The Association of Pain with Incident Falls in People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6236. [PMID: 37444084 PMCID: PMC10341239 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20136236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a higher prevalence of pain and a greater risk of falls than their healthy peers. As pain has been associated with an increased risk of falls in older adults, this study investigated the association between pain and falls in people with COPD compared to healthy controls. Data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing were used to establish an association between pain and falls when modelled with a generalised ordinal logistic regression and adjusted for sex, age, wealth, and education (complete case analysis only; n = 806 COPD, n = 3898 healthy controls). The odds were then converted to the predicted probabilities of falling. The predicted probability of falling for people with COPD was greater across all pain categories than for healthy controls; for COPD with (predicted probability % [95%CI]), no pain was 20% [17 to 25], with mild pain was 28% [18 to 38], with moderate pain was 28% [22 to 34] with severe pain was 39% [30 to 47] and for healthy controls with no pain was 17% [16 to 18], mild pain 22% [18 to 27], moderate pain 25% [20 to 29] and severe pain 27% [20 to 35]. The probability of falling increased across pain categories in individuals with COPD, with the most severe pain category at a nearly 40% probability of falling, indicating a potential interaction between COPD and pain.

Non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions for chronic pain in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review without meta-analysis. Respir Med 2023; 211:107191. [PMID: 36889522 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is complicated by chronic pain. People with COPD report higher pain prevalence than the general population. Despite this, chronic pain management is not reflected in current COPD clinical guidelines and pharmacological treatments are often ineffective. We conducted a systematic review that aimed to establish the efficacy of existing non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions on pain and identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) associated with effective pain management. METHODS A systematic review was conducted with reference to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA) [1], Systematic review without Meta analysis (SWIM) standards [2] and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines [3]. We searched 14 electronic databases for controlled trials of non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions where the outcome measure assessed pain or contained a pain subscale. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies were identified involving 3,228 participants. Seven interventions reported a minimally important clinical difference in pain outcomes, although only two of these reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). A third study reported statistically significant outcomes, but this was not clinically significant (p = 0.0273). Issues with intervention reporting prevented identification of active intervention ingredients (i.e., BCTs). CONCLUSIONS Pain appears to be a meaningful issue for many individuals with COPD. However, intervention heterogeneity and issues with methodological quality limit certainty about the effectiveness of currently available non-pharmacological interventions. An improvement in reporting is required to enable identification of active intervention ingredients associated with effective pain management.

Abstract
Purpose Current guidelines for prevention of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) reflect clinical understanding of the causes of exacerbations but with a limited recognition of person-specific contributing factors. As part of a randomized trial of a person-centered intervention aiming to promote self-determination, we describe personal perspectives of those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on what they saw as the causes and best ways to stay well and prevent rehospitalization after an AECOPD. Patients and Methods Twelve participants (mean age 69.3 years, six female, six male; eight New Zealand European, two Māori, one Pacific, and one other) were interviewed about their experiences of staying well and out of hospital. Data were collected via individual semi-structured interviews one year following an index hospital admission for AECOPD and focused on the participants' views and experiences of their health condition, their beliefs about staying well, and the causes of and factors preventing further exacerbations and hospitalizations. Data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory methods. Results Three main themes were identified that