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.

Study protocol for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-Sitting and ExacerbAtions Trial (COPD-SEAT): a randomised controlled feasibility trial of a home-based self-monitoring sedentary behaviour intervention.

TL;DR: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 2-week at-home intervention providing education and self-monitoring to reduce prolonged periods of SB in patients with COPD discharged following an acute exacerbation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of a new parameter in the 6-minute walk test for manifold analysis of exercise capacity in patients with COPD.

TL;DR: A novel index, the desaturation distance ratio (DDR), is applied to clinical research on COPD as an estimate of exercise capacity and to examine whether DDR is a potential parameter for manifold analysis of Exercise capacity in patients with COPD.

Physical activity monitoring: addressing the difficulties of accurately detecting slow walking speeds.

TL;DR: The SWM is able to detect slow (standardized) speeds of walking and is an acceptable method for measuring physical activity in individuals disabled by COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing patient report of function: content validity of the Functional Performance Inventory-Short Form (FPI-SF) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

TL;DR: It is suggested that the reduced, reformatted form of the Functional Performance Inventory, the FPI-SF, is content valid for use in clinical studies of COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frailty Assessment in a Stable COPD Cohort: Is There a COPD-Frail Phenotype?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the characteristics of frail patients with COPD to define a new phenotype called COPD-frail, which increases the morbidity/mortality in older adults, and several studies have shown a higher prevalence of this syndrome in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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.
