Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation ? • … depends on who you ask ! • common theme: • multidisciplinary program designed to optimize physiological, psychological, and social outcomes for COPD patients and their care-givers • practical definition depends on the program design and intent • ‘Group Exercise’ ↔ ‘Comprehensive Care’
PR improves dyspnea and activity limitation in COPD patients (1) COPD patients benefit from PR regardless of patient age, disease severity, and sex (2) PR is beneficial across all levels of COPD severity, and should be considered earlier in the course of COPD (3) allow for a greater emphasis on promoting health rather than regaining function Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Who Benefits From PR? 1 Ries AL, et al. Chest 2007; 131:4S-42S. 2 Hailey D, et al. CADTHHTA Report, April 2010. 3 Nici L, et al. J Cardiopulm Rehab Prev 2009; 29:141-151.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Candidates strongly recommended patients with moderate, severe and very severe COPD participate in PR (Recommendation Grade 1C) currently, there is insufficient data to make a recommendation regarding mild COPD patients strongly recommended that both women and men be referred for Pulmonary Rehabilitation (Recommendation Grade 1C) Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Candidates strongly recommended COPD patients undergo PR within 1 month following AECOPD due to evidence supporting improved dyspnea, exercise tolerance and HRQL compared with usual care (Recommendation Grade 1B) PR within 1 month following AECOPD also recommended due to evidence supporting reduced hospital admissions and mortality compared with usual care (Recommendation Grade 2C) Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168
Physical Activity in COPD Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD COPD Admission Mortality Copenhagen City Heart Study, n=2386 COPD subjects confirmed by lung function [833 GOLD I, 1095 GOLD II, 354 GOLD III, 94 GOLD IV] No effect modification was found for sex, age, COPD severity, or IHD Garcia-Aymerich J, et al. Thorax 2009; 61:772-778.
Physical Activity in COPD 70 COPD [9 / 28 / 23 / 10] and 30 control subjects; activity monitor x 6-8 days. Trooster T, et al. Respiratory Medicine 2010; 104:1005-1011
Health Benefits of Physical Activity primary and secondary prevention: all-cause and cardiovascular-related deaths are decreased incidence of diabetes mellitus, cancer (colon, breast), and osteoporosis are significantly reduced how much exercise is necessary? weekly expenditure of ~1000 kcal associated with a 20-30% reduction in all-cause mortality less ‘volume’ of exercise is necessary solely for health benefits (~ 500 kcal/week) not much!

Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Patient-Centered Benefits Pulmonary Rehabilitation: • reduces shortness of breath • benefits exceed minimally clinically important difference (MCID) ie. 0.9 CRQ • improves exercise capacity • ~15-20% increase in maximal workload, and ~10% increase in peak VO2 • ~80% increase in endurance exercise time and ~50m increase in 6MWD Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), 2010; Ries AL, et al. Chest 2007; 131:4-42; O’Donnell DE, et al. Can Resp J 2007, 14:5B-32B; Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168; Hailey D, et al. CADTH 2010; 126:1-155.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Patient-Centered Benefits Pulmonary Rehabilitation: • improves health related quality of life • fall in SGRQ of ~7-8 units • reduces fatigue • reduces anxiety and depression, and other documented psychosocial benefits • decreases hospitalizations, hospital days, and healthcare utilization Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), 2010; Ries AL, et al. Chest 2007; 131:4-42; O’Donnell DE, et al. Can Resp J 2007, 14:5B-32B; Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168; Hailey D, et al. CADTH 2010; 126:1-155.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD More Benefits From PR … Pulmonary Rehabilitation: • is cost-effective • incremental cost-effectiveness ratio compared with usual care is $27,924 per additional quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained (moderate/severe/very severe) • improves survival …(?) • 29% reduction – recent Cochrane review [Puhan 2009] of PR after hospital admission Puhan M, et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2009; Ries AL, et al. Chest 2007; 131:4-42; Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168; Hailey D, et al. CADTH 2010; 126:1-155.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Ensuring Patient Benefits Program design, delivery and duration • CTS has recommended longer duration PR programs, beyond 6 – 8 weeks duration, be provided for COPD patients • ‘Kindergarten’ vs ‘Graduation’ philosophies • lower limb aerobic exercise must always be the foundation of the program • no differences in major outcomes between community/home sites vs hospital sites • coordinated and supervised Maltais F, et al. Ann Intern Med 2008; 149:869-878; Ries AL, et al. Chest 2007; 131:4-42; Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Maximizing Patient Benefits • explore methods to further optimize training • can we accelerate training to potentially shorten the duration of initiation phase? • can patients achieve greater physiologic gains? • start earlier in the course of the disease? • do we place a greater emphasis on promoting health rather than solely on regaining function? • how to best optimize patient outcomes with limited resources and access ie. priority setting • should coordinated group pulmonary/cardiac/ diabetes/etc rehabilitation become more common? • ”trying to do too much = achieving very little” Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168.
Barriers to Implementation of PR access and adherence highlighted as the most significant challenges “immediate urgency for these obstacles to be address and to be removed. It is not acceptable for health care providers, patients and health care systems to accept the current status quo – the benefits cannot be ignored” PR must be accepted as an integral component of COPD management “barriers to participation in PR and burdens of therapy must be acknowledged and minimized.” Marciniuk DD, et al. Can Resp J 2010; 17:159-168
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD Summary • Pulmonary Rehabilitation plays a sentinel role in the comprehensive management of COPD • it must become ‘routine’ • there are significant and meaningful patient-centered clinical benefits of effective Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD • we must recognize, acknowledge and eliminate barriers to patients participating and fully realizing the clinical benefits of PR in COPD
