Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality globally. The Quality of Life Instrument for Chronic Diseases(QLICD)-COPD(V2.0) was designed to assess the health condition of patients with COPD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of patients, the influential clinical factors, and the relationships between QOL and clinical objective indicators. Methods Two hundred and sixty-one in-patients with COPD in the acute exacerbation stage were evaluated using the QLICD-COPD(V2.0) and data on clinical objective indicators were collected. The relationships between QOL and the clinical objective indicators were determined using canonical correlation analysis. Results The standardized scores for the patients in four domains, namely physical function, psychological function, social function, and a disease-specific module, were 49.00 ± 12.91, 59.89 ± 13.51, 68.59 ± 11.94, and 51.84 ± 13.58, respectively. The total score for the QOL of patients was 57.17 ± 10.26. Two pairs of canonical correlation variables were statistically significant (P < 0.05), with coefficients of 0.35 and 0.26. These variables respectively accounted for 45.8% and 33.8% of the variance. The levels of total protein, albumin, serum sodium, and alkaline phosphatase and the percentages of neutrophils and lymphocytes were correlated with the QOL. Conclusion During COPD treatment, clinicians should pay close attention to the levels of total protein, albumin, serum sodium, and alkaline phosphatase and the percentages of neutrophils and lymphocytes to improve the QOL of patients.

Programme Of Care

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary education and exercise programme of care for patients with chronic respiratory disease, particularly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to reduce symptoms, decrease disability, increase participation in physical and social activities and improve overall quality of life in patients who may still be very disabled despite optimal pharmacological treatment. Pulmonary rehabilitation first began more than 30 years ago and is now established as an important part of the management of COPD.

And Control

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) leads to limited activity and reduced quality of life. Treatment of this disease is a long-term process that requires the cooperation of patients in monitoring and treatment. Methods: In the present study which was conducted from April 2019 to March 2021 in Masih Daneshvari Hospital, Tehran, Iran, 75 patients were randomly divided into telerehabilitation and control groups. Patients in the control group received pulmonary rehabilitation including respiratory, isometric, and aerobic exercises for 8 weeks, three times per week. In the second group, patients were given a lung rehabilitation booklet and asked to repeat the exercises three times a week for four weeks according to a specific schedule. In addition, patients installed Behzee care application on the mobile phone that recorded various indicators such as heart rate, SpO2, dyspnea, fatigue, and daily activities. This application reminded the patient of the program every day and at a specific time. Finally, the patients’ conditions were compared in the two groups after 8 weeks using CAT and mMRC questionnaires and 6-Minute Walk (6MW) exercise indices as well as spirometry tests. Results: In all four indicators (6MW, CAT,  and mMRC questionnaires as well as spirometry), patients showed improvement after rehabilitation (p<0.001). This improvement was significantly higher in the telemedicine group compared to the other group (p<0.01). Conclusion: The use of telerehabilitation in COPD patients is effective in improving spirometry indices, quality of life, as well as activity and sports indices.