described participants' views on what helped or hindered them to stay well and out of hospital: 1) Being Positive: The importance of having a positive mindset; 2) Being Proactive: Practical steps to reduce the risk of, and consequences from, episodes of AECOPD; and 3) Being in Control: Feeling in command of one's life and health. Each of these was affected by Being Connected: The influence of significant others, particularly close family. Conclusion This research expands our understanding of how patients manage COPD and adds patient perspectives to current knowledge on how to prevent recurrent AECOPD. Programs which promote self-efficacy and positivity would be beneficial additions to AECOPD prevention strategies, as could the inclusion of family or significant others in wellbeing plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal pain is more common in individuals with chronic respiratory diseases than the aged-matched general population. This investigation aimed to understand the prevalence and impact of hip and knee pain on pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes and completion rates. METHODS Participants who experienced hip/knee pain in the 4 weeks prior to pulmonary rehabilitation completed an Oxford Hip and/or Knee Score alongside a routine pulmonary rehabilitation assessment. Participants engaged in a twice-weekly, 6-week outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme. A 1:1 propensity score match for age, sex, BMI, sessions attended and MRC score was completed prior to group comparison for a pulmonary rehabilitation cohort without hip/knee pain. RESULTS 6.5% (n = 97) of pulmonary rehabilitation participants reported pain: hip (n = 27), knee (n = 40) or hip and knee pain (n = 30). 75 participants with hip/knee pain provided sufficient data for pre pulmonary rehabilitation matching and were propensity matched with a pulmonary rehabilitation group without hip/knee pain. The average Oxford Score across all reported joints was 28.7 (8.5) indicating moderate/severe pain at baseline. Statistically significant improvements were made in Oxford Scores for the left hip, left knee and right knee (P < 0.01) but not the right hip following pulmonary rehabilitation. There was no statistically significant difference between groups for improvements in quadriceps strength, walking tests or depression scores, both groups achieved within group significance. There were no significant differences in pulmonary rehabilitation completion rates between groups. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of hip/knee pain in individuals presenting to pulmonary rehabilitation is 6.5%. Pain improved in the majority of joints following pulmonary rehabilitation and pain did not impact the effectiveness or completion of the programme. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was an evaluation of a clinical service and has not been registered in a public domain.

Abstract
PURPOSE To verify, through quali-quantitative analysis, the satisfaction and adherence of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to the insertion of functional circuit training into conventional training. PATIENTS AND METHODS 23 patients with COPD from a randomized clinical trial were invited to participate in a quali-quantitative analysis after the training finalization, divided into FTG (Functional Training Group) and CTG (Conventional Training Group). A total of 21 patients participated [(FTG: n=10; 65.80±7.31 years; FEV1/FVC: 56.44±12.67%) and CTG (n=11; 70.36±7.02 years; FEV1/FVC: 55.89±8.20)]. For the qualitative evaluation, focus groups were performed, using a previously developed script. Adherence was verified by the presence in the training sessions that were prescribed, and the quantitative analysis was performed using questionnaires with multiple-choice questions (evaluation of the aspects that can interfere in a training). The participants were asked to define a grade between zero and ten regarding the aspects of the training (satisfaction). RESULTS In both groups, there was similar adherence (p=0.965) and satisfaction (p=0.341). The qualitative analysis identified seven themes and 17 codes, representing factors related to satisfaction and negative aspects, as follows: factors associated with satisfaction: self-efficacy management, physical and psychosocial improvement, interpersonal relationships, and proposed exercises. Negative aspects: pains, comorbidities, beliefs, and personal demotivation. In the quantitative analysis, was verified that an increase in the symptoms, the distance between home and training center, and personal problems were not factors that interfered in the adherence of the participants (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Similar satisfaction and adherence of patients with COPD were observed in the FTG and CTG and patients from FTG reported higher fatigue.

