The impact of smoking on respiratory rehabilitation efficacy and correlation analysis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was a significant public health concern, with smoking being the primary risk factor for its development and progression. The impact of smoking on respiratory rehabilitation efficacy in COPD patients remains an area of interest and investigation. This study aimed to assess the influence of smoking on the efficacy of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with COPD.

Methods

Data of patients with COPD from October 2015 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed in this case-control study. The patients who had previously participated in a pulmonary rehabilitation program were excluded. Pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life, and sleep patterns were evaluated before and after rehabilitation.
