入选标准

  • Category A - Inclusion criteria of participating pulmonary rehabilitation sites:
  • 1. > 200 pulmonary rehabilitation referrals per year to allow for at least 35 (17.5%) participants to be recruited over six months.
  • 2. Conduct routine baseline and final pulmonary rehabilitation session data including uptake and completion rates, quality of life assessment (COPD Assessment Test-CAT or Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire -CRQ-SAS), exercise tests (Six Minute Walking Distance - 6MWD or Intermittent Shuttle Walk Test - ISWT), and well-being assessment (General Anxiety Disorder Assessment 7 – GAD7) and (Patient Health Questionnaire 9 -PHQ9 or Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale HADS).
  • 3. Completion rate < = 55% determined by count based on appropriate referrals received. Referrals of non-COPD chest problems and patients with significant other disabilities that prevent participation should not be included in the completion rate denominator. The decision to limit inclusion to sites with a completion rate of 55% or less relates to the priority given to service inequalities and the need for the NHS to have a threshold for the introduction of the intervention. Including all sites may diminish the opportunity to show a difference in those services in greatest need.