Abstract
Purpose: This study reports on the prevalence and impact of pain in individuals with different chronic respiratory diseases attending pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Method: A retrospective review of medical records data was conducted for 488 participants who had attended a PR programme over a 2-year period. Data on pain and medication history taken from multidisciplinary medical records, together with participant demographics and PR outcomes, were extracted. We compared pain among participants with different types of chronic respiratory disease. Results: The overall prevalence of pain was 77%, with a significantly higher prevalence among individuals with obstructive lung diseases (80%) compared with restrictive lung diseases (69%; p = 0.04). Some participants (17%) who took pain medications did not discuss pain with their clinicians. The presence of pain and different reporting of pain did not have a negative impact on the PR programme completion rate (p = 0.74), improvements in exercise capacity (p = 0.51), or health-related quality of life (all four chronic respiratory disease questionnaire domains, p>0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of pain is high among individuals with chronic respiratory disease attending PR. The presence or absence of pain was not negatively associated with the programme completion rate or PR outcomes; therefore, pain should not deter clinicians from referring patients to PR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by shortness of breath, cough and recurrent exacerbations. People with COPD often live with one or more co-existing long-term health conditions (comorbidities). People with more severe COPD often have a higher number of comorbidities, putting them at greater risk of morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of any single intervention for COPD adapted or tailored to their comorbidity(s) compared to any other intervention for people with COPD and one or more common comorbidities (quantitative data, RCTs) in terms of the following outcomes: Quality of life, exacerbations, functional status, all-cause and respiratory-related hospital admissions, mortality, pain, and depression and anxiety. To assess the effectiveness of an adapted or tailored single COPD intervention (simple or complex) that is aimed at changing the management of people with COPD and one or more common comorbidities (quantitative data, RCTs) compared to usual care in terms of the following outcomes: Quality of life, exacerbations, functional status, all-cause and respiratory-related hospital admissions, mortality, pain, and depression and anxiety. To identify emerging themes that describe the views and experiences of patients, carers and healthcare professionals when receiving or providing care to manage multimorbidities (qualitative data). SEARCH METHODS We searched multiple databases including the Cochrane Airways Trials Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL, to identify relevant randomised and qualitative studies. We also searched trial registries and conducted citation searches. The latest search was conducted in January 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA Eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) compared a) any single intervention for COPD adapted or tailored to their comorbidity(s) compared to any other intervention, or b) any adapted or tailored single COPD intervention (simple or complex) that is aimed at changing the management of people with COPD and one or more comorbidities, compared to usual care. We included qualitative studies or mixed-methods studies to identify themes. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods for analysis of the RCTs. We used Cochrane's risk of bias tool for the RCTs and the CASP checklist for the qualitative studies. We planned to use the Mixed Methods Appraisal tool (MMAT) to assess the risk of bias in mixed-methods studies, but we found none. We used GRADE and CERQual to assess the quality of the quantitative and qualitative evidence respectively. The primary outcome measures for this review were quality of life and exacerbations. MAIN RESULTS Quantitative studies We included seven studies (1197 participants) in the quantitative analyses, with interventions including telemonitoring, pulmonary rehabilitation, treatment optimisation, water-based exercise training and case management. Interventions were either compared with usual care or with an active comparator (such as land-based exercise training). Duration of trials ranged from 4 to 52 weeks. Mean age of participants ranged from 64 to 72 years and COPD severity ranged from mild to very severe. Trials included either people with COPD and a specific comorbidity (including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, lung cancer, head or neck cancer, and musculoskeletal conditions), or with one or more comorbidities of any type. Overall, we judged the evidence presented to be of moderate to very low certainty (GRADE), mainly due to the methodological quality of included trials and imprecision of effect estimates. Intervention versus usual care Quality of life as measured by the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score may improve with tailored pulmonary rehabilitation compared to usual care at 52 weeks (mean difference (MD) -10.