Physical Tests Are Poorly Related to Patient-Reported Outcome Measures during Severe Acute Exacerbations of COPD.

ABSTRACT: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have a negative impact on patients' health status, including physical function and patient-reported outcomes. We aimed to explore the associations between physical tests and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in hospitalised patients for an AECOPD. Patients were assessed on the day of discharge. Quadriceps force, handgrip strength, short physical performance battery (SPPB), five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5STS), four-meter gait speed test (4MGS), balance test, six-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale (LCADL), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, Checklist of Individual Strength (CIS)-fatigue subscale, and Patient Health Questionnaire
