Judith Garcia-Aymerich,Eduard Monsó,R M Marrades,Joan Escarrabill,M A Félez,Jordi Sunyer,Josep M. Antó +6 more
TL;DR: Among a wide range of potential risk factors, it is found that only previous admissions, lower FEV(1), and underprescription of LTOT are independently associated with a higher risk of admission for a COPD exacerbation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Home hospitalisation of exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
Carme Hernandez,Alejandro Casas,Joan Escarrabill,Jordi Alonso,Jaume Puig-Junoy,Eva Farrero,Gemma Vilagut,B. Collvinent,R Rodriguez-Roisin,Josep Roca +9 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive home care intervention in selected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations appears as cost effective because the home hospitalisation intervention generates better outcomes at lower costs than conventional care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and its determinants in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Judith Garcia-Aymerich,M A Félez,Joan Escarrabill,R M Marrades,Josep Morera,Roberto Elosua,Josep M. Antó +6 more
TL;DR: One third of severe COPD patients in this study reported a level of physical activity lower than the equivalent to walking less than 15 min x d(-1), and apart from sociodemographic variables, comorbidity, health-related quality of life, and long-term oxygen therapy were the only factors independently associated with a low level ofPhysical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With Home Mechanical Ventilation: The Impact of Systematic Respiratory Assessment and Bulbar Involvement
Eva Farrero,Enric Prats,Mònica Povedano,J. Antonio Martinez-Matos,F. Manresa,Joan Escarrabill +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of early respiratory evaluation of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) indications for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on the survival of patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV) was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of a Hospital-Based Home-Care Program on the Management of COPD Patients Receiving Long-term Oxygen Therapy
TL;DR: Hospital-based home care is an effective alternative to hospital admission, it reduces the use of hospital resources and the cost of health care, and survival between the two groups.
