% CI: 6-38 p: 0.006 effect size: 1.6). However, time spent sitting for ≥30 min but ≤60 min significantly increased (MD: 26 95% CI: 0.2-52 min p: 0.049 effect size: 0.931), showing signs of efficacy and changing physical activity behaviour patterns. DISCUSSION A 10-week programme of low-moderate physical activity training, education and social activities shows signs of feasibility for future research. Suggested adaptions for future study include using physical activity measures such as daily step count or light physical activity for a primary outcome, and mental health and social health related outcome measures relatable to participant's beneficial experiences of the programme. Recruitment in future studies will try and reach both those less socially active and possibly those who have completed pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Venues should be close to efficient transport links whilst different frequencies and durations of programme delivery should be trialled. Adequate funding should be provided for both staff running the programme and blinded research staff for outcome measurement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify factors related to the frequency of physical activity (PA) promotion by health professionals working in cardiac and/or pulmonary rehabilitation. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey of health professionals working in cardiac and/or pulmonary rehabilitation in Australia was conducted between July and November 2022. RESULTS A total of 71 health professionals from four disciplines (physiotherapy, nursing, exercise physiology, occupational therapy) completed the survey. The majority agreed that PA promotion was part of their role. Despite this, only half of the participants encouraged ≥ 10 patients per month to be more physically active. In logistic regression modelling, health professionals that measured patients' PA levels (odds ratio 8.04, 95% confidence level 1.45-44.19) and prioritised PA promotion regardless of other patient problems (odds ratio 3.3, 95% confidence level 0.74-14.82) were much more likely to frequently promote PA to patients. CONCLUSION Measurement of patients' PA levels within cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation and making PA promotion a priority may impact the implementation of PA promotion within these programs. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Physical activity measurement as a key performance indicator in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation is indicated. This may be an important strategy to increase physical activity promotion by cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation health professionals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exercise training is a cornerstone of the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, whereas the related interindividual heterogeneity in skeletal muscle dysfunction and adaptations are not yet fully understood. We set out to investigate the effects of exercise training and supplemental oxygen on functional and structural peripheral muscle adaptation. METHODS In this prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study, 28 patients with nonhypoxemic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, 45.92% ± 9.06%) performed 6 wk of combined endurance and strength training, three times a week while breathing either supplemental oxygen or medical air. The impact on exercise capacity, muscle strength, and quadriceps femoris muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was assessed by maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing, 10-repetition maximum strength test of knee extension, and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. RESULTS After exercise training, patients demonstrated a significant increase in functional capacity, aerobic capacity, exercise tolerance, quadriceps muscle strength, and bilateral CSA. Supplemental oxygen affected significantly the training impact on peak work rate when compared with medical air (+0.20 ± 0.03 vs +0.12 ± 0.03 W·kg -1 , P = 0.047); a significant increase in CSA (+3.9 ± 1.3 cm 2 , P = 0.013) was only observed in the training group using oxygen. Supplemental oxygen and exercise-induced peripheral desaturation were identified as significant opposing determinants of muscle gain during this exercise training intervention, which led to different adaptations of CSA between the respective subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The heterogenous functional and structural muscle adaptations seem determined by supplemental oxygen and exercise-induced hypoxia. Indeed, supplemental oxygen may facilitate muscular training adaptations, particularly in limb muscle dysfunction, thereby contributing to the enhanced training responses on maximal aerobic and functional capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a 9-week rehabilitation program (RP) for patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) in the short- and medium-term. DESIGN Nonrandomized controlled trial with 6 months follow-up. SETTING Outpatient rehabilitation program. PARTICIPANTS A referred sample of 36 hEDS patients were assessed for eligibility (N=36), 25 were included, 22 completed the RP and 19 completed the follow-up. INTERVENTIONS A 9 -week control period without intervention followed by a 9-week RP. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Functional exercise capacity was used as a primary outcome measure. Balance, kinesiophobia, fatigue, pain, quality of life, anxiety, depression, and hyperventilation were measured as secondary outcomes. RESULTS No significant change was observed during the 9-week control period before the RP. There was a significant improvement immediately after the RP for the functional exercise capacity, balance with eyes closed, fatigue, and quality of life (P<.05). Even more improvements were found 6 weeks after the end of the RP, and there was still an improvement after 6 months in functional exercise capacity, kinesiophobia, depression, hyperventilation, and some components of the quality of life. CONCLUSION This study supports the effectiveness of an RP as a useful management tool for hEDS patients.