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) -12.66 to -9.04; 1 study, 70 participants; low-certainty evidence). Tailored pulmonary rehabilitation is likely to improve COPD assessment test (CAT) scores compared with usual care at 52 weeks (MD -8.02, 95% CI -9.44 to -6.60; 1 study, 70 participants, moderate-certainty evidence) and with a multicomponent telehealth intervention at 52 weeks (MD -6.90, 95% CI -9.56 to -4.24; moderate-certainty evidence). Evidence is uncertain about effects of pharmacotherapy optimisation or telemonitoring interventions on CAT improvement compared with usual care. There may be little to no difference in the number of people experiencing exacerbations, or mean exacerbations with case management compared with usual care (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.57; 1 study, 470 participants; very low-certainty evidence). For secondary outcomes, six-minute walk distance (6MWD) may improve with pulmonary rehabilitation, water-based exercise or multicomponent interventions at 38 to 52 weeks (low-certainty evidence). A multicomponent intervention may result in fewer people being admitted to hospital at 17 weeks, although there may be little to no difference in a telemonitoring intervention. There may be little to no difference between intervention and usual care for mortality. Intervention versus active comparator We included one study comparing water-based and land-based exercise (30 participants). We found no evidence for quality of life or exacerbations. There may be little to no difference between water- and land-based exercise for 6MWD (MD 5 metres, 95% CI -22 to 32; 38 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Qualitative studies One nested qualitative study (21 participants) explored perceptions and experiences of people with COPD and long-term conditions, and of researchers and health professionals who were involved in an RCT of telemonitoring equipment. Several themes were identified, including health status, beliefs and concerns, reliability of equipment, self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, factors affecting usefulness and perceived usefulness, attitudes and intention, self-management and changes in healthcare use. We judged the qualitative evidence presented as of very low certainty overall. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Owing to a paucity of eligible trials, as well as diversity in the intervention type, comorbidities and the outcome measures reported, we were unable to provide a robust synthesis of data. Pulmonary rehabilitation or multicomponent interventions may improve quality of life and functional status (6MWD), but the evidence is too limited to draw a robust conclusion. The key take-home message from this review is the lack of data from RCTs on treatments for people living with COPD and comorbidities. Given the variation in number and type of comorbidity(s) an individual may have, and severity of COPD, larger studies reporting individual patient data are required to determine these effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a common but underappreciated symptom experienced by people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The relationships between pain and physical activity (PA) and exercise capacity are poorly understood. METHODS This retrospective secondary analysis includes three cohorts of Veterans with COPD who participated in longitudinal studies evaluating PA and exercise capacity with objective measures of daily step counts and 6-min walk test (6MWT) distance, respectively. Pain was assessed using the bodily pain domain of the Veterans RAND-36. In two cohorts, participants were randomly assigned to a web-based, pedometer-mediated PA intervention which has previously been demonstrated to improve PA. RESULTS Three-hundred and seventy-three (373) unique study participants were included in this analysis. Eighty-three percent (n = 311) of the population reported at least mild pain and/or at least a little bit of interference due to pain at baseline. Cross-sectionally, greater bodily pain was associated with lower 6MWT distance (β = 0.51; 95% CI 0.20, 0.82; p = 0.0013). Longitudinally, worsening bodily pain was associated with a decline in 6MWT distance (β = 0.30; 95% CI 0.03, 0.58; p = 0.0312). There was no association between baseline bodily pain and baseline daily step counts, baseline bodily pain and change in PA, or change in bodily pain and change in PA. Compared to usual care, our PA intervention improved bodily pain scores (β = 6.17; 95% CI 1.84, 10.45; p = 0.0054). Bodily pain scores did not affect the impact of the intervention on daily step counts. CONCLUSION Pain is highly prevalent and significantly associated with lower exercise capacity among Veterans with COPD. Worsening pain co-occurred with decline in exercise capacity but not PA. Our intervention reduced pain, although pain did not affect the impact of the intervention on PA.

