Comparison of a structured home-based rehabilitation programme with conventional supervised pulmonary rehabilitation: a randomised non-inferiority trial

TL;DR: There was inconclusive evidence that home-based PR was non-inferior to PR in dyspnoea (mean group difference, mITT: −0.24), favouring the centre group at 7 weeks, and further evidence is needed to definitively determine if the health benefits of the standardisedHome-based programme are non- inferior or equivalent to supervised centre-based rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A self-management programme for COPD: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: This brief self-management intervention did not improve dyspnoea over and above usual care at 6 months; however, there were gains in anxiety, exercise performance, and disease knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI

A qualitative study of patients’ experiences of participating in SPACE for COPD: A self-management programme of activity, coping and education

TL;DR: Participants valued SPACE for COPD but met complex barriers to independently maintain healthy behaviour long-term, and consideration of the role of carers and partners may help to improve adherence to self-management programmes once healthcare professional support has stopped.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the measurement properties of the incremental shuttle walk test in patients with severe asthma.

TL;DR: The repeatability and validity of the incremental shuttle walk test distance compared to peak oxygen uptake during maximal incremental cycle ergometer and treadmill tests in adults with severe asthma is investigated.