Abstract
Interventions to preserve functional independence in older adults are critically needed to optimize 'successful aging' among the large and increasing population of older adults in the United States. For most aging adults, the management of chronic diseases is the most common and impactful risk factor for loss of functional independence. Chronic disease management inherently involves the learning and adaptation of new behaviors, such as adopting or modifying physical activity habits and managing weight. Despite the importance of chronic disease management in older adults, vanishingly few individuals optimally manage their health behavior in the service of chronic disease stabilization to preserve functional independence. Contemporary conceptual models of chronic disease management and health habit theory suggest that this lack of optimal management may result from an underappreciated distinction within the health behavior literature: the behavioral domains critical for initiation of new behaviors (Initiation Phase) are largely distinct from those that facilitate their maintenance (Maintenance Phase). Psychological factors, particularly experiential acceptance and trait levels of openness are critical to engagement with new health behaviors, willingness to make difficult lifestyle changes, and the ability to tolerate aversive affective responses in the process. Cognitive factors, particularly executive function, are critical to learning new skills, using them effectively across different areas of life and contextual demands, and updating of skills to facilitate behavioral maintenance. Emerging data therefore suggests that individuals with greater executive function are better able to sustain behavior changes, which in turn protects against cognitive decline. In addition, social and structural supports of behavior change serve a critical buffering role across phases of behavior change. The present review attempts to address these gaps by proposing a novel biobehavioral intervention framework that incorporates both individual-level and social support system-level variables for the purpose of treatment tailoring. Our intervention framework triangulates on the central importance of self-regulatory functioning, proposing that both cognitive and psychological mechanisms ultimately influence an individuals' ability to engage in different aspects of self-management (individual level) in the service of maintaining independence. Importantly, the proposed linkages of cognitive and affective functioning align with emerging individual difference frameworks, suggesting that lower levels of cognitive and/or psychological flexibility represent an intermediate phenotype of risk. Individuals exhibiting self-regulatory lapses either due to the inability to regulate their emotional responses or due to the presence of executive functioning impairments are therefore the most likely to require assistance to preserve functional independence. In addition, these vulnerabilities will be more easily observable for individuals requiring greater complexity of self-management behavioral demands (e.g. complexity of medication regimen) and/or with lesser social support. Our proposed framework also intuits several distinct intervention pathways based on the profile of self-regulatory behaviors: we propose that individuals with intact affect regulation and impaired executive function will preferentially respond to 'top-down' training approaches (e.g., strategy and process work). Individuals with intact executive function and impaired affect regulation will respond to 'bottom-up' approaches (e.g., graded exposure). And individuals with impairments in both may require treatments targeting caregiving or structural supports, particularly in the context of elevated behavioral demands.

Abstract
Purpose This study investigated whether adding step-feedback (step-FB) from a pedometer to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs could increase the physical activity (PA) of low-activity patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients and Methods We included low-activity patients with severe COPD (step-FB group: 14 patients; control group: 17 patients) who underwent PR for the first time. The usual PR program for patients with severe COPD consisted of two 8-week sessions (PR session 1: PR1, PR session 2: PR2). The step-FB group was provided a program with step-FB added to PR2 (PR2+step-FB). Furthermore, all patients were evaluated at pre-intervention (baseline), PR1, and PR2. The primary outcome of this study was the number of daily steps (steps) and energy expenditure from activity (energy expenditure), as measured by a pedometer. The secondary outcomes were dyspnea and exercise tolerance. Results In PR1, dyspnea, exercise tolerance, steps, and energy expenditure were significantly improved as compared to baseline, in both groups. During PR2, dyspnea and exercise tolerance were significantly improved as compared to PR1, in both groups. Steps and energy expenditure were significantly improved in the step-FB group, but not in the control group. Conclusion PR improved PA by improving physical function in severe COPD patients. Adding step-FB improved PA in severe COPD patients by presenting an activity goal for improving PA. Therefore, pedometer-based step-FB is a viable addition to PR and has the potential to improve PA continuously in these patients.

Development of a physical activity counseling intervention for people with chronic respiratory disease based on the health action process approach. Pilot Feasibility Stud 2023; 9:173.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) counseling holds promise for increasing PA levels in people with chronic respiratory disease, though little long-term change has been shown to date. Here, we describe the development of a Health Action Process Approach-based PA counseling intervention that aims to promote PA and exercise in people with chronic respiratory disease who are enrolled in pulmonary rehabilitation. METHODS To collaborate in defining and refining the intervention, we convened a varied team of authors that included a panel of five stakeholder partners: three patients, one clinician, and one health behavior change researcher. We completed three steps in the intervention development process: (1) initial intervention creation, (2) iterative intervention refinement, and (3) assessment of intervention acceptability. In step 1, we created an initial draft of the PA counseling intervention based on the HAPA theoretical framework, previous evidence in people with chronic respiratory disease, and clinical experience. In step 2, we used qualitative methods of focus groups and interviews to further develop and refine the intervention. Fifteen meetings occurred with the five-member stakeholder partner panel (six focus groups with the three patient partners, four interviews with the clinician partner, and five interviews with the researcher partner) over 5 months to systematically elicit input and incorporate it into the intervention. In step 3, we measured the intervention acceptability using five-point Likert scale ratings. RESULTS Intervention materials included the eligibility screen, participant workbook, and leader guide. We identified key themes in the input from the stakeholder partners and incorporated this input into the intervention content and methods. Ratings of the intervention by the stakeholder partners (n=5) were high with mean ratings ranging 4.0-5.0 on a five-point scale. CONCLUSIONS This development process successfully engaged an intervention development team with diverse perspectives and resulted in a PA counseling intervention for people with chronic respiratory disease. The intervention's strong theoretical underpinning, person-centeredness, and the contributions from varied perspectives during intervention development position it well for future evaluations of feasibility, efficacy, and effectiveness.

