简要总结
The mortality rate and quality of life is effected in patients with pneumonia, especially in the older population.
The end point of this study is to improve quality of life by and interventional exercise and education. Patients will be randomized at admission and enrolled into the study. They will be assessed with various performance and quality of life indicators before, during and after the study, and exercise tolerance will be assessed throughout and after.
详细描述
The purpose of this research study is to assess improvement in functional status and quality of life of patients 40 years of age and older patients hospitalized for community acquired pneumonia and healthcare associated pneumonia with a multi-disciplinary program of exercise, education and psychological support. This study will use a randomized, controlled clinical trial design. The total number of patients enrolled will be 120, divided into two groups of 60 patients each. One group will have patients age 40 to 60 and second group will have patients age 60 and above. Stratified randomization will be done to divide these into two (control group and intervention group) equal groups with 30 patients each. The primary endpoint is improvement in quality of life indices. Secondary endpoints are improvement in functional status, change in 6 minute walk test, exercise intolerance, immunization, occult desaturation and change in body weight of patients hospitalized for community acquired pneumonia with a multi-disciplinary program of exercise, education and, psychological support. Eligibility includes age 40 and above at the time of admission, diagnosis of CAP and HCAP via radiographic and PNA symptoms, discharge to home, ability to read and sign informed consent to participate, ability to perform procedures/exercises involved in the study and ability to comprehend educational component of program.
