Standardizing the Analysis of Physical Activity in Patients With COPD Following a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program

TL;DR: Changes in physical activity following pulmonary rehabilitation are best measured for 4 weekdays, including only days with at least 8 h of wearing time (during waking hours) and considering the difference in DT as a covariate in the analysis.

Body mass index and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It was showed that for patients with COPD being overweight or obese had a protective effect against mortality, however, the relationship between BMI and mortality in different classes of obesity needed further clarification in well-designed clinical studies.

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.