[PMID: 34038843 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2021.106478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment might interfere with the efficacy of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We aimed to identify differential responses to PR between cognitively impaired (CI) and cognitively normal (CN) COPD patients by assessing health status and exercise capacity. METHODS Sixty patients (FEV1: 47 ± 15%) were classified as CI or CN according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA ≤25points) and completed a 3-week inpatient PR program. Cognitive function (neuropsychological battery), health-status (36-Item Short Form Survey [SF-36]), and exercise capacity (6-min walk test [6MWT], cycle-endurance test [CET]) were assessed before and after PR. Responsiveness to PR was estimated by mean change (delta-value [Δ]) and the d-Effect Size (ES). RESULTS Twenty-five COPD patients (42%) presented evidence of mild CI prior to PR. Both, CI and CN patients significantly improved global cognitive function, health status (the majority of SF-36 components), and exercise capacity (6MWT and cycle endurance) in response to PR. Compared to CN, CI patients did not improve SF-36 subdomains of "role emotional" and "bodily pain", and demonstrated a lower magnitude of improvement in 6MWT ([Δ]: 25 m; ES: 0.21) compared to CN ([Δ]: 46 m; ES: 0.54). CONCLUSIONS PR has favorable effects on global cognitive function, health status, and exercise capacity in both CI and CN COPD patients. There was no concrete evidence to indicate interference of cognitive impairment to PR effectiveness.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex and heterogenous disease that is associated with a range of respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms, which highly contribute to the daily burden of the disease. Symptoms burden remains high despite optimal bronchodilator therapy, but pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention to improve patients' symptoms. A comprehensive interdisciplinary approach within the framework of a PR program is warranted to tackle these complex symptoms and their consequences. Areas covered: This narrative review describes how symptoms of dyspnea, fatigue, cough, sputum, anxiety, depression, pain, sleep disturbances, and cognitive decline arise in COPD and can contribute to several non-pulmonary manifestations of the disease. It also describes evidence of the effectiveness of interdisciplinary PR programs to counteract these symptoms. A literature search was performed on PubMed and Scopus between June and July 2020. Expert opinion: Respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms are highly prevalent, often not comprehensively assessed, and result in several extra-pulmonary manifestations of the disease (physical, emotional and social). Interdisciplinary PR programs can improve these negative manifestations through different pathways, contributing for an effective symptoms' management. A thorough assessment of symptoms (beyond dyspnea) should be routinely performed and may support the identification of treatable traits, allowing the tailoring of PR interventions and assessment of their real-life impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As it is less known about the prevalence and characteristics of pain in the patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), this paper aims at determining the characteristics of the pain in the patients with ILD. METHODS Subjects with ILD and health controls with the matched ages and genders completed Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and part of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Short Form to elicit the characteristics of the pain. The patients with ILD were also assessed through Pulmonary Function Test, Six Minutes Walking Test (6MWT), modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) for state of the illness and measured health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by Short Form-36 (SF-36) and psychological associations by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). RESULTS A total of 63 subjects with ILD and 63 healthy controls (HC) were recruited in our study. The prevalence of the pain was 61.9% in ILD versus 25.3% in HC (P = 0.005) and the median score of the pain rank index (PRI) in ILD was higher than that in HC (P = 0.014). Chest (46.1%) accounted for the highest of overall pain locations in subjects with ILD. Associated clinical factors for pain intensity in the patients with ILD included exposure history of risk factors of ILD, with a longer distance of 6MWD (≥ 250 m), and a higher mMRC score (2-4). The patients with ILD and pain are more likely to suffer impaired HRQoL (P = 0.0014) and psychological problems (P = 0.0017, P = 0.044). CONCLUSION The pain is common in those with ILD and the pain intensity is associated with exposure history, 6MWD, and mMRC score. The patients with ILD and pain were possibly to suffer depression, anxiety, and impaired HRQoL.

Abstract
Pain is a significant problem in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with other symptoms, worse health status and lower functional status. Not much is known about pain in unstable disease. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate prevalence, characteristics and relationships of pain in patients with COPD hospitalized for an acute exacerbation (AECOPD) and indicated for post-acute pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). This cross-sectional observational study included 149 patients (mean age 70.8 (±7.9) years, 49% male, mean forced expiratory volume in one second as percentage of predicted value 35.3 (±12.6)). Pain was assessed using the brief pain inventory. Functional status and health status were measured using the six-minute walking test (6MWT), the Barthel index (BI) and the clinical COPD questionnaire (CCQ), respectively. Pain was prevalent in 39.6% of all patients. Symptom burden was high, especially in patients with pain. Although we found no difference in objective measurements of functional status (6MWT, BI), patients with pain had clinically relevant lower health status (CCQ), attributed to the functional domain. Pain in patients hospitalized for AECOPD and indicated for post-acute PR is a relevant problem and needs more attention. Incorporation of standard pain assessment during exacerbations and post-acute PR is recommended.

