Clusters of Comorbidities Based on Validated Objective Measurements and Systemic Inflammation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Lowie E.G.W. Vanfleteren,Martijn A. Spruit,Miriam T.J. Groenen,Swetlana Gaffron,Vanessa P. M. van Empel,Piet L.B. Bruijnzeel,Erica P.A. Rutten,Jos op 't Roodt,Emiel F.M. Wouters,Frits M.E. Franssen +9 more
TL;DR: Multimorbidity is common in patients with COPD, and different comorbidite clusters can be identified, and low-grade systemic inflammation is mostly comparable among comor bidities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of underdiagnosis of COPD in national and international surveys
Bernd Lamprecht,Joan B. Soriano,Michael Studnicka,Bernhard Kaiser,Lowie E.G.W. Vanfleteren,Louisa Gnatiuc,Peter Burney,Marc Miravitlles,Francisco García-Río,Kaveh Akbari,Julio Ancochea,Ana Maria Menezes,Rogelio Pérez-Padilla,Maria Montes de Oca,Carlos A. Torres-Duque,Andres Caballero,Mauricio González-García,Sonia Buist +17 more
TL;DR: Even with substantial heterogeneity in COPD prevalence, COPD underdiagnosis is universally high and effective management strategies are available for COPD, so spirometry can help in the diagnosis of COPD at a stage when treatment will lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential response to pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD: multidimensional profiling.
Martijn A. Spruit,Ingrid M. L. Augustin,Lowie E.G.W. Vanfleteren,Daisy J.A. Janssen,Swetlana Gaffron,Herman-Jan Pennings,Frank W.J.M. Smeenk,Willem Pieters,Jan J.A.M. van den Bergh,Arent-Jan Michels,Miriam T.J. Groenen,Erica P.A. Rutten,Emiel F.M. Wouters,Frits M.E. Franssen +13 more
TL;DR: A multidimensional response outcome needs to be considered to study the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation services in patients with COPD, as responses to regular outcomes are differential within patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease beyond the lungs
TL;DR: The management of COPD beyond the respiratory system is discussed and treatment strategies on the basis of the latest research and best practices are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responsiveness and MCID Estimates for CAT, CCQ, and HADS in Patients With COPD Undergoing Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Prospective Analysis
Dionne E. Smid,Frits M.E. Franssen,Sarah Houben-Wilke,Lowie E.G.W. Vanfleteren,Daisy J.A. Janssen,Emiel F.M. Wouters,Martijn A. Spruit +6 more
TL;DR: The SGRQ, CAT, CCQ, and HADS are responsive to pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD, and new MCIDs are proposed ranging between -3.0 and -2.0 points for CAT; -0.8 to -1.5 points for HADS-Depression.