Cardiovascular Risk Associated with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) Genotypes: A Meta-Analysis with Meta-Regressions. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6490.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) can result in severe liver and respiratory disorders. The uninhibited elastase activity on the elastic tissue of arterial walls suggests that AATD may also impact vascular health. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis of the studies evaluating cardiovascular risk in individuals with AATD and non-AATD controls. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in the main scientific databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Differences between cases and controls were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The protocol was registered on PROSPERO under the identification number CRD42023429756. RESULTS The analysis of eight studies showed that, with a prevented fraction of disease of 15.0% and a corresponding OR of 0.779 (95%CI: 0.665-0.912; p = 0.002), a total of 24,428 individuals with AATD exhibited a significantly lower risk of ischemic heart disease compared to 534,654 non-AATD controls. Accordingly, given a prevented fraction of disease of 19.5%, a lower risk of acute myocardial infarction was documented when analyzing four studies on 21,741 cases and 513,733 controls (OR: 0.774; 95%CI: 0.599-0.999; p = 0.049). Sensitivity and subgroup analyses substantially confirmed results. Meta-regression models suggested that these findings were not influenced by AATD genotypes or prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among cases and controls, while higher differences in the prevalence of male sex (Z-score: 3.40; p < 0.001), hypertension (Z-score: 2.31; p = 0.021), and diabetes (Z-score: 4.25; p < 0.001) were associated with a lower effect size. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with AATD may exhibit a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, even in the presence of mild deficiency of the serine protease inhibitor. Although caution is warranted due to the observational nature of the data, future pharmacological and rehabilitation strategies should also take this controversial relationship into account.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs improve physical fitness, symptoms and quality of life (QoL) of patients with COPD. However, improved physical activity (PA) is not guaranteed after PR and the clinical benefits fade off after PR discharge. We aimed to investigate whether a 9 months PA-telecoaching program is able to improve PA of patients with COPD, after 3 months of PR and if this leads to maintenance of PR-acquired benefits. METHODS Patients with COPD enrolled in a 6-month PR program were randomized to a (semi-automated) PA-telecoaching program or usual care, 3 months after PR initiation. The intervention consisted of a smartphone application with individual targets and feedback (for 6 months) and self-monitoring with a step counter (for 9 months). Patients were followed up for 9 months after randomization. Primary outcome was PA (daily step count by accelerometery), secondary outcomes were exercise tolerance, quadriceps force, dyspnea and QoL. RESULTS Seventy-three patients were included (mean ± SD: 65 ± 7 years, FEV1 49 ± 19%, 6MWD 506 ± 75 m, PA 5225 ± 2646 steps/day). The intervention group presented a significant improvement in steps/day at every visit compared to usual care (between-group differences mean ± SE: 1431 ± 555 steps/day at 9 months after randomization, p = 0.01). Secondary outcomes did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION The semi-automated PA-telecoaching program implemented after 3 months of PR was effective to improve the amount of PA (steps/day) during PR and after follow-up. However, this was not accompanied by the maintenance of other PR-acquired benefits. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov. Identifier: NCT02702791. Retrospectively registered on March 9, 2016. Start study October 2015. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02702791?term=NCT02702791&draw=2&rank=1 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioids are recommended to treat advanced refractory dyspnoea despite optimal therapy by the American Thoracic Society clinical practice guidelines, while newly published randomised controlled trials of opioids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease yield conflicting results. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of opioids for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42021272556). DATA SOURCES Databases of PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL were searched from inception to 2022 for eligible randomised controlled trials. RESULTS Twenty-four studies including 975 patients, were included. In cross-over studies, opioids improved breathlessness (standardised mean difference, -0.43; 95% CI, -0.55 to -0.30; I2 = 18%) and exercise endurance (standardised mean difference, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.02-0.41; I2 = 70%). However, opioids failed to improve dyspnoea (standardised mean difference, -0.02; 95% CI, -0.22 to 0.19; I2 = 39%) and exercise endurance (standardised mean difference, 0.00; 95% CI, -0.27 to 0.27; I2 = 0%) in parallel control studies that administered sustained-release opioids for more than 1 week. The opioids used in most crossover studies were short-acting and rarely associated with serious adverse effects. Only minor side effects such as dizziness, nausea, constipation and vomiting were identified for short-acting opioids. CONCLUSIONS Sustained-release opioids did not improve dyspnoea and exercise endurance. Short-acting opioids appeared to be safe, have potential to lessen dyspnoea and improve exercise endurance, supporting benefit in managing episodes of breathlessness and providing prophylactic treatment for exertional dyspnoea.

Abstract
Rationale The effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on physical activity (PA) outcomes is not fully elucidated in patients with COPD. The objectives of the present study were to provide estimation of treatment effects of all available interventions on PA outcomes in patients with COPD and to provide recommendations regarding the future role of PA outcomes in pharmacological trials. Materials and methods This review was conducted according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and reported in line with PRISMA. Records were identified through searches of 12 scientific databases; the most updated search was performed in January 2023. Results 74 studies published from 2000 to 2021 were included, with a total of 8140 COPD patients. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s % predicted ranged between 31% and 74%, with a mean of 55%. Steps/day constituted the most frequently assessed PA outcome in interventional studies. Compared to usual care, PA behavioural modification interventions resulted in improvements in the mean (95% CI) steps/day when implemented alone (by 1035 (576-1493); p<0.00001) or alongside exercise training (by 679 (93-1266); p=0.02). Moreover, bronchodilator therapy yielded a favourable difference of 396 (125-668; p=0.004) steps/day, compared to placebo. Conclusions PA behavioural modification and pharmacological interventions lead to significant improvements in steps/day, compared to control and placebo groups, respectively. Compared to bronchodilator therapy, PA behavioural modification interventions were associated with a 2-fold greater improvement in steps/day. Large-scale pharmacological studies are needed to establish an intervention-specific minimal clinically important difference for PA outcomes as well as their convergent validity to accelerate qualification as potential biomarkers and efficacy end-points for regulatory approval.

