Resumo É clinicamente relevante identificar fatores preditores de mortalidade isolados ou multidimensionais em pacientes com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC). O objetivo desse esuto foi comparar diferentes fatores na identificação de pacientes classificados em alto risco de morte e identificar o valor prognóstico de fatores isolados frente ao índice BODE. Foram avaliados pacientes quanto a fatores associado a mortalidade: função pulmonar com a medida do volume expiratório forçado (VEF1); índice de massa corpórea (IMC); índice de massa magra corporal (IMMC); Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) com a estimativa do consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx); teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6min); escala Medical Research Council; índice BODE e tempo sedentário. Pontos de corte previamente associados com mortalidade foram utilizados para calcular a proporção de pacientes em alto risco. Análise de curva ROC foi utilizada para testar o valor prognóstico das variáveis isoladas frente ao BODE. Foram incluídos 162 pacientes (86 homens, idade 67±8 anos). As proporções de pacientes classificados em alto risco variaram de 12,6% até 76,5% de acordo com os oito fatores analisados (P<0,05 vs todos). A área sob a curva (AUC) desses fatores testados isoladamente frente ao índice BODE indicou insatisfatória capacidade discriminativa (0,26 < AUC < 0,44). Existe uma variabilidade expressiva na proporção dos pacientes classificados como “alto risco” de acordo com cada fator preditor de mortalidade. Além disso, a avaliação prognóstica do paciente obtida com o índice BODE não pode ser substituída pela avaliação de um único fator preditor. Palavras-chave: Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica.

To compare different factors in the identification of patients classified as high risk of death and to identify the prognostic value of isolated factors against the BODE index. Patients were evaluated considering the factors associated with mortality: pulmonary function with forced expiratory volume (FEV1); body mass index (BMI); body mass index (LMWI); Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) with estimation of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max); six-minute walk test (6MWT); Medical Research Council scale; BODE index and sedentary time. Cut-off points previously associated with risk of death were used to calculate the proportion of patients at high risk of death. ROC curve analysis was used to test the prognostic value of each variable against the BODE index. A total of 162 patients (86 men, age 67 ± 8 years) were included. The proportions of patients classified as high risk ranged from 12.6 to 76.5% according to all eight factors analyzed (P <0.05 vs all). The area under the curve (AUC) of each factor analyzed against the BODE index indicated insufficient discriminative capacity (0.26 < AUC < 0.44). Conclusion: There is an expressive variability of patients classified as "high risk" according to each predictor factor. Moreover, the prognostic evaluation of the patient using the BODE index cannot be replaced by the assessment of a single predictive factor. Keywords: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Mortality, Exercise.

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar se há relação entre o impacto da Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) no estado de saúde com o nível de dispneia nas atividades de vida diária (AVD) e o índice preditor de mortalidade em pacientes em reabilitação pulmonar (RP). Trata-se de um estudo transversal, em que foram avaliados 32 pacientes com DPOC moderada a muito grave (23 homens; 66,6±12,0 anos; VEF1: 40,6±15,6% previsto) por meio do COPD Assessment Test (CAT), Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), Teste de Caminhada de Seis Minutos (TC6), London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale (LCADL), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) e Índice BODE (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exercise capacity). Observaram-se correlações positivas moderadas do CAT com o questionário mMRC (r=0,35; p=0,048), a pontuação total da LCADL (r=0,60; p<0,001) e com a porcentagem da pontuação total da LCADL (r=0,57; p=0,001). Apenas a pontuação total da LCADL é capaz de predizer independentemente a pontuação do questionário CAT (p<0,05; r²=0,61). Não foram constatadas correlações significativas entre o CAT e o Índice BODE, IMC, TC6 e VEF1. Dessa forma, quanto maior o nível de dispneia nas AVD, maior o impacto da DPOC no estado de saúde do paciente, entretanto, o mesmo não ocorre em relação ao prognóstico de mortalidade nos pacientes com DPOC em RP.

Introduction: The Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire is considered an adequate and simple measure of breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is widely used in clinical practice in Portugal, but it still lacks confirmatory evaluation for the Portuguese setting. The aim of this study was to perform a cultural adaptation and validation of the Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire so that its most suitable version can be made available to researchers and clinicians in Portugal.Material and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional descriptive study involving patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease aged 40 years or older. We applied the Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire and the previously validated Portuguese-language version of the clinical questionnaire for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease between January and June 2019. We determined the agreement between the two questionnaires with kappa agreement, with a 95% confidence interval, and we used Spearman correlation to find a correlation between two scores.Results: The study included 65 patients managed in a hospital pulmonology clinic (aged 68 ± 7 years; with predicted FEV1 of 49.86% ± 16.5%). The Modified British Medical Research Council scale correlated significantly with all the domains and the overall score of the clinical questionnaire for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (0.46 < r < 0.68; p < 0.001). In bilingual patients, interclass correlation coefficient was 0.912 (p < 0.001).Discussion: Our study showed that the Portuguese-language version of the Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire is feasible and externally valid when compared with a traditional and previously validated instrument.Conclusion: The Portuguese version of the Modified British Medical Research Council Questionnaire is a valid instrument for measurement of breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: We examined the responsiveness of the Manchester Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Fatigue Scale (MCFS) in patients with COPD following 8 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Methods: Patients ( n = 273) with clinically stable COPD completed 8 weeks of outpatient multidisciplinary PR, comprising 2 h (1 h exercise and 1 h education) weekly. Anxiety, exercise capacity, quality of life, dyspnea, fatigue were measured pre- and post-PR, utilizing the Anxiety Inventory for Respiratory Disease (AIR), Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale and MCFS, respectively. Results: The mean (SD) age of participants was 72 (8) years, and 50% were women. Total MCFS score fell after PR mean (95% confidence interval) −4.89 (–7.90 to −3.79) as did domain scores: physical −1.89 (–2.33 to −1.46), cognition −1.37 (–1.65 to −1.09), and psychosocial −1.62 (–2.00 to −1.62). Total MCFS effect size (ES) was 0.55; and for domains, physical was 0.52, cognition was 0.59, and psychosocial was 0.51. The ES for AIR was 0.30, mMRC was 0.38, SGRQ was 0.66, and ISWT was 1.19. MCFS changes correlated with changes in both SGRQ ( p < 0.002) and AIR ( p < 0.004), but not ISWT ( p = 0.30) or mMRC ( p = 0.18). The AIR, SGRQ, mMRC, and ISWT all improved after PR (all, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The MCFS scale is a valid and responsive scale to measure fatigue in patients with COPD after pulmonary rehabilitation.

Aim: To investigate gender-related information needs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using the Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ). Design: Cross-sectional, prospective cohort study. Methods: Patients with COPD receiving standardized self-management education including information regarding disease knowledge, medications, avoidance of exacerbation, smoking cessation, exercise, and nutrition were included. Gender differences were assessed by pulmonary function tests, 6-minute walking test, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, and LINQ. Results: A total of 122 patients were enrolled. Females displayed significantly higher information needs for total LINQ score ( p < .001), avoidance of exacerbation ( p < .03), and nutrition ( p < .006). Significant correlations were seen between total LINQ score and gender ( p = .001), forced expiratory volume in 1 second, % predicted ( p = .003), and Mini-Mental State Examination ( p = .002) for male patients. In females, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale was correlated with the total LINQ score ( p = .04).
