TLDR
In this paper, the authors determined the prognostic value of objectively measured physical activity in comparison with established predictors of mortality and evaluated the prognosis value of noninvasive assessments of cardiovascular status, biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and adipokines.

Three-year follow-up of Interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: The systemic inflammatory process, evaluated by IL-6, seems to be persistent, progressive and associated with mortality and worse physical performance in COPD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedentary Behavior Is an Independent Predictor of Mortality in Subjects With COPD

TL;DR: Sedentary behavior was an independent predictor of mortality in subjects with COPD, even adjusting for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and a number of other variables, and may open room for future studies aiming at decreasing sedentary time as a promising strategy to reduce mortality risk.

Advances in the Evaluation of Respiratory Pathophysiology during Exercise in Chronic Lung Diseases.

TL;DR: This novel approach to CPET interpretation, which includes a quantification of activity-related dyspnea and evaluation of its underlying mechanisms, enhances the ability to meaningfully intervene to improve quality of life in these pathologically-distinct conditions.

Prognostic models for outcome prediction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: systematic review and critical appraisal

TL;DR: A detailed mapping and assessment of the prognostic models for outcome prediction in COPD patients indicates several methodological pitfalls in their development and a low rate of external validation.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, prehabilitation, and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)

TL;DR: The current and future role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in the context of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs is evaluated to suggest that CPET-derived variables can be used to guide the prescription of exercise training interventions and thereby improve physical fitness in patients prior to surgery.

Lung volumes and forced ventilatory flows

TL;DR: Assessing the total lung capacity is indispensable in establishing a restrictive ventilatory defect or in diagnosing abnormal lung distensibility, as may occur in patients …

The Body-Mass Index, Airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise Capacity Index in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: The BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, is better than the FEV1 at predicting the risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes among patients with COPD.

Salmeterol and fluticasone propionate and survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: The reduction in death from all causes among patients with COPD in the combination-therapy group did not reach the predetermined level of statistical significance, and there were significant benefits in all other outcomes among these patients.