Abstract
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a hereditary disorder and a genetic risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Physical activity (PA) is important for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Little is known about PA in people with AATD. Therefore, we aimed to map the research undertaken to improve and/or measure PA, sedentary behaviour (SB) or exercise in people with AATD. Searches were conducted in CINAHL, Medline, EMBASE and clinical trial databases for studies published in 2021. Databases were searched for keywords (physical activity, AATD, exercise, sedentary behavior) as well as synonyms of these terms, which were connected using Boolean operators. The search yielded 360 records; 37 records were included for review. All included studies (n = 37) assessed exercise capacity; 22 studies reported the use of the six-minute walk test, the incremental shuttle walk test and cardiopulmonary exercise testing were reported in three studies each. Other objective measures of exercise capacity included a submaximal treadmill test, the Naughton protocol treadmill test, cycle ergometer maximal test, endurance shuttle walk test, constant cycle work rate test, a peak work rate test and the number of flights of stairs a participant was able to walk without stopping. A number of participant self-reported measures of exercise capacity were noted. Only one study aimed to analyze the effects of an intensive fitness intervention on daily PA. One further study reported on an exercise intervention and objectively measured PA at baseline. No studies measured SB. The assessment of PA and use of PA as an intervention in AATD is limited, and research into SB absent. Future research should measure PA and SB levels in people with AATD and explore interventions to enhance PA in this susceptible population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity is one of the most important prognostic factors for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Physical activity correlates significantly with skeletal muscle mass and strength. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been conducted to improve physical activity, but its effectiveness has been inconsistent. Nutritional status is also related to physical activity in patients with COPD. The relationships between skeletal muscle mass, strength, and nutritional status evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) were investigated. How nutritional status alters the relationships between physical activity, exercise capacity, skeletal muscle mass, and strength was also investigated. METHODS This retrospective, cross-sectional study enrolled 81 outpatients with COPD. In all patients, physical activity, exercise capacity, body composition assessment, and MNA-SF were assessed. The relationships between physical activity, exercise capacity, skeletal muscle mass, and strength were examined according to the MNA-SF. RESULTS The MNA-SF high group had significantly higher skeletal muscle mass than the MNA-SF low group when skeletal muscle strength was the covariate. In the MNA-SF low group, physical activity positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass. In the MNA-SF high group, physical activity positively correlated with skeletal muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the nutritional status of patients with COPD alters the relationship between physical activity and skeletal muscle mass or strength. Optimizing rehabilitation with nutrition interventions according to nutritional status might improve physical activity in patients with COPD.

A Case for Unifying Accelerometry-Derived Movement Behaviors and Tests of Exercise Capacity for the Assessment of Relative Physical Activity Intensity. J Phys Act Health 2023; 20:303-310. [PMID: 36854312 DOI: 10.1123/jpah.2022-0590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023]
Abstract
Albert Einstein taught us that "everything is relative." People's experience of physical activity (PA) is no different, with "relativism" particularly pertinent to the perception of intensity. Markers of absolute and relative intensities of PA have different but complimentary utilities, with absolute intensity considered best for PA guideline adherence and relative intensity for personalized exercise prescription. Under the paradigm of exercise and PA as medicine, our Technical Note proposes a method of synchronizing accelerometry with the incremental shuttle walking test to facilitate description of the intensity of the free-living PA profile in absolute and relative terms. Our approach is able to generate and distinguish "can do" or "cannot do" (based on exercise capacity) and "does do" or "does not do" (based on relative intensity PA) classifications in a chronic respiratory disease population, facilitating the selection of potential appropriate individually tailored interventions. By synchronizing direct assessments of exercise capacity and PA, clearer insights into the intensity of PA performed during everyday life can be gleaned. We believe the next steps are as follows: (1) to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using relative and absolute intensities in combination to personalize the approach, (2) to determine its sensitivity to change following interventions (eg, exercise-based rehabilitation), and (3) to explore the use of this approach in healthier populations and in other long-term conditions.

Abstract
Insomnia has been linked to adverse chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outcomes including exacerbations, yet its impact on COPD-related healthcare utilization and costs is unknown. In this study, we investigated the associations between insomnia and healthcare utilization and costs in patients with COPD. A retrospective cohort of veterans with COPD were identified from national Veterans Affairs administration data for fiscal years 2012-2017. Insomnia was operationalized as having an insomnia diagnosis based on International Classification of Disease codes or having a prescription of > 30 doses of a sedative-hypnotic medication in a given fiscal year. The index date for insomnia was the first date when dual criteria for COPD and insomnia was met. The index date for those without insomnia was set as the COPD index date. Our primary outcomes were 1-year healthcare utilization and costs related to outpatient visits and hospitalizations after index date. COPD-related healthcare utilization variables included number of prescription fills of corticosteroids and/or antibiotics and outpatient visits and hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of COPD. Out of 1,011,646 patients (96% men, mean age 68.4 years) diagnosed with COPD, 407,363 (38.8%) had insomnia. After adjustment for confounders, insomnia was associated with higher rates of outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and fills for corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, longer hospital length of stay, and $10,344 higher hospitalization costs in the 12 months after index date. These findings highlight the importance of insomnia as a potentially modifiable target for reducing the burden of COPD on patients and healthcare systems.

Technological advances and digital solutions to improve quality of life in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review. Aging Clin Exp Res 2023; 35:953-968. [PMID: 36952118 PMCID: PMC10034255 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-023-02381-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several technological advances and digital solutions have been proposed in the recent years to face the emerging need for tele-monitoring older adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, several challenges have negatively influenced an evidence-based approach to improve Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) in these patients. AIM To assess the effects of tele-monitoring devices on HR-QoL in older adults with COPD. METHODS On November 11, 2022, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consistent with the following PICO model: older people with COPD as participants, tele-monitoring devices as intervention, any comparator, and HR-QoL as the primary outcome. Functional outcomes, sanitary costs, safety, and feasibility were considered secondary outcomes. The quality assessment was performed in accordance with the Jadad scale. RESULTS A total of 1845 records were identified and screened for eligibility. As a result, 5 RCTs assessing 584 patients (423 males and 161 females) were included in the systematic review. Tele-monitoring devices were ASTRI telecare system, WeChat social media, Pedometer, SweetAge monitoring system, and CHROMED monitoring platform. No significant improvements in terms of HR-QoL were reported in the included studies. However, positive effects were shown in terms of the number of respiratory events and hospitalization in patients telemonitored by SweetAge system and CHROMED platform. DISCUSSION Although a little evidence supports the role of tele-monitoring devices in improving HR-QoL in older patients, positive effects were reported in COPD exacerbation consequences and functional outcomes. CONCLUSION Tele-monitoring solutions might be considered as sustainable strategies to implement HR-QoL in the long-term management of older patients with COPD.

