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.

Association between peripheral muscle strength and daily physical activity in patients with COPD: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A systematic review and a meta-analysis were conducted to determine the potential relationship between quadriceps strength and the level of physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Determinants of annual change in physical activity in COPD

TL;DR: Daily physical activity is reduced in patients with COPD and previous cross‐sectional analyses indicate various predictors for a low level of PA including airway obstruction, exacerbations and co‐morbidities.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated index combined by dynamic hyperinflation and exercise capacity in the prediction of morbidity and mortality in COPD.

TL;DR: DH and exercise capacity are reliable and independent predictors for mortality and morbidity in COPD patients and are proposed to be considered in the assessment of long-term clinical consequences of COPd patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating adiponectin levels are paradoxically associated with mortality rate. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The results strongly points to a paradoxical association between high adiponectin levels and increased mortality rate, which is partly modulated by natriuretic peptides.

Telemonitoring of home exercise cycle training in patients with COPD

TL;DR: Telemonitoring is a simple method to enhance home exercise training and physical activity, improving health-related quality of life andPhysical activity in stable COPD 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.
