TL;DR: For all three survival analyses, the post-OPR 12-MW was the most significant variable related to prognosis: patients with low timed walking distance had increased mortality both from respiratory and nonrespiratory causes.

TL;DR: A case is presented that depicts how two COPD-specific functional status questionnaires may be used to evaluate improvement with intervention in a patient with COPD.

TL;DR: Results point to significant improvements in both exertional and clinically assessed dyspnea following OPR, which was apparent by the second minute of exercise.

TL;DR: Only a portion of the initial improvement in exercise endurance and QOL is lost at follow-up months later, and Post-OPR EM did not appear to provide measurable long-term advantages.