Abstract
Background: Fatigue is the most common symptom among cancer survivors. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) may occur at any point in the cancer care continuum. Multiple factors contribute to CRF development and severity, including cancer type, treatments, presence of other symptoms, comorbidities, and medication side effects. Clinically, increasing physical activity, enhancing sleep quality, and recognizing sleep disorders are integral to managing CRF. Unfortunately, CRF is infrequently recognized, evaluated, or treated in lung cancer survivors despite more frequent and severe symptoms than in other cancers. Therefore, increased awareness and understanding of CRF are needed to improve health-related quality of life in lung cancer survivors. Objectives: 1) To identify and prioritize knowledge and research gaps and 2) to develop and prioritize research questions to evaluate mechanistic, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches to CRF among lung cancer survivors. Methods: We convened a multidisciplinary panel to review the available literature on CRF, focusing on the impacts of physical activity, rehabilitation, and sleep disturbances in lung cancer. We used a three-round modified Delphi process to prioritize research questions. Results: This statement identifies knowledge gaps in the 1) detection and diagnostic evaluation of CRF in lung cancer survivors; 2) timing, goals, and implementation of physical activity and rehabilitation; and 3) evaluation and treatment of sleep disturbances and disorders to reduce CRF. Finally, we present the panel's initial 32 research questions and seven final prioritized questions. Conclusions: This statement offers a prioritized research agenda to 1) advance clinical and research efforts and 2) increase awareness of CRF in lung cancer survivors.

Abstract
Coal workers are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to exposure to occupational hazards such as dust. In this study, a risk scoring system is constructed according to the optimal model to provide feasible suggestions for the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in coal workers. Using 3955 coal workers who participated in occupational health check-ups at Gequan mine and Dongpang mine of Hebei Jizhong Energy from July 2018 to August 2018 as the study subjects, random forest, logistic regression, and convolutional neural network models are established, and model performance is evaluated to select the optimal model, and finally a risk scoring system is constructed according to the optimal model to achieve model visualization. The training set results show that the logistic, random forest, and CNN models have sensitivities of 78.55%, 86.89%, and 77.18%; specificities of 85.23%, 92.32%, and 87.61%; accuracies of 81.21%, 85.40%, and 83.02%; Brier scores of 0.14, 0.10, and 0.14; and AUCs of 0.76, 0.88, and 0.78, respectively, and similar results are obtained for the test set and validation set, with the random forest model outperforming the other two models. The risk scoring system constructed according to the importance ranking of random forest predictor variables has an AUC of 0.842; the evaluation results of the risk scoring system shows that its accuracy rate is 83.7% and the AUC is 0.827, and the established risk scoring system has good discriminatory ability. The random forest model outperforms the CNN and logistic regression models. The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk scoring system constructed based on the random forest model has good discriminatory power.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite well-known positive effects of pulmonary rehabilitation, access is limited. New strategies to improve access are advocated, including the use of eHealth tools. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore prospective users' preferences for an eHealth tool to support the self-management of physical activity and exercise training in COPD. METHODS A qualitative research design was applied. Data was collected in six, audio recorded, digital co-creation workshops, which were guided by a participatory and appreciative action and reflection approach. A total of 17 prospective users took part in the process, including people with COPD (n = 10), relatives (n = 2), health care givers (n = 4) and a patient organization representative (n = 1). During the workshops, pre-selected relevant topics to exploring end-users' preferences for eHealth support in self-management in COPD were discussed. The workshops were recorded and transcribed. Data was analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The overarching theme "fusing with, rather than replacing existing support structures" was uncovered when the two-sided relationship between positive expectations towards digital solutions and the fear of losing access to established rehabilitation systems, emerged in the discussions. Three categories were identified, focused on wishes for an evidence-based support platform of information about COPD, a well-designed eHealth tool including functionalities to motivate in the self-management of physical activity and exercise training, and requirements of various forms of support. Co-creators believed that there were clear benefits in combining the best of digital and existing support systems. CONCLUSIONS Co-creators viewed an eHealth tool including support for physical activity and exercise training as a valuable digital complement to the now existing rehabilitation services. A future eHealth tool needs to focus on user-friendliness and prospective users's requests.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic respiratory diseases have a clear impact on occupational performance and engagement. Although occupational therapists have long provided services to this population, evidence regarding the unique role and true impact of occupational therapy is emerging. AIMS/OBJECTIVES The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the range, context, and outcomes of occupational therapy services for adults with chronic respiratory conditions. METHODS A scoping review guided by the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley was completed. To be included articles needed to be peer reviewed primary studies published in English between 2000 and September 2022 describing occupational therapy service delivery for people with chronic respiratory conditions. RESULTS Twenty-six articles met inclusion criteria including 12 cohort studies, seven randomised control trials, four qualitative, two case reports, and one service evaluation. Interventions were targeted at body functions and structures (n = 18), activities and participation (n = 17), and environmental factors (n = 14). Ten studies reported impacts of occupational therapy ranging from physiological responses through to quality of life. CONCLUSION Occupational therapy service delivery is common for this population, often occurring as part of multidisciplinary programs, and is inclusive of a range of assessments and interventions. Further details in future primary research are needed to describe the mode and unique occupational nature of service delivery.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality that is both preventable and treatable. However, a major challenge in recognizing, preventing, and treating COPD is understanding its complexity. While COPD has historically been characterized as a disease defined by airflow limitation, we now understand it as a multi-component disease with many clinical phenotypes, systemic manifestations, and associated co-morbidities. Evidence is rapidly emerging in our understanding of the many factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD and the identification of "early" or "pre-COPD" which should provide exciting opportunities for early treatment and disease modification. In addition to breakthroughs in our understanding of the origins of COPD, we are optimizing treatment strategies and delivery of care that are showing impressive benefits in patient-centered outcomes and healthcare utilization. This special issue of Respiratory Medicine, "COPD: Providing the Right Treatment for the Right Patient at the Right Time" is a summary of the proceedings of a conference held in Stresa, Italy in April 2022 that brought together international experts to discuss emerging evidence in COPD and Pulmonary Rehabilitation in honor of a distinguished friend and colleague, Claudio Ferdinando Donor (1948-2021). Claudio was a true pioneer in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation and the comprehensive care of individuals with COPD. He held numerous leadership roles in in the field, provide editorial stewardship of several respiratory journals, authored numerous papers, statement and guidelines in COPD and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and provided mentorship to many in our field. Claudio's most impressive talent was his ability to organize spectacular conferences and symposia that highlighted cutting edge science and clinical medicine. It is in this spirit that this conference was conceived and planned. These proceedings are divided into 4 sections which highlight crucial areas in the field of COPD: (1) New concepts in COPD pathogenesis; (2) Enhancing outcomes in COPD; (3) Non-pharmacologic management of COPD; and (4) Optimizing delivery of care for COPD. These presentations summarize the newest evidence in the field and capture lively discussion on the exciting future of treating this prevalent and impactful disease. We thank each of the authors for their participation and applaud their efforts toward pushing the envelope in our understanding of COPD and optimizing care for these patients. We believe that this edition is a most fitting tribute to a dear colleague and friend and will prove useful to students, clinicians, and researchers as they continually strive to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. It has been our pleasure and a distinct honor to serve as editors and oversee such wonderful scholarly work.

