Multidimensional outcome assessment of pulmonary rehabilitation in traits-based clusters of COPD patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clusters of COPD patients have been reported in order to individualize the treatment program. Neither co-morbidity clusters, nor integrated respiratory physiomics clusters contributed to a better prediction of outcomes. Based on a thoroughly assessed set of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary traits at the start of a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program, we recently described seven clusters of COPD patients. The aims of this study are to confirm multidimensional differential response and to assess the potential of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary traits-based clusters to predict this multidimensional response to PR pulmonary in COPD patients.

Methods

Outcomes of a 40-session PR program for COPD patients, referred by a chest physician, were evaluated based on the minimal c