Abstract
La bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO) est une maladie systémique aux multiples atteintes, émaillée d’exacerbations. L’inflammation, l’hypoxémie, les troubles de la coagulation et les perturbations des interactions coeur–poumon expliquent en partie les atteintes non pulmonaires observées notamment lors d’exacerbations aiguës. Les événements cardiovasculaires sont la première cause de mortalité des patients BPCO, et leur recrudescence est observée pendant plusieurs semaines après une exacerbation. Aux urgences, la prise en charge des patients en exacerbation de BPCO repose donc en plus du support ventilatoire sur une bonne évaluation des potentielles pathologies associées telles que l’insuffisance cardiaque, l’ischémie myocardique, l’insuffisance rénale ou encore la maladie thromboembolique. Cette évaluation globale permet d’adapter les thérapeutiques parfois délétères sur la fonction cardiaque ou l’équilibre acide−base et de prendre en compte le risque extrapulmonaire dans le choix du parcours de soins du patient. Dans cette mise au point, nous abordons quelques explications physiologiques des multiples perturbations observées au cours de l’exacerbation de BPCO, et proposons une vision globale de l’évaluation de ces patients admis pour une dyspnée ou un autre motif pouvant être en rapport avec la BPCO.

Abstract
Chronic pain affects up to 88% of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has been associated with comorbidities. However, with pain not evaluated during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) assessments, it is unclear whether PR impacts pain intensity and coping ability. This study aimed to 1) determine the effect of PR on pain qualities, coping behavior and psychological symptoms in those with COPD and chronic pain; and 2) assess the impact of PR on exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with COPD and chronic pain compared to those without pain. Patients with COPD and comorbidities enrolling in outpatient PR were assessed for chronic pain. Those with chronic pain completed the Brief Pain Inventory, Coping Strategies Questionnaire-24, Fear Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire and measures of anxiety and depression. Changes in HRQOL and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) following PR were compared between participants with and without chronic pain. Thirty-four participants with chronic pain and 34 participants without pain were included (mean ± SD, FEV1 47 ± 19% predicted). In those with chronic pain, PR did not affect pain intensity (median[IQR] pre/post PR 3[2-5] vs. 4[2-6] points, p = 0.21), anxiety (7[2-9] vs. 5[3-8] points, p = 0.82) or depression (4[2-8] vs. 3[1-6] points, p = 0.38) and did not change pain coping strategies. Both groups improved in 6MWD (mean difference [95% CI] 17[-39 to 72] m), and those without pain had greater improvement in mastery (p = 0.013). PR was effective in patients with moderate to severe COPD whether or not they reported chronic pain at the time of their initial assessment.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to: (1) study the prevalence of pain in patients with mild-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China; (2) compare the differences in pain characteristics between stable COPD and acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD); (3) explore the clinical associations with pain in those with COPD. This cross-sectional study was conducted in China from October 24, 2017, to January 11, 2019. A face-to-face interview was conducted to collect data. The Chinese version of the brief pain inventory (BPI-C) was applied to investigate the pain characteristics in patients with COPD. Of the 901 patients in this study, 226 (25.1%) patients reported pain problems. The prevalence of pain in patients with mild to very severe COPD was 32.9%, 23.9%, 25.2%, and 23.5%, respectively (p = 0.447). According to the BPI-C results, 31.3% (31/99) of patients reported pain of AECOPD, compared to 24.3% (195/802) of stable COPD (p = 0.13). Reported pain intensity and pain interference evaluated by the BPI-C were significantly higher in AECOPD than stable COPD (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, respectively). Those with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24kg/m2 or COPD assessment test (CAT) score > 20 were significantly more likely to have pain problems than BMI < 24kg/m2 (aOR = 1.568, a95IC = 1.132-2.170, p = 0.007) or CAT ≤ 20 (aOR= 1.754, a95IC = 1.213-2.536, p = 0.003). Pain was common in patients with both stable COPD and AECOPD. AECOPD patients had a significantly higher pain intensity than stable COPD. Overweight and CAT > 20 were significantly related to higher prevalence of pain.