Abstract
It is unclear whether young adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at an increased risk of rapid lung function decline. A total of 2,934 Korean adults aged 40-49 years who had consecutive lung function measurements were included. COPD was defined as pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity < lower limit of normal. The risk of rapid decline in FEV1, defined as ≥ 60 mL/year, was assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. In the multivariable model, a significantly higher risk of rapid decline in FEV1 was observed for the COPD group compared with the non-COPD group (adjusted odds ratio, 1.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-2.95), which was especially significant in subjects with FEV1 less than the median value (< 110%pred) (Pinteraction = 0.017) and inactive physical activity (Pinteraction = 0.039). In conclusion, the risk of rapid FEV1 decline was higher in young adults with COPD than in those without COPD, especially in those with FEV1 less than the median value and inactive physical activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although exercise and daily physical activity (PA) have long been known to benefit patients with chronic disorders, knowledge is limited regarding asthma. OBJECTIVE: In a Danish setting, our aim was to measure physical activity, sedentary behavior, and physical capacity among patients with asthma. We hypothesized that people with severe asthma would be less active and more sedentary than their mild-moderate counterparts. METHODS: Adults with asthma were recruited through respiratory outpatient clinics and subsequently examined twice, 4 weeks apart. At each visit, participants underwent a series of lung function tests, questionnaires, and maximum oxygen uptake testing (VO2max). Between the visits, participants wore an accelerometer continuously for 4 weeks, measuring sedentary time and daily steps. Sixty patients, 27 with mild-moderate asthma (GINA 1–3) and 33 with severe asthma (GINA 4–5), completed both visits and had valid accelerometer measurements. RESULTS: No significant differences between the two groups were found in sedentary time, number of steps or VO2max. VO2max was significantly correlated with FeNO (r = −0.30, p < 0.05), Short Form-12 Mental Health (r = 0.37, p < 0.05), Asthma Control Questionnaire (r = −0.35, p < 0.05), and Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (r = 0.36, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: No differences were observed between patients with mild-moderate and severe asthma regarding sedentary behavior, daily steps or level of cardiopulmonary fitness. Furthermore, patients with the highest VO2max had the higher quality of life scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The order and extent of interactions across the factors affecting exertional dyspnoea (ED) and exercise intolerance (EI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not clear. We hypothesized that lung and non-lung variables were the primary variables, ED was the secondary variable and EI was the tertiary variable. METHODS Data on demographics, blood tests, cardiac imaging, lung function tests and invasive dead space fractions (VD/VT) during incremental exercise test of 46 male COPD subjects were obtained. These variables were categorized by factor analysis and pair-wise correlation analysis was conducted. The best factor of each category was selected and then multivariate regression was conducted. RESULTS Peak tidal inspiratory flow (VT/TIpeak), VD/VTpeak and tidal lung expansion capability, and resting diffusing capacity of the lungs (DLCO)% predicted were the primary pulmonary factors most related to ED, whereas body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin and cholesterol levels were the primary non-pulmonary factors. In multivariate regression analysis, VT/TIpeak, VD/VTpeak and DLCO% were the primary factors most related to ED (r2 = 0.69); ED was most related to EI (r = -0.74 to -0.83). CONCLUSION Using hierarchical stratification and statistical methods may improve understanding of the pathophysiology of ED and EI in patients with COPD. KEY MESSAGESThe pathophysiology of exertional dyspnoea (ED) and exercise intolerance (EI) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is complex. The order and extent of interactions across factors are not clear. In multivariate regression analysis, we found that tidal inspiratory flow, dead space fraction and resting diffusing capacity of the lungs % but not the non-pulmonary factors affected ED.Using correlation coefficients, we further found that ED was the secondary variable and EI was the tertiary variable.Hierarchical stratification of the important factors associated with ED and EI in patients with COPD clarifies their relationships and could be incorporated into management programmes and outcome studies for these patients.

