Objectives To explore the influence of obesity on outcomes of exercise capacity and disease impact in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in response to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and to compare outcomes to those of normal weight and overweight counterparts. Design Secondary data analysis of clinical database. Setting St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. Participants 155 participants with a primary diagnosis of COPD who completed a PR programme between 2012 and 2014. Main Outcome Measures Exercise capacity evaluated using the Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) evaluated disease impact. Results Walking distance in the 6MWT improved significantly [mean difference of 55 m (95% CI: 42 to 68; p Conclusion Exercise capacity and self-report disease impact of individuals with COPD improved similarly in response to PR irrespective of BMI. |