Abstract
Background and objective Pain, a symptom often present in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), alters quality of life. COPD exacerbation augments several mechanisms that may cause pain (dyspnea, hyperinflation and inflammation) and therefore we hypothesized that pain might be increased during exacerbation. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in patients admitted for acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) in two emergency departments in France and Canada. Patients with cancer-related pain or recent trauma were not included. The Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) scale were used to evaluate pain intensity and location. Patients also completed the Borg Dyspnea Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The questionnaires were completed again during an outpatient assessment in the stable phase. The primary outcome was difference in pain intensity (SF-MPQ) between the exacerbation and stable phases. Results Fifty patients were included. During exacerbation, 46 patients (92%) reported pain compared to 29 (58%) in the stable phase (p<0.001). Pain intensity was higher during exacerbation (SF-MPQ 29.7 [13.6–38.2] vs. 1.4 [0.0–11.2]; p<0.001). Pain was predominantly located in the chest during exacerbation and in the limbs during the stable phase. Pain intensity during exacerbation correlated with anxiety score. Conclusion The frequency and intensity of pain were higher during AECOPD, with a specific distribution. Pain should therefore be routinely assessed and treated in patients with AECOPD.

Abstract
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and more common in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than people of similar age/sex in the general population. This systematic review aimed to describe how frequently and in which contexts pain is considered in the clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the broad management of COPD. Databases (Medline, Scopus, CiNAHL, EMbase, and clinical guideline) and websites were searched to identify current versions of COPD CPGs published in any language since 2006. Data on the frequency, context, and specific recommendations or strategies for the assessment or management of pain were extracted, collated, and reported descriptively. Of the 41 CPGs (English n = 20) reviewed, 16 (39%) did not mention pain. Within the remaining 25 CPGs, pain was mentioned 67 times (ranging from 1 to 10 mentions in a single CPG). The most frequent contexts for mentioning pain were as a potential side effect of specific pharmacotherapies (22 mentions in 13 CPGs), as part of differential diagnosis (14 mentions in 10 CPGs), and end of life or palliative care management (7 mentions in 6 CPGs). In people with COPD, chronic pain is common; adversely impacts quality of life, mood, breathlessness, and participation in activities of daily living; and warrants consideration within CPGs for COPD.

Abstract
Introduction: Pulmonary rehabilitation implies a comprehensive assessment. Although several outcomes are commonly measured, those are selected mainly by health professionals and researchers, with the voice of patients and informal caregivers being minimally captured. Qualitative studies are fundamental to enhance our knowledge on perspectives of different stakeholders involved in pulmonary rehabilitation. Objective: This study aimed to explore the views of different stakeholders on outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation, contributing to one of the stages of a core outcome set for pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 patients with COPD, 11 informal carers and 10 health professionals. Data were analysed with content analysis, followed by thematic analysis to gain deeper understanding of the different perspectives. Results: A total of 44 outcomes were identified, being the most reported ‘improving functional performance’ (67%) and ‘reducing and taking control over dyspnoea’ (64%). Five relevant themes across stakeholders were generated: having a healthy mind in a healthy body; I can(’t) do it; feeling fulfilled; knowing more, doing better and avoiding doctors and expenses. Although perspectives were mostly consensual, some outcomes were only valued by health professionals (e.g. pulmonary function) or by patients and informal carers (e.g. quality of sleep). Conclusion: Views of the different stakeholders on outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation were similar although, some specificities existed. Comprehensive assessments are needed to reflect what is valued by the different stakeholders in pulmonary rehabilitation. This study contributed to a future core outcome set in this field.
