• Interventions: Other: Rehabilitation program

• Registration Number: NCT04009538
• Lead Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University

Brief Summary

Patients with COPD who participated in the second rehabilitation program in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation unit will be included in the study. Pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases, mMRC dyspnea perception, 6-minute walking distance, disease-specific (SGRQ) quality of life and hospital anxiety depression scale values will be compared.

Detailed Description

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program in patients with COPD reduces dyspnea perception, increases exercise capacity, improves quality of life, and reduces psychological symptoms. Unfortunately, these gains are not permanent, but disappear within 12-24 months. The aim of this study is to compare the gains of the second PR program with the first program.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
COPD patients participated PR program	Rehabilitation program	COPD patients participated first and second PR program

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Exercise Capacity	6 minutes	Six minutes walk test

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Respiratory Functions	30 minutes	Pulmonary Function Test
Dyspnea Sensation	5 minutes	We used "Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC)" dyspnea scale, which consists of 5 items ranging between 1 and 5, to determine the severity of patients' shortness of breath. The score "1" represents the best level, where the score "5" indicates the poorest.
Disease Specific Quality of Life	20 minutes	We used St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) to determine disease-specific quality of life. At this scale, high scores define worsened disease and increased symptoms.
Anxiety and Depression	20 minutes	Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Inventory was used for assessment of anxiety and depression. In this scale; scores of anxiety and depression are calculated separately. The maximum score for both is 21 and high scores correspond to high degree anxiety and depression. Cut-off scores for anxiety and depression were determined as 10/11 and 7/8 respectively.