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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a burdensome condition affecting a growing number of people worldwide, frequently related to major comorbidities and functional impairment. In these patients, several factors might have a role in promoting both bone and muscle loss, including systemic inflammation, corticosteroid therapies, sedentary behaviours, deconditioning, malnutrition, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. On the other hand, bone and muscle tissues share several linkages from functional, embryological, and biochemical points of view. Osteosarcopenia has been recently defined by the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, but the precise mechanisms underpinning osteosarcopenia in patients with COPD are still unknown. In this scenario, a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of osteosarcopenia might guide clinicians in a personalized approach integrating skeletal muscle health with the pulmonary rehabilitation framework in COPD. Taken together, our results summarized the currently available evidence about the multilevel interactions between osteosarcopenia and COPD to pave the way for a comprehensive approach targeting the most common risk factors of these pathological conditions. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of modern clinical strategies and telemedicine solutions to optimize healthcare delivery in patients with COPD, including osteopenia, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia screening in these subjects.

Abstract
During pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), patients receive individually tailored walking exercise training. The personalised nature of exercise prescription is a fundamental component of PR. Despite this, the measurement of physical activity (PA) has been limited to a 'one size fits all' approach and can be challenging to translate into clinically meaningful or real-world units, such as cadence. This discrepancy may partly explain the inconsistent evidence for the impact of PR on PA. It may also provide an opportunity to standardise PA assessment in the context of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and PR, where field-based walking tests are routine measures. This technical note provides an example of how to develop personalised PA intensity thresholds, calibrated against an individual's performance on the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT; maximal) and Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT; sub-maximal). These are externally paced tests, with each level (speed) of the tests denoting a specific speed (intensity); ranging 1.8 km/h (ISWT Level 1) to 8.5 km/h (ISWT Level 12). From the ESWT, it becomes possible to evaluate adherence to each individual's walking exercise prescription. Future research should explore this approach and its responsiveness to PR. It may be possible to extend this methodology with the inclusion of physiological parameters (e.g., heart rate, calorimetry, and oxygen consumption) to derive relative intensity markers (e.g. moderate-to-vigorous), accounting for individual differences in exercise capacity, under the same paradigm as PR exercise prescription.

Machine Learning-Based 30-Day Hospital Readmission Predictions for COPD Patients Using Physical Activity Data of Daily Living with Accelerometer-Based Device. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12080605.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significantly concerning disease, and is ranked highest in terms of 30-day hospital readmission. Generally, physical activity (PA) of daily living reflects the health status and is proposed as a strong indicator of 30-day hospital readmission for patients with COPD. This study attempted to predict 30-day hospital readmission by analyzing continuous PA data using machine learning (ML) methods. Data were collected from 16 patients with COPD over 3877 days, and clinical information extracted from the patients’ hospital records. Activity-based parameters were conceptualized and evaluated, and ML models were trained and validated to retrospectively analyze the PA data, identify the nonlinear classification characteristics of different risk factors, and predict hospital readmissions. Overall, this study predicted 30-day hospital readmission and prediction performance is summarized as two distinct approaches: prediction-based performance and event-based performance. In a prediction-based performance analysis, readmissions predicted with 70.35% accuracy; and in an event-based performance analysis, the total 30-day readmissions were predicted with a precision of 72.73%. PA data reflect the health status; thus, PA data can be used to predict hospital readmissions. Predicting readmissions will improve patient care, reduce the burden of medical costs burden, and can assist in staging suitable interventions, such as promoting PA, alternate treatment plans, or changes in lifestyle to prevent readmissions.

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.

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.

Dong C, Li Y. Exercise Rehabilitation Training in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension: A Review. Heart Lung Circ 2022; 31:1341-1348. [PMID: 35840511 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.06.660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has a high morbidity and mortality. Despite the existing disease-targeted therapy, most patients with PH continue to suffer from difficulty in breathing, exercise intolerance, and reduced quality of life. Recently, a large body of research results has suggested that exercise rehabilitation training (ERT) seems to be a beneficial, safe, and cost-effective treatment for patients with PH. However, knowledge gaps still exist for a uniformly accepted ERT protocol, the modality, duration, intensity, and frequency of ERT in PH. The purpose of this review is to summarise the existing research evidence and knowledge, aiming to strengthen clinicians' awareness of the application of ERT in patients with PH. PubMed databases were systematically searched for eligible studies. Twelve (12) randomised controlled trials and other important studies documenting effectiveness, safety, and adverse events of ERT are summarised. Additionally, the modality, duration, intensity, and frequency of various types of ERT and future research directions are discussed. In summary, ERT is generally effective and safe for PH patients as an adjuvant treatment to disease-specific therapy. It can improve the exercise capacity and tolerance, skeletal and respiratory muscle performance, cardiopulmonary function, and quality of life of PH patients. In view of the occurrence of a small number of adverse events, we currently recommend a combination of in-hospital and home-based ERT under close supervision. In the future, more multi-centre randomised controlled studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of long-term, community, or home-based ERT, as well as to explore the molecular mechanism behind it.

