Objective:
To determine if adding performance on the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5-STS) to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) high-risk criteria, proposed by the Spanish COPD guidelines (GesEPOC), affects mortality prognosis.
Methods:
Observational study of COPD outpatients involved prospective follow-up for 5 years. Patients we...
Antecedentes: Algunas pruebas musculoesqueléticas se han identificado como factores de mortalidad en la EPOC. Objetivos: 1) Analizar 5 pruebas musculoesqueléticas para predecir el riesgo de mortalidad en pacientes con EPOC. 2) Determinar la capacidad de la prueba de levantarse 5 veces de una silla consecutivamente en el menor tiempo posible (5-STS)...
The early identification of performance in the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5-STS) at discharge in stroke patients could be of interest because it can determine independence for community-based activities. This study aimed to determine whether the initial measurement of the 5-STS test can be a determinant of the performance level prediction a...
Antecedentes: El test de marcha de 6 minutos (6MWT) se ha identificado como un factor predictivo de exacerbaciones en la EPOC. Objetivo: Determinar si el test de levantarse 5 veces de una silla consecutivamente (5-STS) puede ser un factor predictivo de exacerbación grave al año siguiente a su aplicación. Comparar 2 modelos predictivos de exacerbaci...
Background
In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), multiple recurrent severe exacerbations that require hospitalization can occur. These events are strongly associated with death and other clinical complications.
Objectives
We aimed to develop a prognostic model that could identify patients with COPD that are at risk of multiple recurrent...
Purpose:
The BODS index has been confirmed to have predictive properties similar to the original BODE index for mortality in COPD. We evaluated the agreement between the BODS index and the BODE and explored with an updated BODS how this agreement could be improved and its ability to correctly discriminate individual participants' mortality in a pr...
Background:
Prognostic studies suggest that some musculoskeletal and functional capacity tests are independently associated with mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but comparing their prognostic value is difficult because of differences in the selected covariates for regression modelling in those studies.
Objectives:
To a...
Background
Although the six-minute-walk test (6MWT) has been used to predict chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, additional research is necessary to identify more rapid, simpler tests that are directly associated with exacerbations, such as the five-repetition sit-to-stand (5STS) test and 4-m gait speed (4MGS) test.
Aims
To...
Background:
Readmission after hospital discharge is common in patients with acute exacerbations (AE) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although frailty predicts hospital readmission in patients with chronic nonpulmonary diseases, no multidimensional frailty measures have been validated to stratify the risk for patients with COPD.
A...
Background
Hospitalization for acute exacerbations (AE) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common, but little is known about the impact of hospitalization on the development of disability. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate and time course of functional changes 3 months after hospital discharge for AE-COPD compared...