Abstract
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States (US) providing healthcare to an increasing number of middle-aged and older adults who remain at greater risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared to their civilian counterparts. The VHA has obligated research funds, drafted clinical guidelines, and built programmatic infrastructure to support the diagnosis, treatment, and care management of Veterans with COPD. Despite these efforts, COPD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Veterans. This paper provides a narrative review of research conducted with US Veteran samples targeting improvement in COPD outcomes. We review key physiological, physical, and psychological health outcomes and intervention research that included US Veteran samples. We conclude with a discussion of directions for future research to continue advancing the treatment of COPD in Veterans and inform advancements in COPD research within and outside the VHA.

[PMID: 35026297 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.12.657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical capacity (PC; "can do") and physical activity (PA; "do do") are prognostic indicators in COPD and can be used to subdivide patients with COPD into four exclusive subgroups (the so-called "can do, do do" quadrants). This concept may be useful to understand better the impact of PC and PA on all-cause mortality in patients with COPD. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the 6-year all-cause mortality risk of the "can do, do do" quadrants of patients with COPD? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective study used data from patients with COPD who underwent a comprehensive assessment at their first-ever outpatient consultation. PC was assessed using the 6-min walk distance and physical activity was assessed using an accelerometer (steps per day). All-cause mortality data were obtained from the Municipal Personal Records Database. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine threshold values for PC and PA to predict 6-year all-cause mortality. Using the derived threshold values, male and female patients were divided into the four "can do, do do" quadrants. RESULTS Data from 829 patients were used for analyses. Best discriminatory values for 6-year mortality were 404 m and 4,125 steps/day for men and 394 m and 4,005 steps/day for women. During a median follow-up of 55 months (interquartile range, 37-71 months), 129 patients (15.6%) died. After controlling for established prognostic factors, patients in the "can do, don't do" quadrant and "can do, do do" quadrant showed significantly lower mortality risk compared with patients in the "can't do, don't do" quadrant: hazard ratios of 0.36 (95% CI, 0.14-0.93) and 0.24 (95% CI, 0.09-0.61) for men and 0.37 (95% CI, 0.38-0.99) and 0.29 (95% CI, 0.10-0.87) for women, respectively. No significant differences were found between the "can't do, do do" and "can't do, don't do" quadrants. INTERPRETATION Patients with COPD with a preserved PC seem to have a significantly lower 6-year mortality risk compared with patients with a decreased PC, regardless of physical activity level.

Monthly Follow-Ups of Functional Status in People with COPD: A Longitudinal Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11113052. [PMID: 35683440 PMCID: PMC9181503 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11113052] [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: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Functional status is an important and meaningful outcome in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although its measurement is not embedded in routine clinical assessments. This study described the functional status of people with COPD using the 1-min sit-to-stand test (1minSTS) over a 6-month period and the examined sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with this outcome. Data from a prospective study including people with COPD were analyzed. Functional status was assessed monthly with the 1minSTS over 6 months. Linear-mixed effect models assessed the 1minSTS number of repetitions mean change. One-hundred and eight participants (82.4% men; 66.9 ± 9.5 years) were included. A significantly lower number of repetitions in the 1minSTS over the 6-month period was associated with being female (estimate: −4.69, 95%CI: −8.20; −1.18), being older (estimate: −0.56, 95%CI: −0.77; −0.34), having higher BMI (estimate: −0.55, 95%CI: −0.81; −0.28) and having higher activity-related dyspnea (estimate: −2.04, 95%CI: −3.25; −0.83). Half of the participants showed improvements above three repetitions in the 1minSTS over the 6-month period, independently of their baseline impairment (1minSTS < 70% predicted: 52.5%; ≥70% predicted: 54.4%). To conclude, monthly follow-up assessments were associated with clinically relevant benefits in the functional status of people with COPD. Age, body composition, and activity-related dyspnea were the main predictors of functional status over time. Further research is needed to corroborate our findings and to support the beneficial effects of regular COPD monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE Physical activity (PA) predicts important health outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the general population, environmental factors have the potential to influence PA; however, data are limited in this clinical population. Therefore, we sought to investigate associations between the environment and PA, sedentary behavior, and self-rated health in COPD. METHODS Sociodemographic, PA, sedentary behavior, and self-rated health data were collected from a prospective cohort of 418 individuals with COPD (65% female; 58 ± 8 yr), while environmental data were drawn from a national environmental data repository and individually matched to participant postal code. Environmental variables included social and material deprivation, urban form index, surrounding greenness, and air quality (concentrations of air pollution for fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and sulphur dioxide). Logistic and multivariate linear regression models were used to investigate the strongest environmental predictors. RESULTS The models showed a statistically significant negative correlation between PA level and ozone pollution (P = .023; adjusted OR = 0.85: 95% CI, 0.74-0.98). Urban form index was also significantly associated with sedentary behavior (β = 0.113; t value = 1.71; P = .011). Self-rated health was significantly positively correlated with PA level (P = .006; adjusted OR = 2.22: 95% CI, 1.25-3.94), and significantly inversely correlated with sedentary behavior (β = -0.159; t value =-2.42; P = .016). CONCLUSION These new data may identify barriers to PA and assist clinicians in the prescription of exercise for individuals living with COPD.

Abstract
Asthma is a complex and heterogenous disease characterized by variability in disease expression and severity. Multiple extrapulmonary comorbidities and treatable traits are common in people with asthma, and there is an increasing appreciation of how these may complicate asthma management. This review will discuss the prevalence and impact of extrapulmonary comorbidities/risk factors or "traits," which have been found to co-exist in asthma (obesity, symptoms of depression and/or anxiety and physical inactivity), the impact these traits have on future outcomes (including exacerbation risk and quality of life) and asthma management, and how we should target treatment in asthma when these extrapulmonary traits are present.

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.
